Hi there,
Welcome to the Forum, it's a fun place to learn about your car, I'm a new member myself :)
Good luck with your car, expect lots of fun & loads of admiring looks 😁
Thanks Pedro... On consideration I will go the traditional route especially as this engine seems so sensitive to oil grade & quality. If the dipstick method does not clean out all contaminants then there's no point doing it this way. I started using this method on my old car as I has a problem...
No I don't plan to use an engine flush but on consideration I think I will be going the traditional route of draining from the sump 👍
I don't plan to mix grades, I'm just opting to use the 5w-30 Total 👍
OK so my service kit arrived today including Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5w-30 oil.
Anxious to get all the filters changed but in particular the oil & oil filter as I've just bought my RCZ and don't know if the correct oil was used last service. I'll check the plugs as well, see what state they are...
There's no 'fault' as such... Its just annoying to not be able to turn the engine off by just 1 position (leaving it on accessories) and have the music continue. I understand you would then be in Eco mode and would get the normal 'Economy Mode Active' after a period of time 👍
I could do this on...
Enjoyed reading this thread... glad you got to the bottom of your problems 👍 :cool:
I've had similar on my previous car re the camshaft sensor. I replaced the cam & crank sensors together once & eliminated several issues (codes). Easy job, sensors cost very little and it was a good way to...
Sorry to hear that mate 🙁 Shitty thing to have happened but at least you traced him and his insurance will cover 👍
Hopefully you'll get your RCZ back good as new 😀
Apologies if this has been covered before (I searched and could not find it) 😊
When I'm connected to Bluetooth from my phone to my RCZ listening to music and I turn off the engine by turning the key just one position leaving it in the accessories position it turns off the stereo completely...
Are the NGK ones the best ones to get? Just bought my RCZ and like with any car I buy I do a full & complete service (including usual oil & filters, plugs, brake fluid, coolant & power steering fluid) because I don't know exactly what has been done on previous services even though the service...
Anybody got any experience using the Autoglym Polar range for wash/pre-wash? Range consists of 3 products:
- Polar Blast (snow foam pre-wash)
- Polar Wash (spray on contact wash)
- Polar Seal (spray on protection)
All 3 products applied directly to the car with a pressure washer & snow foam...
Great job... fantastic looking car 👍
Only got my RCZ last week 😀 Tomorrow is wash, clay, compound, polish & wax day. I'll treat the leather inside too :cool: Can't wait to see the final result 😊
Gear change is silky smooth right through the gears so no issues at all. Clutch is considerably lighter than my HDi 406 Coupe but I've adjusted already 😀
Plan on doing the same myself. I've ordered a full set of filters and Total Quartz Ineo oil so I'll get that done soon as they are delivered. Like yourself I prefer to do these when I buy a new car so I know they are done & done right with the correct materials 👍
Will follow on with coolant &...
I'll take your guidance on this and do likewise 👍 Need to get myself a low profile trolley jack... my current pair are standard and they only barely fit under my 406 Coupe so I recon I've no chance with the RCZ 😂
