17th Jan 2009. Another big events for the Peugeot Club and My206Club TT, this time our TT si to visit the Meguiar's clinic at Hypercoat located at Subang USJ.

Around 10+ Peugeots car attended the events and almost 90% of the cars where 206 with 1x 407 and 1x 406.

The events started around 9.00am with some introduction about the company, products and also car care information.

Then we move one to the demo where Andy's car were choosen for the washing demostration and mine for the full detailing demo ( wash, clay, polish, wax and maintaining) as my car is the only black car there.

We also been treated with some F&B later on.


Hey shinning shinny
Even if a fly lands on it will fall down, coz it is slippery lol


Actually there were 3 cars goin back that day with shining new look after being given a free detailing on it. Blackdolphin blue 406, Andy's red 206 GTi and my black 206 Premium. Haha it is well worth it to go.


2 bags full

I didnt come back empty handed also after being treated with the free detailing, as it is a special day just for Peugeot cars they also giving some discount on the products which you will never get from any others place in Malaysia.. so i decided to get some.



Since i am kinda lazy person and it is abit troublesome for me to do some detailing on my car at my place, i decided just to buy the washing and maintaining range from them. As for others i might just send over my car to their shop.


Well i bought some
- Gold Class car shampoo and conditioner (for washing the car)
- Microfiber wash Mitt (kinda looks like a glove to wash the car)
- Supreme shine microfiber towel
- Hot Rims for the rims (well, Dolphin force me to buy if i were to get his Rays rims lol)
- Quick Interior detailing for the dashboard
- Quick Detailer for maintaining the car exterior (after waxing etc.)
- Gold Class Leather cleaner and conditioner (for my leather seat)
- some application pad.


And i would say all these items is not cheap, it you were to get it from any normal retail shop it will cost you more than RM300++!! and that is just the washing part and its not even complete set (only around 80%) as there is still like 3+ types of brushes and tools.

For DIY full detailings with complete tools and products.. i think it will easily cost you more than RM1000++.. thats why i prefer to send over my car to them than do it myself.. as i did try it once before, i almost die from it.. very tiring and hard working.

To send and do a one off full detailing ( standard) i think it will cost your around RM250, but you dont need to do it all the time.. maybe about twice a years will be enough.

For more info do checkout the my206club later on when i got more picture of the events and also thanks to all the peoples from the Hypercoat for this great events and free detailings on my car

Click the picture and print it out then stick at behing the front seat headrest facing rear seat

Now recently the gov. had impliment the rule of having the rear seat car passanger to buckle up or be prepared to be fine. Now that is a good move as the rear seat belt does saved life or else it wont be there on modern cars (yeah yr 1995 and before cars is old, sorry to say that) But somehow the way of punishing those offenders is not acceptable by all. Now you will know what i meant.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Pualtan blog-

From the new year onwards, all passengers in a car whether sitting in the front or back have to buckle up or face a RM300 fine. This only applies if the passenger is over 17 years old, but if you are younger, the driver of the car is the one who will be punished as according to Road Transport

Director-General Datuk Solah Mat Hassan, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure the safety of the minors that they are driving.

This new seatbelt ruling includes the rear seatbelts, but excludes the following:

  • Cars registered before 1st of January 1995
  • Cars registered after the 1st of January 1995 but not equipped with rear seatbelt anchorage points
  • Commercial vehicles such as taxis and rental cars
  • Vehicles with more than 9 seats including the driver’s
  • Transport vehicles with capacity above 3.5 tonnes

Wait, that’s not all. The RM300 fine will be in effect only within a “grace period” of between the 1st of January 2009 to the end of June 2009. From the 1st of July 2009 onwards, this fine will be upped to RM2,000 and you could even go to jail for up to 1 year. Yes, it may seem harsh… but if you buckle up, you won’t have to worry. It’s for your own safety anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the look of it.. the gov. already given some so called trial period where those who didnt buckle up at the rear seat will be given a warning last year (2008) and now starting from 1 Jan there is will a fine of RM300.00 since you had your chances to get used to it last year. And if you are still stubborn or hardheaded.. oh well you can be fine up to RM2000 or up to 1 year jail.. weeheyyy... now that means business.

