Hi Fido,

Just did 15K service (1st one), cost around RM100, bring my own Shell
Helix Ultra. Next service 30K. But now seriously considering C8 (without
leather seat and LCD monitor)

cheers

Hi guys !
Peugeot 807, C8 & Fiat Uly are same platform jointly developed by them.
That is why it looks same.

Just have a look of C8 yesterday. Good effort, but I would say there is
rooms to improve, especially the seat. Also, I am worrying about the auto
sliding door. It may brings you headach in the future. Need to check out
with Crysler Voyager if it's sliding having any problem ?!

Anyway, with C8 pricing at RM169k, you may have a look of Renault Espace.
After all, C8 gave me the feeling of "copycat" of Espace. No wonder
people said most of the MPV today are benchmarking from Espace.

Anyway, heard that Espace IV cost around RM200k. True????!

Hi livwin, I'm been driving my Evasion Model 2000 for a year. Bought it
second hand. So far had clocked 42,000km. Maintenance had done every
15,000km or approx once a year as I seldom travel outstation. Maintenance
cost are reasonable looking at you only need to service at every 15,000km
comparing with Jap made which is every 5,000km. Spare parts can easily
source out and quite costly compare to any other Japanese parts.

Space wise is very roomy & comfortable especially for long distance
journey. Road handling very good & very quite; no whistling sound when
speeding abv 160km. At wet road can still travel at 130km compare with
any Jap car which you can feel the car will wibrate.

Hi,
Need to fire a few q's regarding Evasion as I'm about to get one 2nd
hand..
1)What is the interval 2 change the timing belt? Anything else needs
changing 2gether with the tmg belt?
2)What's the interval for changing the power steering fluid?
3)What about the cooling system i.e interval for flushing & refilling?
4)Anything else to look for? Tq..

p/s,
Seen the list prepared by 16V.. lot's of zx's & xantia's but no
Evasion. How come? No offence

[abdjamil]

Hi Art806,
Based on my experience using model 2000,

1. Timing belt chg at 60,000km
2. chg fluid - brake/steering/coolant & spark plug/air filter/fuel filter
at 40,000km
3. others like air intake filter for air-cond (3 units) located under the
wiper - have to chk regularly.
4. watch for uneven worn at two front wheel tyres; citroen will advise for
adjustment to be done at one workshop near Kepong (Cit expert for wheel
balancing)

cheers.........

Hi livwin,
Have u found your Evasion? If you have, what is the interest rate
that you got for the financing? How's the car been serving you, if I may
ask? Thanks...

[Art806]

Hi Abdjamil,
Thanks for the reply but I still need a few info.
1) When u change the tmg belt, did you change the tensioner bearing as
well? Anything else that is worth checking when changing the tmg belt?
2) Where do you normally go for your servicing?
3) If you buy your own parts, which shop that you frequent?

Thanks........
