    yet another aftermarket head unit question

    A radio station's transmitting antenna is usually not located in its studios, but somewhere separate from the urban area where it covers a larger area. Perhaps your car has a faulty antenna, a module hidden by the headliner, or perhaps the cable has become disconnected in the rear of the head unit.

    Seat change from cloth manual to leather fully electric

    The seats have a module that needs to be configured, but I don't know how to do it or if that will solve your problem. Also, your car doesn't have side mirrors with position sensors like those with memory seats, which also have different wiring harness

    Diesel Clutch Change

    Starting in the mid-1980s, Peugeots began to be highly protected against corrosion. I owned a 1988 205 GTI for 20 years and never saw a trace of rust. Although I live in a less humid place than the UK The complete opposite of the Alfa Romeo 33 of that era.

    Advice Please

    Open the oil filler cap and look at the color of the oil inside with a flashlight, it should be a light-medium caramel color, run away if it looks very dark or black!

    Is my timing chain about to let go or is there something simpler I can do?

    There's probably something wrong with the variable valve timing (VANOS). Vanos makes one or both camshafts rotate some degrees from their initial position, according to the ECU maps. This error occurs when the camshaft isn't positioned where expected. It could be a problem with the VANOS...

    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    I was wrong, the window motor is exclusive to the RCZ. I ended up getting a new one on eBay, an original part made in 2024! It's finally fixed and working properly :)

    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    Thanks but I already tried calibrating it, but it was impossible because it barely worked. The garage is waiting for a new motor to arrive; they say the old one is broken. The part costs €417. It seems that it can still be easily obtained since the Peugeot 508 uses the same motor. Hopefully...

    Air Conditioning Leaking

    There are now electronic gas detectors with a rod that are much more effective than using fluorescent liquid. The important thing is to go to an air conditioning specialist who can find the leak. In workshops without the proper equipment they only refill the gas. If it's a leak in the...

    Is my timing chain about to let go or is there something simpler I can do?

    My chain has 146,000 km and has never been changed; it's the original one. At approximately 110,000 km, I changed the tensioner because a rattling noise could sometimes be heard within a few minutes of a cold start. The noise disappeared after changing the tensioner. The main cause of timing...

    Is my timing chain about to let go or is there something simpler I can do?

    Try changing just the tensioner. I did it 40,000 km ago and never heard the knocking noise again when cold. The engine now has 146,000 km. You might be pleasantly surprised. ...and above all, change the oil every 10,000 km or 6,000 miles.

    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    My driver's window (left side) lowers all the way with rapid jerks when I open the door. Even when it's all the way down, the jerks can still be heard. When I close the door, it stops, and I can only raise it slowly because it also jerks and only works in the first position of the switch. If I...

    Fuel Pressure

    When you turn the key without starting the engine, the pressure in the rail must rise to 5 bar and this pressure is provided by the fuel tank pump. When the engine is started, the pressure must always remain above 50 bar, although it can fluctuate but not fall below 50. This pressure is...

    Battery change

    I have disconnected and reconnected the battery many times and the only thing I have to do afterwards is set date and time on the clock. But I have always made sure to have a window down in case it decides to close.

    Brand new to The RCZ world

    Both can be due to the misfire of cylinder 4, it does not have to be a problem with the chain. Fix that misfire first, coil, spark plug, injector, carefully examine cables and connectors to make sure they do not have a missing or bent pin.

    Brand new to The RCZ world

    Is there foam on the back of the oil filler cap? If it is true the cylinder head gasket is probably damaged.

    HDi Woes

    If the car has been driven mostly on short journeys at low power, it will probably have a lot of soot in the engine and this will not be solved with magic additives. Parts will have to be disassembled and cleaned.
