hi guys, would like to hear opinion from peugeot 208 owner,ex-owner or anybody that know about the car. Is it a good continental car or is it a very problematic and high running cost in terms of services? looking to buy a secondhand peugeot 208 and there is alot of them selling in a very reasonable price and used for only 1-2 Years with warranty. Its very tempting but it sounds kinda fishy because who bought a car to used for only 1-2 years? Unless there is a lot of rich dudes out there  tongue.gif

if u no need work, and got heaps of free time, and love going to service centres,
yes it is the perfect car.

all their cars got problem, and when got problem, they (SC) don't admit it.
I have been driving around with this timebomb for 1 week.
acceleration slow, clunking suspension, etc

Engine check light lit you mean? What's the problem?

How do you find the workmanship and the service quality of the after sales service?
*
so many problem that even the sc don't know what they are doing.
fix 1 item, break another item, then want to fix say tungu next milage service.

workmanship win liao, send service, break something else, then ask to pay as they dont admit.
after sales service makes you want to go else where fix, try pj then glenmarie still not good, now finding another one.
sometimes it makes you want to go kedai uncle, at least they fix better than sc..

If I truly know what the problem is, I don't need send SC already, sendiri fix better.

quite surprise with your issue. so far my family member didnt have any issue regarding warranty claim (308 & 508). off course sc visit is a norm to them. but all the sc honoured their warranty claim (balakong sc).

from electrical problem..turbo valve..leaking..aircond..all repaired free under warranty.
*
maybe I need go belakong now. PJ and glam doh.gif

oh running extended warranty now.
2 years used up, now extended (they used to offer extended by paying extra) 2 years.

submitting claim slow, apparently is not the SC but the SC runner.
he left our claims in his filing for >weeks and we had to chase up.

and the extended warranty is not like normal warranty which covers everything.
extended only covers what they want. so many items have to fork out etc.

tell your family members, 3rd year you fuel pump will break.
and peugeot will blame you for keeping your fuel levels low (which I did not)
my 3008 and friend 308 both similar time brought, both masuk workshop same time, same issue, same response.

GG next time I masuk workshop, suspension koyak (3rd time), turbo maybe koyak, engine oil issues, and check engine issues.
last time masuk 3 weeks ago, is overheat, radiator, electronics sensor, piping, etc.
My service logbook sangat tebal 1.

I feel sad that I am destroying my car's resale value, but this needs to be spoken up,
not many people have the time to play in SC, and they think they upgraded from proton/perodua etc.
but peugeot is like a downgrade IMO. pay more, still get more problems.

Buy peugeot = Buy problems

Sounds like the quality of service is not much different from P1.

But how about  the after sales service given by SDAC (Ford)?
*
dont know about that as I dont own and dont plan to buy a ford.

coming from straya, I know VW, Ford and Jeep are very notorious. (jeep last month extra famous)
in fact they are doing so bad that every program break on TV, will have all 3 company ads, definitely.
(is a sign that car not selling well)

I'm one of the pug 208 owner. Service wise RM500 for normal service and RM1.2k - 1.8k for major service. So far no issue with my car after 2.5 years  thumbup.gif

ya..ya extended warranty will happen like that. nway, my family member already looking fwd for a new replacement. dont think they want to form out huge amount of money just to repair here and there after the warranty ends.

yup better sell if can sell.
before the log book gains more 'history' of repairs and more word spreads out of the issue.
