QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 1 2015, 07:23 PM) There is a 'level low' warning, but why wait for warning to trigger. You can topup with water. Or if close to next service, just inform them. my next srvice will b on 30 dec....dont think that coolant will last till dat time....tmwr will go to sc for topup....so it is normal for the coolant to dry up quickly....OOoo I notice mine drops to min level and always topped at every service. My 1st year I was very concerned and thought might be a leak. A complete check including water pump, no leaks! Seems to be a characteristics of this engine. Nothing to worry if no leaks, just top up every service!   ....tq 4 da info bro @SKYjack |

Update about my car :
1) went to sc aftr the car coolant above min level.....aftr chcking they found problem with water pump...SC need to order from HQ......SC said its normal for turbo car like pug suck a lot of coolant....also they topup the coolant 2) Is it true that Malaysia pug took out the coolant alert from the car becoz it too sensitive....i means if the coolant touch the min level it will beep us although it still sufficeint for the car....that what been told by my SC.... |

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Nov 10 2015, 08:21 AM) Yes that's the sound most of us had. It's an internal bearing that's defective. That particular part could be from a certain vendor. Only some of us had this problem, not every 408 rolled out of factory. thank u @SKYjack |

QUOTE(jiunkei_46 @ May 10 2016, 10:27 AM) could it be always on short trip like few KMs then off the engine? coz i think to ensure the battery can last long, it is good to always have more than 30 mins of driving, short trips will kill the battery fast last used the car on thursday & friday on short trip ulang alik hospital home coz my daughter warded....saturday & sunday the car park at home porch.....weekend also rainy & cold weather.....monday morning only start the car engine....could it lead to the battery problem? |

QUOTE(qpgoh @ May 11 2016, 11:04 PM) The technician try very hard still can't fit in, width no issue but DIN66 is really longet another half inches. this is the lenght the battery case...if din66 this long it will fit nicely...I think because of this reason they told me to used DIN55.  |

QUOTE(qpgoh @ May 12 2016, 06:54 AM) Hmm, my battery case only around 10.5 inches the max, and DIN66 is around 11 inches, that's why not fit. turbo and NA might have different size case maybe...i thought ours have same size...My 408 is bought on 2014-apr, why different size? |
