For me it is very likely that the problem is the high pressure fuel pump. There is a cheap system to find out: - Purchase an ELM327 Bluetooth ODBII connector. - Install and run the Torque application on your phone with the connector on the ODBII port - Monitor the fuel rail pressure at cold...

I had that pipe cracked for a while and the car ran fine. I think that even if it were removed, those problems you describe would not appear. You can buy the pipe for the RCZ in several places, including ebay and aliexpress, even in various colors

I removed it and reinstalled myself. Total cost €110, €90 that the guy, here in spain, who fixes them charged me, and €20 for transports, the car was stopped for about 10 days. Removing the battery is no problem, you disconnect the positive, move the connections block to the right, swing and...

The wiring should be carefully checked, especially the one that reaches the alternator. Unfortunately, some garages currently go straight to changing parts instead of seriously analyzing the problems.

And new shock absorbers can improve comfort by reducing the amplitude of the oscillation and also improve handling. Cars after 10 years usually have quite worn out shock absorbers.

If you press the brake repeatedly and quickly at the end it gets hard because you don't let the pistons go back, but probably the wheels were braked but skidding.

The difference will be small using 18 instead of 19. The suspension will continue to be hard, it is a sports car ! In addition, driving in curves will worsen a bit.

If you are driving at speed and there is a lot of water on the ground, aquaplaning can occur, which means that the tire cannot evacuate all the water and the tire steps over the water, thus losing all of its traction and braking capacity. Tire wear has a very big influence on this, if they...

In my country they are not legal and with them the car does not pass the annual technical inspection, even the police can fine you for being a non-approved modification. I suppose it will be similar in other EU countries.

Since I changed the tensioner on my THP 156Hp the chain never rattle, not even when cold start

You welcome. I think the car in the video is a Citroen C5, there may be differences with an RCZ. I have been looking in my RCZ, I have not been able to see the bleeder on the thermostat body but I can see the one on the heating tube, it is where the tube enters the interior of the car, behind...

The first one is hard to see, it is in the thermostat body on the right lateral of the engine and there are many things there, it is better to remove the pipe that goes from the air filter to the turbo. The second, if you do not remove the air filter, as in the video, and the pipe already...

Yes, I also had the same fault code, a guy here in Spain repaired my pump for only €100 and now it works perfectly.

There is probably air in the circuit. The car has 2 taps to bleed the air, they are opened until only liquid and not air comes out, in the attached video at 2:08 and at 2:45 they are shown.

What some users have recently asked here is how to change the xenon headlights for halogen ones, since all xenon replacement parts are very expensive. Halogen bulbs are not difficult to change, it is done inside the hood, there are videos on YouTube.

Cars with xenon have an optic in the headlight, like a magnifying glass. In halogen headlights you can see the bulb perfectly from the front, in xenon headlights you can't. Buy top brand halogen bulbs, Philips or Osram. Nor is the conversion from halogen to xenon legal.

The water should always circulate through the heating radiator, there is no shut-off valve. It could be a bleeding problem, perhaps there is an air pocket. On the water tubes that enter to the interior there is a manual bleed, I think you have to remove the air filter to access it. Did they...

Keep in mind that diesel cars have more and more restrictions for driving inside cities. Furthermore, for me a petrol sports car is more fun than a diesel, stretching the gears to the rev limit is a pleasure and in a diesel that rev limit is so low. The THP engine has less problems if it is...

- Cars with a GPS navigator have the wiring a little different, you will have missing wires. - The screen on the instrument panel is different and larger in cars with GPS navigator, since some of the settings that you now have on the current basic screen go to the instrument panel, and to...
