    Timing chain top guide position and rocker cover

    False alarm 😅 ! I removed the slider and the chain marks are exactly where they should be. After I read the brand of the slider and I was angry that the Peugeot garage used some aftermarket brand spares :mad: ! But just googling it and on a Mercedes Benz forum looks like it is the best of...

    Timing chain top guide position and rocker cover

    I'm busy replacing the rocker cover and I noticed that the timing chain top guide/slider position is not aligned with the chain. The chain is on the left edge of the slider. It is one and half year since the official Peugeot garage replaced the chain. Not sure that this is the right position...

    Smoke after idling = valve stem seals?

    No, as I wrote, I use the car 99% on the highway (~80km/day), and there I don't see smoke at all. I will try first with the 5W40 oil but I have still one new 5L can of 5W30 and another one open that I use for topping up between the oil changes.

    Replacing the NG4 (WIP COM 3D) with an RT6 (WIP NAV)?

    For the music controls, a cheap Bluetooth remote control can do the job ;)

    Replacing the NG4 (WIP COM 3D) with an RT6 (WIP NAV)?

    The simplest solution is to buy a cheap Bluetooth receiver to connect to the AV input in the glovebox.

    Full led tail lights & headlights by Headlight Design Center

    Just popped up on Youtube I put the name of the company on the title because this guy really deserves to be known. I saw in the past many other projects and every time I say he is the best on this 👍 .

    Off the road...but could have been worse!

    Cars producers, in the last years, also for important components, went from steel to aluminium to plastic :mad: ... I was missing the food-grade-biodegradable plastic step o_O 😁

    Inner roof lining removal

    Peugeot had already the 308 CC for who wanted the open roof :). I saw many of them but only one facelift. Love the seats 😍

    Smoke after idling = valve stem seals?

    I'm already using the Total ineo ECS 5W30, never tried the 0W30. When I bought the car, I found an old receive from the previous owner, that one time a garage used the 10W40 o_O Today, going at work and back, 80 Km, 90% highway, and no smoke at all. Also when the car/oil is cold there is no...

    I must find one of these: :)

    Smoke after idling = valve stem seals?

    Thank you Pedro. When possible I will take a look with an endoscope camera. In case, I found a Mini specialist that should do the job (valve steam seals replacement) for 700 Euro, without removing the cylinder head. They pressurize the cylinder so the valves stay close.

    RCZ 2010 - LEFT WING MIRROR MECHANISIM

    My mirrors are working fine for now, but does anyone know if there is a way to block them open (a fuse for example)? Just for the winter when in the morning the car is frozen and I'm praying that noting goes broken when I push the opening button on the remote control 🥶 . it is not the first time...

    Smoke after idling = valve stem seals?

    Just the walnut blasting? I really hope that it is just that. I found in other forums (Mini and Peugeut/Citroen with the same 1.6 THP motor) that the valve steam seals start "cook" and drying after some time and the oil start draw :(.

    Smoke after idling = valve stem seals?

    Hi, before the last oil change I used the Liqui Moly Engine Flush Plus and after that I started to have higher oil consumption and a lot of smoke after idling. With the motor cold, it is is fine, no smoke but with the motor hot I'm almost scary to stop somewhere because I know what is going to...

    Blow Off Valve or Diverter Valve

    Right, for less than 10 €/£/$ , that I know, only the spacers with the side holes are available. The DV+ is not blowing air outside but diverting it (same as the original setup) and it replace the plastic part of the original actuator with a metal one that is more resistant. Spacers are just for...
