mine was purchased 2 months back. right after i had to change timing as there was an error code, then ran probably 10kms, major leak (see my other threads), to see its turbo leak, also heat seals , gasket had to be replaced. i think i spent over $3000 already and its not worth it. be very...

yup thats me, spent over $3000 in repairs already such as timing, turbo line etc etc. its few inches away from beign a lemon.

Give it another few months. These cars are good looking but extremely unreliable. Too delicate for every day use

So with just weeks of ownership of my RCZ 2011, it's been on tow trucks , mechanics than me actually driving it. Lol. So week ago I noticed mysterious oil puddles after changing timing chain. And after 2-3 towing the car from garage to garage , one guy identified that it's some old oil being...

I'm having the same issue right now

Well said my mate. I had over 20 cars in my life and nothing more unreliable like a RCZ. I really regret my purchase and my advice to others who are planning to get one is that unless you really are in love with the design element and willing to spend $300 per month for repairs in average, then...

Update - sent back to the mechanic today and he says that rocker cover, tensioner is dry (all areas they laid hands on when they did the timing belt chain). And now they say the leak is seen at front of the engine, probably under heat exchange or turbo area. i didnt see such a huge spill before...

I did ring them, and then said oh probably it was there from beginning. Lol. There are puddles of oil everywhere I park this. I'm worried if USA will try to bring democracy after seeing all this heaps of oil

I had it for few weeks, and for the amounts of tiny and major issues I faced, I feel it's not a reliable daily runner

this is today morning. And checked the dipstick and oil level is fine

Deff it's engine oil

Buty question is how the oil sump has enough oil yet

Ooh those things bothers me as I'm worried it will lead to something big

I am a newbie in rcz which is a petrol 1.6 of 2011 Auto. Few days ago I replaced my timing chain as well as a oil change (service ) Saturday I noticed a "puddle" of oil on the floor and today morning I noticed another big puddle. The dash says oil level is correct but Im sure it's not...
