    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    My driver's window (left side) lowers all the way with rapid jerks when I open the door. Even when it's all the way down, the jerks can still be heard. When I close the door, it stops, and I can only raise it slowly because it also jerks and only works in the first position of the switch. If I...

    Fuel Pressure

    When you turn the key without starting the engine, the pressure in the rail must rise to 5 bar and this pressure is provided by the fuel tank pump. When the engine is started, the pressure must always remain above 50 bar, although it can fluctuate but not fall below 50. This pressure is...

    Battery change

    I have disconnected and reconnected the battery many times and the only thing I have to do afterwards is set date and time on the clock. But I have always made sure to have a window down in case it decides to close.

    Brand new to The RCZ world

    Both can be due to the misfire of cylinder 4, it does not have to be a problem with the chain. Fix that misfire first, coil, spark plug, injector, carefully examine cables and connectors to make sure they do not have a missing or bent pin.

    HDi Woes

    If the car has been driven mostly on short journeys at low power, it will probably have a lot of soot in the engine and this will not be solved with magic additives. Parts will have to be disassembled and cleaned.

    HDi Woes

    It would be necessary to know on what the emissions test failed, particulate matter? NOx? unburned hydrocarbons? The engine may be very dirty with soot, or like so many diesels there may be a problem with the DPF or EGR. Does it smoke sometimes? Does it consume oil? The small oil leak has...

    White exhaust smoke when idling for 15 minutes plus

    When the engine burns oil, smoke comes out when you accelerate after idling. It doesn't take 15 minutes, you just need to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light. If this happens, oil can usually be lost through valve seals or piston rings. The smoke can be somewhat blue, but 90% of...

    Adjustable camber and castor?

    A wide tyre can only be placed fairly perpendicular to the ground, more negative camber reduces the contact surface with less grip. In addition, the contact area is displaced from the axis of the central pivot and this causes unwanted reactions in the steering wheel. It can affect other...

    Is it safe to change the Cam Chain Tensioner?

    There is no such procedure in the Peugeot manuals. There is a procedure for changing the timing chain, which is long and requires special tools, making it a job that is only within the reach of professional workshops. Those of us who have changed only the tensioner did so at our own risk.

    RCZ's seat problems, help.

    This is similar in almost any car, each front seat has 2 rails attached with 4 screws to the floor of the car, after removing the screws the entire seat with the rails are raised and removed, disconnecting the electrical connector that is usually located underneath.

    Be prepared for uneven tire wear and a strange steering wheel feel.
