The THP engine spoils the oil quite quickly, with a few thousand km you rub the oil on the dipstick between your fingers and it feels inconsistent, little lubricant and smells toasted, it should be the high temperatures of the turbo that spoils it. Of course changing it every 30,000 km as the...

I don't know if these advance variations are normal or not, if the car has a stable idle I don't think it will be a problem. If there is detonation damage it will probably be in all cylinders.

I think the cylinder head had to be removed, probably the detonation caused damage, also on the piston head. If roughness has been created, hot spots are created that cause more detonation. An endoscopic camera could also be inserted first.

All I know is that a bad remapping can ruin an engine, which is why I will never do it. Are you sure all the changes made have been reverted? You may have to go to an official Peugeot garage and have them reinstall the original software.

Install an adjustable air suspension on the RCZ

A few years ago I was driving a small Citroen C2 1.6 16V VTR for a few months, very good on twisty roads, I think it has a harder suspension than the RCZ. I'm not complaining, I've always liked cars like that. I don't want swaying while cornering.

As an emergency wheel, I have one from a Peugeot 407 with a 215/55 R17 tire that looks horrible when fitted, it fits much more inside, plus the car runs badly, it trends to go to the side of the narrow wheel. I recommend you avoid such experiments, as I said before the RCZ is a wrong choice if...

On all RCZs except R the standard wheels were 18" with the option of ordering 19".

There is no fixed rule about that, there are parts that are shared with other more popular models and others that are exclusive to the RCZ. And the interior plastic inside of the front wings are exclusive and on eBay they ask for a lot of money for one. The references are: 7136KQ right side...

The photo is from the maintenance book of my 2010 RCZ. What is the meaning of the graph on the left? titled "Viscosity Fields according to the amplitude of ambient temperatures" Depending on the temperature, can more viscous oil be used? In the last two oil changes I have put Quartz 9000 5w40...

https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/press/press-releases/motor-oil-without-oil.html The main reason to use less viscosity oil is to reduce fuel consumption, not better lubrication And a lower viscosity than recommended should be avoided, read the article.

Front brake disc diameter for RCZ: - 156 HP gasoline: 302 mm, would fit inside a 17" rim - 200CV and HDI: 340 mm, the rim must be at least 18" - R : 380 mm, the rim must be at least 19" As you said is a personal taste. The RCZ with 19" and 40 profile tyres doesn't seem hard to me, I've been...

There is no maximum or minimum, but rather a recommended pressure, which is 2.4 bar on the front axle, which is 35 psi. Low profile tires are much more delicate when faced with potholes and stones, in the last 35 years I have blown out 4 tires for these reasons, fortunately without accidents...

A sports car has a short suspension travel and the suspension must be hard, otherwise it would reach the end of the travel very easily. Diesel is not softer. For a soft suspension a sports car is not the right choice. The HDi weighs 95kg more than the 156 HP petrol one, a weight that is...

They are two different references depending on the car RPO. 1323AJ for RPO until 12382 or 1323JC for ROP since 12838 You just have to google it

The front parking sensor was an option in the initial purchase, €250

You get used to it quickly, especially if you have front distance sensors like my car. They have good lateral sensitivity

If your car is a 156 HP, where the arrow,it has a small filter at the end of a tube, held in a cavity back the distribution cover, it is a bit rare, it looks like a piece of rubber but it is a filter, you can immerse it in acetone to degrease it or make a hole to unclog it. That resolved P2263...

Yes, the same for all RCZs
