Yes that's about right, issue with my 2011 car was the damage it did to the valves, if I remember right they were all replaced

Mines done 32k and I've already thought about it. My first RCZ a 2011 plate had coking issues at 25k miles and was only about 18 months old at the time. Dealer fixed it under warranty but if I remember correctly the bill would have been over 1k to put right.

Welcome to the forum Stig.

I had the timing chain, tensioners, guides, etc, on mine replaced last month and it was nearer £700 You might just get the tensioner done for £200-300 Warranty sounds a bit pointless, warranty company picked up the full bill on mine.

So having worked from home in my new role for the last few weeks I needed to go to the office this week, about 240 miles each way. Car never missed a beat there or back and past hundreds of mundane hatchbacks and saloons on the trip making me appreciate the RCZ even more than normal. Real shame...

Good luck with the new purchase Best looking car for the money on the road

Rob What you might want to consider is that 0-60 isn't the half of it. My previous car was a 510 BHP XKR and in a straight line there wasn't much that would keep up with it but the RCZ is a different car entirely. The fun of these cars is going round corners without having to use the brake...

Nice, ill take one Shame they will probably never replace the RCZ

Welcome to the forum As you've already discovered these cars are prone to mechanical problems at fairly low mileage. In my view a consequence of the daft 20k service intervals Peugeot dropped the ball in thinking long service intervals would attract buyers Having said that there is nothing on...

like I said, you don't need to slow down for corners 😁

FsH is key and preferably at better than the peugeot service intervals. I've had 3 petrol versions but the smart money reckons the diesel is a better bet reliability wise . The 2.0 litre hdi engine is a pretty good unit. These cars are seriously under valued at the moment so you'll get a lot...

Powder coating black is a good about 😂😂😂😂😂

Got to agree, my XKR had 510 BHP, nearly double the RCZR but wouldn't have kept up with the Ferrari.

I've got the lowest spec THP156 engine and its not as quick as it looks but who cares when you don't need to slow down for corners . Handling on these cars is great. If you want super quick you'll need the RCZ R which has got 270 bhp which is more than enough on something that weights as much as...

totally agree Cars these days are way too complicated and there are too many things to go wrong The only people who benefit are the manufacturers and dealers not the customers

The garage who changed my timing chain did the whole kit including the plastic guides which can fail and told me it was an 8/9 hour job , just the tensioners replacement would have been 2/3 hours.

Don't dismiss the petrol engines If your spending £4.5k you're better off with a good petrol than a duff diesel Service history is key

The first 2 RCZs I owned had the same wheels as yours and I always thought they looked a bit lame compared with the rest of the cars styling but painted in the colour yours are they look great .

2015 model with 30k miles, Mechanical breakdown warranty I had from the dealer covered it . Common fault on the 1.6 petrol engines, if the tensioners only need doing its a lot cheaper ,

New timing chain will set you back over £700 so worth checking if its been done
