Thanks

[@Antsummerfield83]

Thanks for your video, I have just purchased a 308 gt line 1.5 bluehdi and I am looking to buy some lowering springs and for them so your video has helped me to know what I’m up against as I’ve not worked on a 308 before. I was considering H&R springs as the eibach springs said 25 rear and 30 front so I was a little put off by that but you state 30 front and rear? I know the H&R are 30 front and back.

[@vmaxviking]

Glad to help. 😀😀😀😀

[@kamilwojcik3951]

Great video, can you explain how did you unmount black foam at 9:55 covering strut mounting, put something under it and pick it up? or just pull up? is there any plastic mounting kit or something because this black foam is holding very tight.

[@vmaxviking]

Hey Kamil. The foam i just pull up, mine was not stuck.

[@Chris-bv5db]

Great video bud, has helped me with mine, I’ve got a GT Line in white with a glass roof, loved it so much I got the majorette gti models bluetacked to the dashboard I have a problem tho, can’t get a Haynes manual and need to know the torque for the front top strut mount bolts, can’t find an answer anywhere, could you please share this knowledge with me :) I’ve destroyed 1 new mount and the other is on the brink of stripping the threads from over-tightening I also would like to upgrade to poly-bushings and coilovers, but have just replaced the standard suspension in the last 6 months so will get a little use from them first

[@vmaxviking]

Thanks Chris. Yes its realy nice cars, runs great. Coilsovers are a great upgrade, the stock shoks are shit. Mine had big improv just with stiffer and lower springs. But the full set is top dollar. The 3 nuts in the top are 8mm. The spects says around 30 Nm. But its a feel for me. Dont power tight them, No need to.

[@Chris-bv5db]

@@vmaxviking thankyou so much, I’ve been having trouble getting that information, I love this car and I plan on doing a lot of upgrading in parts, could really use a Haynes manual for it but I’m having trouble getting that too lol 5 years old, all bushings are splitting, I’ve also heard of reinforcing the engine head, but that’s an expensive objective, again thankyou very much, take care of yourself :)

[@Chris-bv5db]

Hey again, had an issue with they bolts, tried torquing it to 30Nm but the bolt snapped, shows that the OEM top strut mounts are better, the aftermarket ones stripped the thread in the mount, the original ones snapped the bolt, I’m having no luck with this car, recently found out that the anti roll bar bushes aren’t simple to change, the bar comes with the bracket fixed by a metal plate underneath, I look forward to the release of ‘Any’ uprated parts for this car :)

[@vmaxviking]

@@Chris-bv5db hey Chris. Sorry that you are unluckey with the car. Like i whrote when you thigt the nut ore bolt its a feeling in your hand. I only use a thorqe wrensh on my wheel and in the engine. Yes some parts is a paine to replace on some cars. But back in the day some 20 years ago things was alot more complicatet to replace. Nice to here from you.

[@naon6373]

Hi. It was very useful,thank you! Can I ask you a question? It appears in about 19min and 24sec of this video. Where do you set the trolly jack and jack stand?

[@vmaxviking]

Hi. I always use 2 wooden planks that i drive the car up on, this gives you better view under the car, then i have a small wooden plank 30x15 cm that i use for my trolly jack, you can lift the car on the panel under the door, use the wooden plank to even the load of the car, when you lift the car there you also lift the rear wheel. Alternative you can lift the car on the forwad controlarm, that is also were i place the jack stand. But be careful.

[@naon6373]

Hi.Thank you for your advice.I’ll try that. I'll keep it in mind.

Hey man can you tell me what rear brakes you need for that car? Thanks.

[@vmaxviking]

Hallo, S Simpson, i have made a list of the parts for you in the description below. Happy new year to you.

[@alvinmwangi]

U said the front shocks are very small and they tend to fail, could u clarify what u meant by someone should get a suspension kit? Aftermarket kits or is it an option from Peugeot itself?

[@vmaxviking]

Thanks for the comment, Yes like i said, the shocks are very skinny, that meens that they will fail after som time, if you buy a Bilstein sub kit the car wil handel sooooooo mutch better.. The origanel shocks are made to fail in my opion... Hope it makes sens..

