What’s the matter with Peugeot 408 1.6T burning oil？ Can you get it if you drop 30,000？
[Rider Toutiao – Rider Number – Car News] [408 1.6T version runs 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers to burn oil? Can I still buy this?]
Some riders mentioned listening to friends of friends who specialize in law: Dongfeng Peugeot 408 1.6T runs 7-80,000 kilometers to burn oil, and many thousand kilometers burn close to a liter of oil.
It seems that this news also affected the rider’s purchase confidence, query the official website that 408 360THP tenth anniversary version of the official guide price of 137,900 yuan, according to the description of the rider straight down 30,000, open fares fell to 109,700 yuan, purchase tax about 9708 yuan, plus insurance and miscellaneous fees, 130,000 will definitely be able to land, and the basic decoration is almost complete, this price can be said to be a little cost-effective.
About the engine driving 7-80,000 km oil consumption is large, talk about it with your own experience. If what the friend of this friend said is true, then this problem may not need to be worried, because driving to this mileage before the oil consumption is large, most likely because of improper maintenance.
Hearing this conclusion, some 408 owners may say: I have been maintaining at the 4S shop, which will be explained later.
Besides, it consumes 1L of oil for every 1000 kilometers. If this oil consumption is according to the previous Volkswagen, it is a lot of oil burning! Hahaha…
No kidding, the consumption of 1L oil for 1000 kilometers should not be caused by damage to the valve oil seal, otherwise the oil consumption will be greater. This kind of oil consumption is often related to two aspects:
1. Crankcase forced ventilation system – Regarding crankcase forced ventilation, some models are not designed well, and new cars may have problems such as large oil consumption or increased oil. According to the reality mentioned by the rider, it cannot be said that there are no problems in this link, but the probability is not high;
2. Piston ring stuck – Regarding piston ring stuck, it is actually very simple. Basically, the piston ring is stuck due to carbon deposition. After the piston ring is stuck, the oil scraping effect will decrease, and more lubricating oil may participate in combustion, resulting in excessive oil consumption.
The reasons for carbon deposition are related to improper maintenance, such as poor oil quality, such as long maintenance cycle and other reasons. This also answers the questions of some car owners who "keep going to the 4S store and say that I have improper maintenance".
Remember that when the car was repaired, the French car had a maintenance cycle of 15,000 kilometers earlier, and Total’s lubricating oil should have been used at that time.
Here are two more points: according to the old three of the 5-year cycle at that time, a vehicle maintained once every 5000 kilometers must be in better condition than a car maintained once every 15,000 kilometers by the French system, especially the sound of the engine running better. In addition, the author did not look at Total oil at that time, and preferred to use other brands of oil. For example, the author’s old Fukang, who drove more than 230,000 kilometers when he was shot, because the express report was scrapped, so he maintained it every 10,000 kilometers. The oil consumption is basically from the upper limit to the lower limit, and the Fukang valve cover also leaks oil, and the leakage is not slight. Here it is also recommended that French owners who feel that the oil consumption is large see if the engine leaks oil.
Comprehensive comments:
If it is because after driving 7-80,000 kilometers, every 1000 kilometers consumes 1L of oil, the rider does not have to worry. After the vehicle starts, it can be maintained by itself, choose higher quality oil, and perform a shorter maintenance cycle.
If you are worried that self-maintenance will result in the loss of the powertrain warranty, then check the 4S shop to see if there is a better oil option. If not, put it in 5000 kilometers/half a year for maintenance, which may avoid the problem of high oil consumption in the future.
