Recommended Posts

Any bros here bought Peugeot Partner 1.6A e-HDI Van 2015?

please share if you also got the earlier version. 

 

Just got 1 recently only to find out that,

1. the back door panel's hinge has rust spots on both sides and also a rusty screw. (brand new, but found out only a day after the collection of the vehicle.

2. The servicing that came with it is labour only. (charges for oil change and etc will be charged)

    a, 1st servicing will cost $182 (after free labour)

    b. 2nd servicing will cost $366 (after free labour)

    c. subsequent servicing will be about $500

 

Servicing will be done at an interval of 10k or 6 month which ever is earlier and price will be subjected to changes and before GST.

 

A check with fiat and citroen turns out that, if you buy their van's, pretty much comes with a 3 to 5 years servicing package free. Labour and standard parts inclusive.

 

Since already bought it, pretty much nothing i can do, but welcome any bros to share their experiences. Very hard to find someone who bought peugeot van to comment.

my friend berlingo CEL came on and after awhile, whole engine ruined and repair cost more than 10k.

 

its a MUST to stop immediately if CEL lit up. Engine oil pump was the cause of failure. :lll._.:

bought liao.

 

also conti are stronger and surviveability is way higher than jap makes.

 

got into accidents before and survived. (mostly other peoples faulty, FYI). How to put a price in that?

 

Those vehicles that i got into accident with esp with jap, they got hurt pretty badly (bumper dented in deep) and all i got is scratches. so European is always my top choice.

 

Previously before this ride, i was driving a Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.9MJTD.

 

thus, just checking with the bros, to share their experience if anyone bought into a van, especially a peugeot partner van recently.

hi, where do you get your filter from?

and where did you pour your engine oil?

 

Oil filter can buy from Kee Beng (Bendemeer Rd) or parts supplier.

Used oil return to workshop for disposal.

They have barrels usually in front of the shop. A truck will come by regularly to swap out the barrel.

The workshop actually get cash for the used oil from the truck guy.

i mean, changing of oil, i have never done that. but i do need a hose or pail to hold the oil right? bottom line, that's not something i do in a car park or any location.

You can service your van at Thomas & Partners. But please check that this does not void your warranty.

 

Thomas specialises in Peugeot & Citroen vans. He used to be working in one of the French brand distributors before he left to set up his own workshop.

thanks. it will void warranty. but just sucks that the servicing = free labour only.

 

anyone else can share their peugeot experience with their vans? or best, if someone actually got the same van as me.

I only have experience with kangoo and combo. I like the good handling it offer, turbo, steering is heavy and can be really fun to drive. Clutch is tight though, if you drive the old models. Replacements of parts are expensive. Labour cost also slightly higher.

You will also need a proper place to dispose of the oil - 

It can't be placed into the rubbish bin or tipped down the stormwater drain. 

 

Most workshops have a large drum of used oil and will have special contracts for disposal

There are a few ways to change oil.

 

1. Traditional way is have a large oil pan beneath the oil sump/oil drain plug.

http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-17942-Black-Pan-Capacity/dp/B000JFHMVQ/

Then you need newspapers or something on the ground to contain any spillover as you remove the oil plug.

 

A) You might also need something to jack up your car/van and jack stands.

 

B) Or drive over a ramp and access from below

http://www.amazon.com/RhinoGear-11909-RhinoRamps-Vehicle-Capacity/dp/B006EGAIII/

 

Obviously, you need to crawl under the van and remove the oil plug with the right tool.

 

2. This method use vacuum to suck the oil

http://www.amazon.com/Mityvac-7201-Fluid-Evacuator-Plus/dp/B0002SR7TC/

Insert the hose into the oil dipstick hole and pump away.

It may work in some engine, but others may be restricted if the hose is blocked from going all the way down to the engine bottom.

 

3, You will need tools to remove the oil filter. Is this a cartridge type or spin-on? You need to get the right filter and the right tools to remove.

 

Then you need to transfer the oil to another container and dispose of it at the right place.

 

 

 

As for place, you need to find your own discreet area.

Public car park is officially "not allowed".

But you still see people washing their cars, detailing, cleaning on a Sunday.

So use your imagination.

Hi bros

 

i am in the procuring of procuring a commercial vehicle for my business. Have two options now.

 

1. Get a Van at 81k under the Early turnover Scheme

2. Get a Van at 86k by bidding for normal Cat C vehicle. 

 

If i choose 1. I believe there is no need to bid but the COE for the new vehicle will be lower hence my future paper value will be lower (correct me if im wrong). If choose 2 COE will be higher. 

 

Can please advise? 

 

when i sold my fiat doblo and got the new peugeot.

 

scape value $10 (yes, there is no missing zeros)

tow $200

taxi back to home $20

 

so ....... option 1 is the best!

My conclusion, i will pay for the mechanic. hhahahaa.

i like the combo, got some friends driving it in the past.

 

for kangoo, i thought it's way too underpowered and small. thought the clutch of the kango is light.

compared to the fiat doblo 2013 that i have droved.

cheapest of the cheap is to buy a going to coe van, then renew coe

 

$500 + coe = $55k

Good suggestion but unfortunately $500 for an expiring van is difficult to find; many are selling as though their vans have PARF values.

I drove the euro 2, 2005. Clutch is indeed tight. Subsequent model clutch is lighter.

well, there is ETS, unless you are buying direct from the owner and have no clue of ETS,

 

no way will a trader let you have his profit.

 

but there is some van going for 5k and less, you just have to keep a look out for it.

No one here drive a peugeot van???
