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

    Try searching for a street in another country... Usually, if a street doesn't appear, it's because it doesn't exist on your NG4 maps with that exact name, sometimes because the article is missing, like "l'eglise" instead "eglise."

    New owner here - hope I got a good one!

    Blue smoke after idling is due to the valve stem seals or piston rings. To distinguish one from the other, a compression test would be necessary. If compression is low the problem is in the rings. When the engine is idling, the vacuum is strong inside the cylinder, and this causes it to suck in...

    From RD5 to RT6 or NG4

    There are millions of Peugeot and Citroen cars with the same equipment and screen you have, and there are also many Android solutions on the market available to replace it. Installing an NG4 system means installing a 15-year-old system. Plus, your car isn't ready for it. The car's overall...

    Radiator Cap changed level went up?

    I bought this one last year and it works well, for the THP engine https://www.amazon.co.uk/febi-bilstein-37600-radiator-expansion/dp/B00CEFCKBQ/ref=sr_1_1

    Radiator Cap changed level went up?

    If the cap is defective, it may not hold pressure and steam bubbles may form, causing the level to rise. The pressure causes the refrigerant to boil at a higher temperature. It is the center of the cap that makes the seal, check that it has the O-ring.

    Upgrading front suspension

    Changing parts to see if the noise goes away without knowing where it's coming from isn't a good idea. An expert should analyze where the noise is coming from. Tests can be done to determine if the shock absorbers are good. The difference with the HDi is significant—almost 100 kg of...

    Is it safe to change the Cam Chain Tensioner?

    On top of the engine, above the tensioner, there is a lifting eye, which you can use to pry with a bar and the wrench and tighten much more hard. But not excessively either, the engine block is aluminum.

    P0016 but eml not on!

    The main reason to use less viscosity oil is to reduce fuel consumption, not better lubrication and the reduction in consumption is ridiculous, read article https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/press/press-releases/motor-oil-without-oil.html I have already done 40000 km with 5W40, before with 0W30...

    P0016 but eml not on!

    I've been using Total Quartz 9000 5W 40 for years. The engine runs smoother and quieter, and it consumes less oil than with 0W 30. I changed the tensioner because it sometimes rattle a little. If it didn't rattle for you, I wouldn't change it. I bought the tensioner from Autodoc, and it hasn't...

    P0016 but eml not on!

    Welcome! If the fault doesn't recur, the EML will turn off after a certain time. Above all, change the oil often, as this can also cause the P0016 fault. If the oil on the dipstick is dark and smells burnt, change it immediately. Also, change the filter.

    2016 RCZ Burning Oil? Constant Top-Ups Every 1,000 Miles + Burning Smell

    The THP engine is prone to consuming some oil but the most worrying thing about what you explain is the smell of oil when stopping which usually indicates major problems with the tightness of the pistons or valve seals. A compression test of all 4 cylinders would have to be done, if compression...

    Front Nearside Suspension Knocking, 2010 RCZ Hdi

    Well, you'd also have to look for cracks in the bodywork near those top mounts or where the suspension arms are attached.

    How is boost pressure not lost through the sound system resonator

    I don't want that either. The quieter the better, and I find my RCZ to be quite quiet, a pleasure on long drives. Noise also tires you out.

    How is boost pressure not lost through the sound system resonator

    My car has a piece of fabric held in place with plastic rivets and no holes. Removing the rivets reveals an elongated plastic cover, and inside is the cabin air filter. I have no idea what that U-shaped tube does.

    P2263 Fault - 1.6thp 2008r

    I also had P2263 a while back, and it was finally resolved by cleaning a small filter at the end of a tube on the 156 HP that is hidden behind the rocker cover. The turbo solenoid valve has three tubes: one goes to the vacuum pump, another to the turbo wastegate membrane, and the third goes to...