Now from this article me and my mate well, Andy Gti and i had a heated so called debated which lasted for hours lol (yeah kinda sad uh?). In his opinion the fine of the ridiculous high price is bunch of bollocks, his fact?

-It is a nature of human to forget (sounded like Mahathir's melayu mudah lupa.. yeah) and it is very unfair for them to be fine at such a high price (RM2k / 1 Year jail) for something that they forgotten.. eg. buckle up the seat belt la.
-And it is unfair for those who followed the law (so called good citizen) to be fined just because they forgotten just once (very unlucky) while those who didnt follow the law so (called bad citizen) to get away with it. (He knows coz he said he seen the world.. or Malaysia in this matter)


Ok now.. i do agreed with him, he got his point.. but then again.. i think it is just a bunch of bollock excuses.... using 'forgot' ,'lupa', 'oublié' ,'忘记' ,'भूल गया' as his main point.

They way i think of it.. well there should be something to make peoples to remember. To imprint in thier mind that not wearing a seat belt at the rear seat now is an offence. It is a very simple and straight forward way to do it.. you dont wear, you got caught, you get fine. Thats it.. no gimmick no nothing.. same as the front passanger and driver, we always wear a seatbelt when we got into the car.. because we knew it is an offence if we dont wear it. (altho i knew some peoples purposely dont wear it esp. they think of it is just a short distance, its late at night no one will know etc and not because they forgot!) So my point is..

-You know how much it will cost you if you dont wear the seatbelt, so try to remember it and buckle up.
-If you forgot, and got fined which is very unlucky but by now you should had remember it deep in your heart to buckle up next time.
-You still forgot.. thats means Rm2k / 1 yr jail means nothing to you.. then you deserve it la.. aka padam muka.

Now what does Andy tought of my opinion?.. well he said i am bollock naive.. my eyes is closed, didnt see the world close enough and bollock lol yeah alot of bollocks.. then again i ask him what should be done to make sure peoples remember to wear the seatbelt at rearseat?..
and i am still waiting for the answer tho.. maybe in his opinion is.. the gov. should just encourage peoples to wear the rear seatbelts and it is up to them to wear it or not.. so if you die thats your problems la.. who cares.

But end of they day.. i think it is a good move providing first time offenders gets a warning, then second time fine with no more than rm300, do again fine up to rm2,000 then 'forgot' again, jail.. still forgot... oh well go see doctor la..

And even with me and Andy debating or arguing.. it is a fact.. and it is really happening (altho the rm2k / 1yr jail i am not so sure it will happen.. you know la thing change mar) So for your own and your love one safety .. please buckle up la.. not very hard to do mar, just pull n click.

ps- if you really scare you might forget like what Andy mention.. i provided you some artwork where you can download it then print it out and stick in your car. .. see how good i am.. hehe


Smaller size, just click, save and print then stick it at the back of your front seat headrest facing rear seat


Much bigger size, click and save it then print it out, put it at the front seat rear pocket or something, kinda like aeroplane safety booklet :)

Taken while on the highway to JB on sunday

Due to me making quite a numbers of trip to JB (about 3-4 times) and also a couples of times back to hometown.. within 4 months my mileage has gone from 300km to 10,000+km.. so today its time to do the 10,000km servicing, previously i had done the first inspected at 2500km and first service at 4,600+km at Kheng Soon. But this time i am choosing Volcare, because;
1. They are using 'Total' engine oil.
2. I think the rest of the service centre (eps Bluebox / Kheng soon) would be packed on 31/12/08



Total 7000SM + oil filter

I am using the Total Quartz 7000SM 15w/50 semi syn. as i am planning to had my engine oil change on every 10,000km from now on. One funny thing i notice is altho Peugeot recommanded Total oil but at the bottle of the engine oil it didnt written anything about Peugeot instead its written recommanded for Mercedes Benz, VW, Nissan, Toyota etc.. lol


Oil filter

This is the oil filter and a damn expensive one too.. which cost around extra 100%-200% of the price from the outside spare part shop.. but what to do, since the car is under warranty you cant really bring your own parts for it.

Oil filter cap out.. wah the oil looks so black yet shinny.

