One of mine was giving a phantom deflated reading. Took it to my local tyre guru who recalibrated them. Been fine since...

You guys sound like you know what you're doing but perhaps this video may be interesting for you or others. If the link doesn't work search on you tube for salvage rebuilds rcz.

Likely asked before but is it worth putting on a new tensioner, effectively as a service item? I have a 2015 156 with 33k miles. I've just had it serviced using all oe parts and the correct Total oil. Last service before I bought it was 2k miles ago. I'll be changing the oil after 4 or 5k...

Would you not be better off buying another rcz with low miles?

I think the best option is the ineos 0/30 but as importantly change it frequently. I'll go no more than 3 or 4k miles or annually but given I've done 200 in miles since November annually for me.

And?

Thanks for that link. Confirms the 0/30 as well.

Thanks for that. Mine on 33k miles so hopefully be OK on that front. Tho reading some posts on here that's no guarantee!

Except another thread on here says peugeot revised it and ineos 0/30 should be used.... Mine going for oil change next week with that bought... Got me concerned now!

And?

I wasn't looking for an rcz. At all. I was on the hunt for something cheaper to run than my 3.0 subaru. Fiat pandas etc, but somehow the rcz ended up with me. So not really meeting the brief! VAG stuff will never be on the radar. Was a bit tempted by the skoda superb estate but they rust just...

Yeah. That really gets on my..... Nerves! I've had 70 odd cars over the years. Without lying, the worst have been the one BMW and a merc. The Italian and French stuff were mostly very reliable. For me the rcz is an occasional toy. I'm well aware of the potential fragility but in turn I intend...

I'm not sure any rcz, other than the R, will have future values worth much. There's too much fear over the known weaknesses. And in the uk at least, if it ain't German, it's crap. Which we know is rubbish but the general market still seems to fall for it.

Thanks. I'm new to rcz world and have a boggo 156 gt. Always interested to learn of model variants.

Not wishing to hijack your thread but what is the difference between a GT and GT line? Curious!
