If it is your daily driver, also be prepared to have backup transportation to get to work, etc..etc.. You can potentially get a number of sensor errors and a few other that pops up on your dash. Not too serious issues but just the sensor. Also make sure that you are able to budget enough money for major repairs and major service (100k km coming up soon).

the 318 lci. fc jimat petrol

i think this is all plastic issue.... toyota also kena

turbo is cast metal. forget steel or alu
leak pun

yea. plan ahead d. Sensor wise still easy solve compare engine problem..

Invest in a good OBD reader like Launch which can reveal more tech details.

Will do..now using bluetooth 1 so far still ok..but i doubt once i bought the car i need invest proper 1

I bought one for my 3008. Always kept in the car. Whenever I come across another Peugeot, will try to help if needed.

Actually, you should also bring the car for a pre-purchase inspection first with your own trusted mechanic.

Buying from car dealer? Bring the key to Auto Bavaria they can read the real mileage from the key.

Most cases the mileage been tampered if buying from car dealers. You want worry free change all the radiator hoses, those are known the crap out and leave you stranded.

If the ZF “lifetime” gearbox fluids has never been changed before. Then make sure you test the shifting kao kao before buying. And immediately change it and the ATF pan. Get original part from BMW stockist, get the bolts too. ATF fluid is cheap, gearbox not cheap. Change every 5 years regardless of mileage.

Good car. Only problem IMO not enough power, but for daily driving, highway cruising, the gearbox masks it quite well. My lady friend bought the F20, I got the F30. Nothing to complain about (except power).

Oh M Sport worth the money. Must have. Way better seats.

Yea..for sure..

I might bought from Sime Darby...
I dunno how ZF comes out "lifetime" but i will do every 40k....as I done around 9k per year...40k / 4 years to change gearbox fluid should be decent enough..
How about differential oil? I never heard them change.. same with gearbox?

B38 most serious issue my mechanic encounter, turbo leak water coolant in it. Yes, they are water leak from the inner turbo and luckily during pressure leak test the exhaust downpipe were taken out and noticed the water dripping from it.

You got 3 options, either buy new turbo, service/fix turbo with China parts or buy half-cut.

The previous owner in the end choose half-cut

#metoo luckily idrive appear notice warning coolant finish
half cut so it might happens again

Differential oil uses a different oil compared to your gearbox. The viscosity for differential oil is thicker