Firstly.. they (the techician, mechanic call it whatever u like) will open up the oil filter (cap?) and let it drop down into a container at the bottom

The old oil filter

Then he will clean the (cap?) and put in the new filter in and fix it back to its position.


Draining old oil (Caltex, from Kheng soon lol) the oil look black thick and shinny tho.

Next is to 'jack' up the car in drain the engine oil from the bottom. Actually it took about few minutes to drain it, but i told the techician to leave it for 1/2hrs or so, so that its totally drain out clean lol.. well it wont be that clean but atleast get as much as the old oil out as possible.


Putting in new Total oil

After all is done, the car is lowered and new oil will be pour in. I did ask the mechanic how does he know how much to put it.. coz i dont think they will pour in a whole 4L bottle, and well he couldnt answer me how he know... but he just know when is enough lol...


IBM Laptop with windows XP

After all this done, now to check the electronic parts which means they will plug in a laptop with Peugeot Planet 2000 software and basically let is run/diagnosis the whole car systems


I wish i got this software to play around with

Well seems like everything is fine... and it had been reset to next service at the next 10,000km interval, So my next service will be on the 20,000km which i hope... not so soon la..


A closer look of the software interface. simple and seems easy

PS- Only at Volcare they allow me to hang around the working area.. took the picture talk with the mechanic while he is working and ask him to do this and that lol... others service centre?? well you will be asked to sit in the waiting area and drink coffee/watch TV hehe

Ok after been driving the car for almost 4 months i decided to 'rebadge' the 'engineer by peugeot' logo to the original/CBU version which is bigger.. another reason is also because i didnt want to repeat the 'Lion' emblems at the rear.. got the large one and another small one.


The original CKD 206 with smaller peugeot wording and repeated small and large lion emblems at he rear.


First of all i used a tape to mark up where the Peugeot word goin to be.. and also to make sure i didnt mess it up when put the logo and ended up the logo is uneven or slanding at one side


I guess the hardest part is how to take out the emblems.. some suggested just pull it out (which might broken it in pieces), some suggested using a screw driver (screw him), and some suggested using a sewing thread (best way, suggested by Xloader/Ethan). So i decided to used the thread /wire just to see which is the best. At first i was using the sewing thread.. which didnt last long.. its snapped at every 1-2mm of cutting thru the double-sided tape under the logo. Then i decided to used the garden wire which is alot easier... but you need to do slowly, as it will eventually snap also. Pull the thread/wire in up down moving (sawing).


And this is what it might ended up.. still got abit of 'leftover' double sided tape here and there.


Ok eveything is out.

To clean out the sticky part of the double-sided tape on the surface, there is actually a few ways.. for me i just using my finger/nail to scrap it off (suggested by Ethan).. and well it easily come off.. then i steal some nail polish remover from my wife to clean off some stubborn part.. just use a cloth dip some (a little amount will do, dont go too crazy) of it and wipe it fast and quickly use a wet cloth to clean it again... and i also actually did some waxing on it too hehe just to make sure the surface is shinny clean.


Check out the size differences of the CBU and CKD Peugeot emblems. Its comes with pre-stick double-sided stikers


Now using the tape as your guide line, slowly stick the Peugeot wording on the surface lightly..so that if you mess up you still can take it out, and when you are satisfied with the position then press it hard.. press on each letter to make sure it stick properly.. and lastly just wipe it off with a cloth... and its done... all new, shinny and large!


Now the left right looks balanced



As for the old emblem.. hmm well i got some plan for it and will do some DIYing too if i got time.. so for now, it just goin to be kept inside the boot.

Previously on part one, i've gotten the '2D' aluminium type of engine emblem for my pug... and after awhile i found out there is another type which is a '3D' type (plastic base with chrome lion) so today i was lucky enough to get hold one for myself...

Old 2D aluminium emblem


New 3D chrome lion with black plastic base


haha,now whose gona laugh at my engine logo anymore?!


Also on the same time, the long awaited Aluminium Fuel Cap... i was abit surprise that this fuel cap was actually thick and heavy, i tought it was light n thin. Well i guess being a genuine peugeot accessories it had to be done properly? hehe


The original fuel cap


Smart looking right?...


And as for the old 2D engine emblem...... hehehe


Dont waste it...
