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?

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

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

Oil change is standard pricing at SC, RM300 for 5W30 Total/Mobil1, battery use DIN 66,

Door actuator and module is because the car door electrical system failed, and because of the frameless door design, I cannot open the door because the window wont wind down a little as the system did not register to the computer that the door is being opened

Wiper blade usually around 250-300 a pair, go ask other 308 users, this 30" 26" pair is very hard to get and specialised for only this car..

Early Last year (2014), the coolant pipe burst twice in the period of 1 week, 1k+ once for the repair, so around 2k.. late last year the high pressure fuel pump went dead. Another 2k

March 2011. And its a CBU unit. Allthose people saying CKD units are bad because its assembled locally, isnt true at all

Thus,this is for 2015 only. For last year, other parts like the high pressure pump,coolant, engine oil leak, major service so its +- the cost is around the same this year. For this car the tyres and batteries are a yearly affair

I dont have 2013 and earlier data since that time the car was still under warranty, and yes, so many parts was claimed during warranty period as well

It's already out of warranty since 2014, one of the last batches to only get 3 years warranty

Correct, but changed the radiator because the coolant had leaked again
