Solution to Oil Leaking in Peugeot 408 Turbo ??

You might noticed there was no update in this blog since January 2017 until today. I was testing and monitoring the "solution" from Glenmarie to "cure" the oil leakage in my Peugeot 408T before this. They did it during early of January 2017. And to be fair, I did a full ran of 10,000 km, which took me 4 months to complete. So how is the outcome? 

Surprisingly, another loss of more than 4L engine oil. Similar like before the "solution". During the monitoring process, I topped up 400 mL engine oil weekly. Why don't I return to Glenmarie to complain? I was thinking, that is solution from HQ, of course it work, maybe it got to take sometimes to see the improvement. So I kept quiet and monitor the condition. Until a full ran of 10,000km, before I can conclude any. 

Conclusion(s): 
1. My 408T still suffer for oil leaking (top up min 400 mL weekly)
2. The amount of engine oil loss is the same (more than 4L loss for 10,000 km)

I sent in my car to Geot Auto to carry out the 120,000 km maintenance service during early of May 2017. Why I did not send it back to Glenmarie to service and check? Well, the Glenmarie receptionist told me, "all appointment slots are full, we can only arrange you to end of May". Such a good business centre. So I booked with Geot Auto. 

I told Geot Auto service advisor to look into the oil leaking issue and asked them to replace the valve cover gasket. They checked and gave me a list of items to replace, that was the same list I received before, which cost my more than RM 4000 (refer to the previous post). I rejected Geot Auto's offer and continue to complain to Glenmarie. 

Glenmarie arranged me to send in my car for diagnose (yes again) to determine the root cause. Well, I will send in my car by June 20 to check. 

Before send in, let see how bad is the oil leaking? Everytime I stop my car, and I can get a rubber-burning smell from the engine. It was due to the heat up of the oil stick at the exhaust pipe. If you get the same smell, do check this out.  

Dripping happens for 7/24/365, and this is how I spend RM 300 for a 5L pack Mobil One engine oil. 

I visited to a work shop at USJ 1 to replace my front disc rotor and I told them to look into the engine bay. Trying to seek for second opinion. After the check, here are the items suggest to replace:

1. engine valve cover gasket

2. oil filter housing gastet (engine oil)

3. oil filter housing gasket (engine coolant)

**Comes with 12-months or 20,000 km warranty, which ever comes first**

The cost to repair is below RM 1000. But the quotation from Geot Auto is RM 4000++. I have no idea, and I yet to let them to do the repairing. I want to let Glenmarie to check first. 

Stay Tune.
