    What parts can be used across the Peugeot range

    There is no fixed rule about that, there are parts that are shared with other more popular models and others that are exclusive to the RCZ. And the interior plastic inside of the front wings are exclusive and on eBay they ask for a lot of money for one. The references are: 7136KQ right side...

    Engine oil

    The photo is from the maintenance book of my 2010 RCZ. What is the meaning of the graph on the left? titled "Viscosity Fields according to the amplitude of ambient temperatures" Depending on the temperature, can more viscous oil be used? In the last two oil changes I have put Quartz 9000 5w40...

    Engine oil

    https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/press/press-releases/motor-oil-without-oil.html The main reason to use less viscosity oil is to reduce fuel consumption, not better lubrication And a lower viscosity than recommended should be avoided, read the article.

    does the diesel variant make any concessions to ride comfort?

    Front brake disc diameter for RCZ: - 156 HP gasoline: 302 mm, would fit inside a 17" rim - 200CV and HDI: 340 mm, the rim must be at least 18" - R : 380 mm, the rim must be at least 19" As you said is a personal taste. The RCZ with 19" and 40 profile tyres doesn't seem hard to me, I've been...

    Hard suspension

    There is no maximum or minimum, but rather a recommended pressure, which is 2.4 bar on the front axle, which is 35 psi. Low profile tires are much more delicate when faced with potholes and stones, in the last 35 years I have blown out 4 tires for these reasons, fortunately without accidents...

    does the diesel variant make any concessions to ride comfort?

    A sports car has a short suspension travel and the suspension must be hard, otherwise it would reach the end of the travel very easily. Diesel is not softer. For a soft suspension a sports car is not the right choice. The HDi weighs 95kg more than the 156 HP petrol one, a weight that is...

    Judging the width.Cant see the bonnet.

    You get used to it quickly, especially if you have front distance sensors like my car. They have good lateral sensitivity

    HELP - Over 1.500€ down the drain problem still not solved

    If your car is a 156 HP, where the arrow,it has a small filter at the end of a tube, held in a cavity back the distribution cover, it is a bit rare, it looks like a piece of rubber but it is a filter, you can immerse it in acetone to degrease it or make a hole to unclog it. That resolved P2263...

    RCZ R front discs and calipers

    Yes, I have seen mechanics recommend putting copper grease on the back of the pads. There are also highly carbonized discs that are said to reduce noise.

    Engine oil filter pressure warning !

    In the mechanical workshop they usually have a pressure gauge that is inserted in the sensor location. Then they can see if the pressure is correct and then what is failing is the sensor, or there is a problem with the pump or solenoid valve. The pressure varies depending on the revolutions.

    2015 RCZ R, 40,000 mileage, clutch issue?

    I don't think the clutch can brake the car. Maybe a brake caliper piston is stuck a little. The R has multi-piston front brakes. You can also replace the brake fluid, it should be changed every 2 years.

    Just realised RCZ has two explosive rams for want of better words that activate if you hit anything.Unfortunately a bird strike could.

    I think there is an accelerometer behind the front badge and a sensor with a cable behind the bumper that triggers that protection. Keep in mind that disabling security elements is a reason to fail the annual technical review, if they discover it.

    THP 156 new wheels and tyres needed

    It is usually much cheaper to refurbish them than to buy new rims.

    Rcz

    It would be necessary to look at it from below in an elevator, and forcing with a lever see if there is movement in any bushing or ball joint, or perhaps something is broken. Surely only with the jack up you can't apply enough force, but surely there is something that moves when accelerating...
