Hello,
Just this week purchased my first RCZ, a 1.6 THP (156) model having previously had the last (I've had 4) of my 406 Coupe's for 17 years.
Have had my eye on the RCZ for a while now and decided now was the time to make the jump for many reasons.
Got a good 'Covid-19' deal and I'm delighted with the car.
Couple of quick questions somebody might know offhand before I start delving too deeply into the forums:
- The oil I should be using (exact brand & type). I've heard 4.25L of 0w-30 or 5w-30 fully synth?
- Service interval 20k miles? Is an oil & filter change required mid service?
- Is there an external fuel filter that needs replacing at a predetermined service interval for my car?
- Is the timing chain issue confined to the 200bhp model or is the 156bhp model affected as well? I've heard the risk of developing a rattling/loose chain is greatly multiplied by not keeping the oil level fully topped up at all times?
- Do members here use Peugeot Planet (PP2000) software, or something else, to diagnose errors on the car?
Appreciate any advice and delighted to be part of this forum. I was an active member on the 406 Coupe Club for many a long year.
