    Expensive Air Conditioning Problem

    Recently they also replaced the entire air conditioning box on mine. The evaporator isn't supplied separately. The fan and heating radiator from the old unit were reused, everything else, including the valves and servomotors, is new. The part alone costs €1080 + VAT. Total bill: €2200 :(

    Correct Oil?

    When my car had 115,000 km, I started using Total Quartz 9000 5W40 oil, the one that doesn't show "Energy" and meets the PSA standard. Since then, the engine runs quieter.

    HPFP refurbisment

    That pump is a magnificent piece of hydraulic engineering, but it has a problem with the oil. The oil loses volume over time as sludge builds up. The pump has a small oil reservoir in a diaphragm, but it's too small. When the oil runs low, cavitation occurs, and the pump starts to malfunction.

    Needing new turbo

    Smoke from the exhaust can be caused by several things, not just the turbo. There could be problems like worn valve stem seals or piston rings; a compression test would be a good idea. If the engine fault light doesn't come on when you floor it in second or third gear, all the way to the...

    Need help to solve missfire, rough idle on my Peugeot RCZ 2011 1.6 THP200

    I had similar problems a while ago, as neilgsxr69 says the problem was the high pressure fuel pump, I dismantled it and sent it to be repaired, there's no need to buy a new one! To verify that it is the pump, you can monitor the rail fuel pressure, which should rise to 50 bar upon starting and...

    P0087 Help needed

    Typical symptoms of high-pressure pump failure. The pressure in the injector rail should quickly rise to 50 bar upon startup, but it doesn't, causing misfires. The same thing happened to me when the car had about 115,000 km on the clock. The solution was to repair the pump.

    clutch

    It does not have a cable, the actuator is hydraulic, it uses the same fluid as the brakes.

    High clutch and slow return

    The pedal should have a spring attached and clearly visible on the left side. Are you sure it's present? If it is, make sure to lubricate it.

    DPF light comes on after 50 miles an hour

    The Peugeot maintenance book indicates that the DPF must be replaced at 110,000 milles.

    GUIDE: Updating the firmware, maps and installing risk areas (RADARs) on NG4

    Try searching for a street in another country... Usually, if a street doesn't appear, it's because it doesn't exist on your NG4 maps with that exact name, sometimes because the article is missing, like "l'eglise" instead "eglise."

    New owner here - hope I got a good one!

    Blue smoke after idling is due to the valve stem seals or piston rings. To distinguish one from the other, a compression test would be necessary. If compression is low the problem is in the rings. When the engine is idling, the vacuum is strong inside the cylinder, and this causes it to suck in...

    From RD5 to RT6 or NG4

    There are millions of Peugeot and Citroen cars with the same equipment and screen you have, and there are also many Android solutions on the market available to replace it. Installing an NG4 system means installing a 15-year-old system. Plus, your car isn't ready for it. The car's overall...

    Radiator Cap changed level went up?

    I bought this one last year and it works well, for the THP engine https://www.amazon.co.uk/febi-bilstein-37600-radiator-expansion/dp/B00CEFCKBQ/ref=sr_1_1

    Radiator Cap changed level went up?

    If the cap is defective, it may not hold pressure and steam bubbles may form, causing the level to rise. The pressure causes the refrigerant to boil at a higher temperature. It is the center of the cap that makes the seal, check that it has the O-ring.

    Upgrading front suspension

    Changing parts to see if the noise goes away without knowing where it's coming from isn't a good idea. An expert should analyze where the noise is coming from. Tests can be done to determine if the shock absorbers are good. The difference with the HDi is significant—almost 100 kg of...

    Is it safe to change the Cam Chain Tensioner?

    On top of the engine, above the tensioner, there is a lifting eye, which you can use to pry with a bar and the wrench and tighten much more hard. But not excessively either, the engine block is aluminum.

    P0016 but eml not on!

    The main reason to use less viscosity oil is to reduce fuel consumption, not better lubrication and the reduction in consumption is ridiculous, read article https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/press/press-releases/motor-oil-without-oil.html I have already done 40000 km with 5W40, before with 0W30...

    P0016 but eml not on!

    I've been using Total Quartz 9000 5W 40 for years. The engine runs smoother and quieter, and it consumes less oil than with 0W 30. I changed the tensioner because it sometimes rattle a little. If it didn't rattle for you, I wouldn't change it. I bought the tensioner from Autodoc, and it hasn't...
