Hi every1,

Reading this for almost an hour...... smile_wink.gif

I had a very bad exp for our lovely pug too...
Weeks ago I Traver to Thai krabi n that's just done my 20k service (8 months).... B4 send the car check the batt which has the green mark so the batt should b good... After service happy for my trip ... I end up car die at Thailand krabi.. sad.gif and that's after the whole day driving which is tired and pisssss me off....

The wors is warning show gear box faulty... @&@Â¥#%##Â¥%#@&
That's really scary and after a few try the warning turn become swhich to economy mode.... After check the handbook got nothing to say what's this warning mean.... So text my sales person she was kind to help me make few calls to the technician and they say is batt konk(but the indicator still in green mark)they said that batt is like that .... @&@&@%#%^%^#^¥£@$@$
But at lease that's sound better (to cool down myself) .... And ask me look for Din 55 to replace it .

So the next day I called Thai Peugeot helpline and they really help me out for this they send me a guy to check my batt then help me jump start ask me drive back to hotel he will help me get the batt ... 2 hours later the men back with the batt n help me replace it then gv me a bill total of RM 440 .. With all the service .... (lucky me not too exp)

This is after so many times drove to Thai with so many different cars and this the only car I need look for help... Even my last monster converted turbo also no prob for me driving up to Thai north chaing rai ...

The problem is why not the SC gv advice to me when I sent my car to service when 20k ????????
Since they know the batt got problem.... Coz wanna save the money not to change for us under warranty ?????

This end up to draw all the Peugeot supporter away .... Sad for nazim ....


Hope my new Din 55 is ok for a year ...

2nd battery died.. sad.gif Luckily my car is safely parked in my place.
Mileage just around 27K..
What's the better procedure to follow?
1. Call careline and get them to send a person to change the battery (and pay for this battery). Then claim back from Nasim
2. Start the car and drive to the nearest SC and get them to change it. The last time I did this, they gave me excuses that I'm not entitled to replace my battery on the same day (from BB Glenmarie). I need to leave my car over-night there.. haihzz..

Updated:..

Car cannot start at all after 1 full night. Called careline and they told me they will send in a mechanic to change.
I asked them whether should I pay since it's under warranty.. later they have another guy calling me back telling me, since I've replace my battery once, it has no warranty anymore. I will need to purchase a new battery for a new warranty.
Total costs RM515 (RM450 + RM65 labor) for a DIN60 Delcor battery. sad.gif labor so expensive?!
