    Alloys

    This is a topic already discussed so many times in this forum. Changing 19" for 18" will change the hardness little. The truth is that a sports car with its little suspension travel will never have a soft suspension.

    Hand brake cable calibration

    I recently changed the rear brake pads myself and nothing had to be adjusted. Apparently it adjusts itself. But you have to have the tool to move the pistons back.

    Spare wheel

    A 235 width wheel, like that of an RCZ, protrudes, and the boot floor does not lie flat. It protrudes about 20mm.

    Scuff in wing mirror

    I spray painted one of mine and the result was bad The only good solution for me is to dismantle the plastics and take them to a professional. There are two plastic parts, the ring and the housing, after separating the mirror you only have to remove a few torx screws Pull the mirror from...

    Petrol smell in the cabin when accelerating

    Maybe there is a leak in the tank and with acceleration the petrol moves and comes out. Have you noticed if it smells more with a full tank?

    Will these mtec brakes fit?

    According to Service Box there are diesel RCZs with 302 mm front discs and others with 340 mm. The important thing about brakes is that they stop :) I would choose material from a recognized brand such as Brembo or Bosch, I have read bad opinions about the MTEC brand

    What phone holders are you using?

    None, I don't want anything that could distract me. The car already has gps navigator and I also read the messages on the watch

    Clapping sound coming THP156 at first start in the morning/cold start...

    I would change the tensioner, it is not expensive and it is a quick operation. Maybe the tensioner spring has broken, which is the only thing that tightens until the oil pressure rises. When you remove the tensioner, about 100cc of oil will fall out.

    Which do you think looks better? With or without the RCZ decal?

    Without, the original the best

    Manual transmission oil change?

    They told me at an official Peugeot garage that the oil in the manual transmission did not have to be changed throughout the life of the car.

    156 model. Anyone run one without issues?

    I forgot to say that I put 5W40 oil in the 156 HP. I am convinced that the oils in turbo engines degrade a lot and cannot last 30,000 km as the maintenance book says. They also reduce viscosity to save fuel when in reality a less viscous oil lubricates worse. This affects many more engines...

    156 model. Anyone run one without issues?

    I bought my 156 HP with 108,000 km, now it has 138,000 km. At 115,000 the high pressure fuel pump was repaired, I installed it myself and it only cost me €110. I also changed the timing chain tensioner. I think the rocker cover has never been removed, meaning the chain was never changed. The...

    THP156 and CRC GDI Valve Cleaner?

    In a video I saw that you can see the carbon deposits on the valves by putting a borescope through the spark plug hole, .... I think I'll buy one on Aliexpress.

    Code P0016

    It doesn't have to be the timing chain, it could also be that the Vanos system is not working well.

    Car juddering while at certain high speed, what could be the problem?

    I also noticed that vibration at 100-120 km/h as if the engine was jerking. The problem was the balancing of a rear wheel, it disappeared after going to the tyre shop. Furthermore, this vibration can cause the tyre to wear poorly, with saw teeth.

    THP156 and CRC GDI Valve Cleaner?

    On YouTube there are many videos on the subject, on THP engines, such as the RCZ, and on other direct injection engines such as TSI, or Ecoboost. The truth is that with those sprays, looking at the before and after photos, the difference is small, they don't clean much.

    Rear view mirror

    Also, if you use something as a lever, insert the lever just a little because if you insert it too far it can break the adjustment motor. It is best to push the glass from above so that it comes out from below and try to separate it only with your fingers by pulling from below.
