I have a 2013 508 and have been using it for around 4 years now. First things first, the authorized service center sucks! If you car is not under warranty, I highly suggest servicing outside. Secondly, there are a few items which are being recalled (high pressure pump, timing chain, etc) so pls check if it has already been done by calling up the service center.

I have been servicing my car regularly every 9-10k km's and the ATF and every 40k km and so far I have not had any issues.

Some have been complaining about price or spare parts, but i personally think it's not that bad. The price of servicing the transmission oil is about rm350. Try comparing that to other continental cars like Volkswagen.

Just not fair to compare transmission oil of DSG vs normal torque converter, obviously dct gear oil/L are more expensive.

Not sure as many Peugeot suffer from many parts failed which sometimes wonder it is really a design flaws or parts quality itself. One example i know one owner had his wiper control module k.o, cannot engaged wiper and need about close to rm2k replacement.

Trust me on this, VW is much easier to maintain compared to Peugeot sweat.gif

My peugeot has been in and out of workshop for few times every month since oct 2019. The VW last workshop visit was July 2019.

Once the MCO ends immediately the Peugeot needs to be towed to workshop to have it worked on, VW also have to visit workshop as well but only some issue that does not immobilise the car and still can be used now during mco period.

PS: VW can get many quality OEM parts, Peugeot not so much, u have to stick to the originals

lousy engineering! parts cant last long. Parts damn blardy Mahal! and well known to rosak very frequently compared to Jap cars.Only silly people will buy Korean cars. however, those who bought Korean cars will never buy another korean car again cos trauma d hahaha.

If you dont believe...go ask your friends who own a korean car. Dont listen to anyone in car forums. You have to ask people you know personally then only you will belip me.

Dah la we susah payah tell them dont buy pijot....they mati2 degil macam kerbau tak nak dengar. Ok la...jadi bila kerbau itu dah beli ... menyesal gila la sbb keta kerap break down....kerap kena tow....parts gila mahal.... habis gaji setiap bulan utk repair Pijot yg tak berguna.

Takpe. As they say: there is always a sucker born every minute! rclxms.gif
Kalau nak beli Pijot..... BELI! Jangan Tak BELI!!! thumbup.gif

Funny, cos I own a Korean car. A Hyundai Elantra MD (2010-2016 model) to be exact. I have not experienced any of the problems you described. Am I an exception to the norm? Have you owned a Korean car before?

Even funnier, I'm waiting for the latest Kia Sorento to hit our shore as my family is getting bigger. Something something owners of Korean cars would never consider another Korean car, right?

Dulu Jiran I ada 508. Not direct jiran la....cos his house is 5 houses after my house....but I always chat with him whenever I see him at the padang.

Tak habis2 508 problem. Every few weeks ada saja new problem with his 508. Within 1 year, he sent his car to workshop more than 10 times to repair...bukan utk service tau...tapi utk REPAIR! Pernah OVERHEAT 2 kali di tengah jalan...once kat Duke Highway (radiator tak bocor tapi water pump konk)...and second time 4 months later kat LDP. The second time keta langsung tak boleh jalan sbb Radiator dah bocor dan OVERHEAT like mad. Jadi kena tow!

In that 1 year he spent more than RM 16,000 for repair. HAHAHA..... gilaaaaaa. Thats how I know how teruk Pijot is.

Takpe....kalau dah berkenan dgn Pijot...BELI LA PIJOT!!! BUY BUY BUY!!! PIJOT... the best car in the world hahahaha.
