Hi there and thank you for your reply, just to clarify then, even though the car has not been used due to its flat battery which incidentally I have tried to charge but remains at 9.5 V hence the reason for replacing the battery so there is not enough charge in it to turn the engine over, but...

Hi there thanks for the information the old battery is flat so the car won’t start any way, so am I to assume all the modules will be well into a sleep mode as I won’t be able to start it up switch it off and then leave it for 3 minutes plus before changing the battery , also could you explain...

Hi there thanks for the information, I’m not sure what you meant though, about leaving one of the windows down in case it decides to close only I’ve read some were that the windows sometimes need resetting when the battery has been disconnected.

Hi all I have a Peugeot RCZ 2013 1.6 156 hp petrol. Unfortunately it’s time for a new battery it looks a bit fiddly, but does anybody know if I will experience any problems when replacing the battery i.e. will I have to reset anything windows, alarm Radio code etc. I was considering using jump...

Thanks for the info oil change all done.

Hi all can anyone tell me what the torque wrench setting is for the sump plug on a RCZ1.6 2013 GT THP 156 115KW model.

That’s quite an eye-opening video and the thing is we can and do Get some cold winters in this country And as you say I think the thicker oil is not going to get round to those all-important parts as quick and cause damage on those cold morning starts.

I Thanks flanners and everyone else for a their input My local Peugeot dealer wanted nearly £20 for an oil filter So £8.69 for the same genuine article on eBay is a no brainer

Just to say thank you to everyone who has commented with all help and information to my post regarding the oil and filter on my RCZ.cheers fisherman.

Is there a link to the eBay shop you use to get genuine Oil filters from as some of the sites say they are genuine original equipment but they’re not.

Hi plasma I fully understand where you’re coming from as each oil manufacturer will produce a grade of oil for all makes of cars, But certain manufacturers will pair up with certain car manufacturers To endorse their oils I’ve used Castro MagneTec over the years In quite a few different cars...

Regarding oil has anyone tried CASTROL MAGNATEC 0W-30 C2 as an alternative to the recommended TOTAL INEO FIRST 0W-30 C1 as I wondered would it help with the timing chain wear problems, as the Castrol MagneTec Suggests that it clings to all the surfaces after the oil has drained down overnight...

With regards to oil filters for RCZ 156 THP 1.6 petrol, is it best practice to purchase a genuine oil filter from Peugeot.or can anyone recommend a good quality make of pattern oil filter, that is off equally good quality.
