Peugeot offers 5-yr Warranty

Sounds great! but read those fine prints:
"tertakluk kepada Terma & Syarat..."

So far, the warranty claims during the existing 3-yr warranty period are already headaches! Obviously there would be nighmares when more defects surface out during the extended 2-yr period, and there will be tonnes of excuses to disqualify the warranty claim.

Don't be surprised when your car warranty is void "if the seal is broken..." For instance the seal could be considered broken if you had carried out unauthorised modifications and repairs ...

Some of the dumb things that can void warranty:
Unauthorised/after_market parts installation (light bulbs, batteries, brake pads/discs, air filter, etc..)
Use of "wrong" Engine Oil and fluids (ATF, brake fluid, etc..)
Use of non-conventional tire/wheel combinations or modify the suspension
Modifying/remapping ECU or "chip" tuning

Not withstanding, warranties are open to interpretation - If you feel that an SA has denied your warranty claim unfairly, you can always go higher up in the management echelon or contact PSA directly.


Good Luck!