[@alvinmwangi]

When fitting new front spring , does it matter which way they go on , i can't tell which end is the top or bottom , also i assume there is no left or right spring , it can go on either side ?

If you have writing on the spring, then mont it so you can reed the text. The springs are the same left as right. 😊😊

[@pashaxodessa]

How’s the fuel consumption ? City and highway?

[@vmaxviking]

In average it does around 20 km per liter diesel. Haven done a higeway run from Hamburg to the Danish border, speed around 170-190 kmp, there it did 18 km per liter. Then i have don a long run with around 80-90 kmp, that gives around 26-28 km per liter.

[@kimandersen8515]

@@vmaxviking ja det kan jeg da godt se nu 🙄 men tak for svar. Hvordan er den at køre i bag efter? For syntes jeg har oplevet på andre biler, at de bliver meget hårde / hopper hen over vejen.

[@vmaxviking]

@@kimandersen8515 Den blev lidt mere fast i det, en forbedring syntes jeg. Problemet er at standard støddæmper og fjeder er totalt skrald. De er okay hvis man bare tøffer afsted og ikke forlanger at have kontrol over undervognen. Skal du have det er det nye støddæmper og fjeder. Den bliver naturligvis mere hård at køre i, men man kan ikke få alt. Har solgt den for kort tid siden og har købt en Mercedes i stedet for, den har AMG undervogn, men syntes den var for høj, den har jeg også en video med på kanalen.

Hi, you know the bearing I’ve noticed it goes thin then thick, does the thick part of the bearing sit where the coil spring ends as I’m doing my suspension currently and noticed on the old springs the coil ends in a different place to the new 1s so I need to know 100% where the thick part of that bearing should be sitting. Thank you

[@vmaxviking]

Hey, its some time now sins i have done this, but as i remember when you put the spring on the bottom gide plate, then the top bering also has a gide plate that can only sit in one place, im not 100% on this, but the way the top bering is mountet on the body, also give you the way its shoud sit. Hope it helps. And remember to mark it up with a marker another time. 😉😉

[@Antsummerfield83]

@@vmaxvikingI was going to mark it up but totally forgot, I just don’t no if I need to position it the same as it was or different because now my new spring coil ends to the front where as the old 1 was to the back. So with that said do I need to move the top black thick part to where it was previous or have I done the right thing and moved it to the front where the coil ends. Or does it matter at all? Thank you for your help. My shocks are currently of the car and new springs on. I’d like to rectify this if I need to before i install the shocks on the car tomorrow

[@Antsummerfield83]

@@vmaxviking also there is no gide plate for the top the black plastic bearing can sit in any position. Which is why I’m confused as my new spring is sitting different (coil ends different place than before) so I was thinking the black bearing should sit in a different position

[@vmaxviking]

@@Antsummerfield83 If i was in your naborhood i could have popd by you and help to fix it, but im here in Denmark, so its not easy over this platform, you have to try your way forwad to see if its sits right. Next time remember to mark it or take some photos, and last tip, only make one side a time, then you can allways have a look at the side you havent done yet. let me know how it goes. 😀😀😀😀

A little too many issues in my opinion. I have a 2007 honda jazz, gd1, was thinking about this peugeot but the SW version, now idk. It seems a little unreliable as my little honda has done 140k km since 2007 (1 owner car) and i have only replaced the alternstor on it, and some suspension bushings(bad roads where i live), only issue on it is rust, thats why i need s new car...

[@vmaxviking]

In all cars there are some problems, Hondas are very reliable in general, the things you have replacede on your Honda are still going in The 308, The front shoks on the 308 are from the factroy to small and bad. In general the 308 mk2 is a good solid car. But not with out faults, like all other cars. Happy new year to you.

[@christiann7320]

@@vmaxviking not saying the 308 is a bad car at all! It looks very cool, it's just, I don't need all the features one has, and I'd probably be just as happy with a cheaper car. Honda may be reliable, but the rust is just as bad as having an unreliable car. Happy holidays and a great new year to you too!! (
