I went directly to the local Peugeot garage and during the 10 minutes drive, I had the engine fault service needed lite and...

The fuses box is near the battery. F4 = Daytime running lamps = 20A With a mini fuse tap you can take the +12v. I used a 7.5A fuse for the led strips on the top holes On the bottom place the original 20A. For the chassis ground, there is a nice bolt under the air intake plastic box. Just...

This is my new 3rd brake light (first two pictures with the flash): 3M tape was not used, it fits perfectly in the gap between the headliner and the glass :) The original 3rd brake light is off now, I had some not working LEDs. And this is on the headlights: The led strips are just...

Just a picture of what I did this week, just the front ones for now because, of course, when I start something, it starts raining :mad: ! Washed, removed, cleaned with BBQ cleaner, cleaned again with brake cleaner, sanded with Scotch-Brite pads, cleaned again, and painted (3 times) with...

Regarding the carbon buildup, the motor is direct injection, this means the injectors are after the intake valves and the sprayed petrol cannot clean them. Together with the intake air, there are also the oil vapors coming from the head of the motor. The intake valves are hot and the carbon of...

From my experiences and from what these motors are famous :rolleyes:: -Timing chain issues = bed design (looks like a bike chain), and related tensioner and plastic guides that with time can broked = bye bye motor 🥲! -Oil pipe that lubricates the turbo = bed design and is prone to leak. -Oil...

This is much better CNC machined 😍! ... price 🤑 😭! https://www.detroittuned.com/rpm-power-engine-management-n14-valve-cover/

looks like the plug is for the US market, on the Minis :oops: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-mini-parts/valve-cover/11127646555/ Searching info for the plug, I found also this in casted aluminum: no idea why it is orange 😂...

Yes, I know, I changed so many sparkplugs on my previous cars, my camper (1984) and on my small boat outboard motor (Yamaha 1980) :). Never saw that burned ring on the insulator :rolleyes: but here they say that is just burned oil vapor from the rocker cover gasket: Spark Plugs Shouldn't Look...

Maybe it is doing something, I remember about the recall of the Audi TT (sorry to mention this name on this forum :oops: ) . The firsts that came out. A small fixed spoiled was added to the boot. Looks like in Germany these TT were flying 😂 . Found a video

The old rocker cover does not have any plug on that hole :rolleyes:

I was cleaning the rocket cover box, I found these on the bottom 😁 The red Is going on my keychain 😂 , do I need to use the small black one?

Notting done for the inlet manifold :rolleyes: , I need the deep socket (13mm). I closed everything. I took a look inside the cilinders with an Aliexpress OTG endoscope. The top of all pistons looks really bad :rolleyes:. The NGK BKR6EQUP are nice, not much more expensive than what I paid for...

Not really happy with the yearly check of the spark plugs :rolleyes: . I replaced them exactly one year ago BOSH 0 242 135 518 (EAN 4047024277816) Time for NGK? I'm going to remove the inlet manifold and check the valves 😱.

Wow ... there is soo much to learn from you :oops: So for ordinary mortals :p, 9 Nm :) . Never used Decanewtonmeter [daNm] 😅 Luckily I did right (almost) before reading your reply, 10 Nm for the Bounce Pad and slowly increasing to 10 Nm for the rocker cover bolts following a pattern I found on...

Hi Pedro, I don't know if you remember my "Lucky adventure" when I bought the RCZ :eek: Distribution chain and tensioner information | Peugeot RCZ Forum Do you know the torque specs for the 2 bolts of the slider and the rocker cover bolts?
