Just gathered the receipt in my car's glovebox, for this year (2015) maintenance alone..



After all these there are still parts that needs to be replaced such as the wheel bearings, aircond cooling coil and condenser, absorber.

This is only a 4 year old Peugeot. An average bread and butter european car. I wonder how much do premium european car owner (BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc etc) spend on yearly maintenance alone?

Any owners would like to share theirs?

What tires were you using anyway? 1.4K++ for a pair?

Anyway, prepared to bear the consequence for the so-called premium ride. I think most of the time, you can get away without doing the unnecessary maintenance but if you really like the car and wish to keep it in really good condition, this is the price to pay.

Not sure how much pricing has changed, but I was usually asked to drive the car back after servicing. Normal oil change already >1K 2-3 years ago. Speaking of which, I do noticed that even the Japanese marques had price increase for official sc servicing.

all SC works of course expensive,

toyota also easily reach that fiure

Battery RM320 fuuuuuuu can tahan up to 5 years?

yep sc price is expensive. unless u'r still under warranty.

Does the front brake disc and engine mount need to be replaced so early at 77k? Is this a normal routine maintenance for peugeot cars?

Wow 3k for tires? That's pretty ex

Goodyear Asymmetric 2 225/40/18

only the oil change was done at SC (for record keeping ), other repair works are done at an outside specialist.

1 year only

My front and rear brake disc was badly scratched and I was told not to skim it (all specialist I went told the same thing). So for cost purposes I only did the front ones first as the rear ones are way more expensive than the front.

Yes my mounting crack already

to change the engine mount at 77k kms is pretty early. Usually engine mount would fail at 100k - 150k depending on how you drive. Nevertheless, Peugeots are not well known for reliability. Thus, you would spend more than usual to upkeep your ride.

Also, why was your disc brakes badly scratched? Didn't you use the original brake pads? Or was it aftermarket ones?

All original, not a single aftermarket part in this car

Well, worse still my Proton had its engine mounting failed at 30k KM, luckily its under warranty

damn espensip.

Great sharing. To be frank, your maintenance is a little at the high side. Of course the maintenance takes into consideration based on the distance traveled too.

I'm driving a 3 year old CC, I spent around 1K for maintenance + brake pads changes for this year alone. I would say newer car needs to maintain less.

Nice sharing. I'm also in the mid of clearing all papers in my 7 year old vw polo. Here is breakdown money spent:
2014
- normal service: filter, oil, plug seal rm378
- radiator leak: rm498
- backside itchy, change absorber to Bilstein B8: rm3200
- major service: timing belt, water pump, normal service, all bushes, gear oil, DV, vacuum hoses, spark plugs, 4x Michelin PS3, etc rm7800 eat ping pong biscuits for few months.
Total in 2014: rm11,876

2015
- normal service: rm550
- change battery (Trane) after 3 years of use: rm404
Total in 2015: rm954

Not really. My previous vios also change engine mounting less than 100K. I do admit I 'FLY' over bumps like rally.

I think in Malaysia hot and humid weather, even rubber products are not spared. They tends to harden after few years especially if you left it to baked in the sun a lot.

remove the absorbers and tyres, wayyy cheaper than TS

yup... definately it depends on the way you drive. My scooby bought brand new to date never had any engine mounting problem. Mileage is now 90k. My previous ride, Alphard can go 130k before I had to change the mounts!

then it's a surprise that the disc is badly scratched. What's more worse is that it's not advisable to skim it.

Like all continentals, Peugeot are nice to drive but when maintenance kicks in...

If this is what you have to pay to maintain a Pug then maintaining a BMW or Merc is less expensive. My brother spends about RM6K a year to maintain his Merc. A BMW owner (3 series) also told me about RM6K. Not sure about Audi.
