    Timing chain replacement

    Try changing just the tensioner, the rattle will probably disappear at a much lower cost.

    Rear Spoiler Issues Still

    I once put my phone on the rear window and made a video, I saw how it rose and fell again depending on the speed.

    Misfire on my 2011 RCZ 1.6 GT THP (156 BHP)

    It's not difficult, I did it. You have to remove the pipes that go to and return from the air filter. Better also remove the battery. To remove the fuel inlet tube you just have to press on the plastic clip, not pry it out like they do in some videos! Make sure no dirt gets into the fuel tubes...

    Missfire

    I continue to insist on the high pressure fuel pump. A diagnostic device should be connected to the ODB2 port and see what the fuel pressure does when these missfiring occur. If there were problems with the head gasket you would have an ugly foam under the oil filler cap.

    Missfire

    If you have missfiring with cold starting, the problem is probably in the high pressure fuel pump. If in the list of fault codes, apart from the missfirings, P0087 appears, then it is definitely the pump.

    The first thing to check is the automatic gearbox oil.

    Pink dust on the R engine

    The turbo should not be insulated as it will work even hotter, shortening its life and increasing the risk of fire. The original heat shield is to minimize burns if you put your hand in, it is not insulation.

    Car reader

    You only need a ELM327 ODB2 bluetooth connector, available on Amazon, and a free app on your mobile device like Torque. You will be able to read and clear the fault codes. Total cost < €10

    Suggestions to safely increase power

    The safest thing is to recover the power that will surely have been lost over time, if it has gasoline engine by cleaning the intake valves. If it has high mileage also checking the compression of the cylinders

    Another newbie

    I agree ! And if the timing chain rattles when cold, changing only the tensioner can probably improve it. Many chain changes could have been avoided by changing just the tensioner, which is usually the main culprit.

    GUIDE: Updating the firmware, maps and installing risk areas (RADARs) on NG4

    If you still have a USB or SD memory connected, disconnect it! It could be that the memory has errors and NG4 is very sensitive to that. It happened to me, a USB memory with errors caused multiple hard resets, losing all configurations. You could verify and correct errors by connecting it to...

    PUG1OFF Light Weight Flywheel

    Yes, inertia is necessary, a combustion engine is not an electric motor, it is propelled by explosion strokes. The flywheel is also necessary for a stable idle and for these shocks to not affect the transmission. The energy accumulated by the flywheel is not lost during acceleration when...
