    Motor oil

    ? Actually I told the garage straight away but have been messed around, gaslit, had rocker gasket replaced and garage hasn’t done what it was supposed to but caused other issues back and forth without inspecting the oil filter and housing like I asked for. So I an takung it elsewhere. I value...

    Motor oil

    Do you think I don’t check my oil?! Seriously. 🤣🥹Yes I’m obsessed with checking the oil weekly and coolant and everything visually obvious on a almost daily basis. I know the RCZ guzzles oil. No problem. However when oil is dripping out thats NOT ok! My RCZ is 13 years old. I only do 2,000...

    Motor oil

    That’s what I’m wondering. I think the drips are coming from there. I also think there’s another slow seepage leak from somewhere at the back of the rocker cover

    Motor oil

    I know but no there shouldn’t be a constant drip beneath the oil filter housing for months after a service!

    Motor oil

    So a garage screwed up my car by doing a full service. They put in Ow30 and immediately I noticed the engine sounded different but not in a good way. And its got a leak from under the oil filter. Wasn’t there before. I could cry. I had my RCZ running beautifully, smooth as silk and a pretty...

    Air conditioner / Water temperature

    It’s probably a good idea to check your thermostat isn’t faulty if your fan isn’t working either. But usually that would show a fault code in the diagnostic. Air conditioning temperature sensor (some call it the ac sensor switch) is also a possible issue. But most problems are usually actually...

    True. Most people assume that buying a second hand car from a sales garage is ‘safer’ because they get a standard 3 month warranty but won’t be honoured if anything does go wrong and they try to wangle out of their after sales warranty obligations. most sales garages just buy in cheap cars at...

    How to Remove/Replace Window

    So it looks like I’m gonna have to get the door panel off, remove and replace the regulator myself following the steps shown at the beginning of this thread. Gulp. I can do this, I can do this … may the force be with me. I will need several fags 10 coffees and 2 kitkats before I attempt to...

    RCZ THP200 transmission oil change.

    Thanks yes it’s really expensive but one thing I’ve learned to my cost in the past is don’t scrimp on oil and fluids, £100 well spent saves on thousands in repairs later down the line 🤣😟🥹 Yep Pedro has been so helpful on many things and it’s nice to find a forum user local to me 👍

    Puddle lights

    Oooh nice! I found similar on Ali Express last night. Looks like Ali Express is the place for our courtesy puddle lights. I’ve ordered a pair. I’ll let you know how they work out.

    Thanks Pedro that’d be great if you can give me his name/contact details. I am just so weary of letting any garage work on my car as None if them seem to know anything about the RCZ or its engine. My niece’s new boyfriend is a mechanic with his own garage in Deeside and he said he can do the...

    RCZ THP200 transmission oil change.

    I’ve ordered Red Line 75-80 GL4 pretty expensive but hopefully worth it.

    RCZ THP200 transmission oil change.

    Can anyone confirm which gearbox oil for RCZ THP 156 is it 75/80 GL4 or 75/ 90. GL4? Sorry to raise an old thread I’ve searched loads of threads but can’t find recommended gearbox oil (manual transmission) for the RCZ THP 156 most replies seem to be about the 200. I want to put in RED LINE...

    Air conditioner / Water temperature

    I’m not an expert but honestly you should get that fan checked out asap because your fan should come on to cool the engine down and it’s very audible so you can usually hear it after you switch the engine off the fan will stay on for a few mins to cool engine down. If your fan isn’t working then...

    Air conditioner / Water temperature

    Hi Pedro, how much did the thermostat and housing cost? Is it something that’s easy to fit myself or did you get a garage to do it? I’m close by you on the Wirral. My air con hasn’t worked for 2 years and is blowing warm, no pressure but I think it’s either the Air conditioning pressure sensor...

    Newbie looking for an R

    Alas it is a pity that some people don’t expect to have to pay anything to keep a car running well for long term. I see it this way: I’d rather spend £500 replacing parts and annual maintenance of an RCZ than on a boring run of the mill SUV or Corsas 🤣 I even clean and lubricate the rubber seals...

    With any make of car they all have their specific issues which differs slightly depending on the model. I agree that Peugeots with Puretech engines are to be avoided. But RCZ does not have that engine and is not actually assembled and produced by Peugeot. It was made in the same Austrian factory...

    Newbie looking for an R

    If your drivers window is intermittent and its making a squeaking noise like scraping or grinding or anything else like that try spraying some silicone spray lubricant to reduce friction (£8 Screwfix or Toolstation) inside the rubber seals along bottom of window and at both edges where the...
