    RCZ R front discs and calipers

    Yes, I have seen mechanics recommend putting copper grease on the back of the pads. There are also highly carbonized discs that are said to reduce noise.

    Engine oil filter pressure warning !

    In the mechanical workshop they usually have a pressure gauge that is inserted in the sensor location. Then they can see if the pressure is correct and then what is failing is the sensor, or there is a problem with the pump or solenoid valve. The pressure varies depending on the revolutions.

    2015 RCZ R, 40,000 mileage, clutch issue?

    I don't think the clutch can brake the car. Maybe a brake caliper piston is stuck a little. The R has multi-piston front brakes. You can also replace the brake fluid, it should be changed every 2 years.

    Just realised RCZ has two explosive rams for want of better words that activate if you hit anything.Unfortunately a bird strike could.

    I think there is an accelerometer behind the front badge and a sensor with a cable behind the bumper that triggers that protection. Keep in mind that disabling security elements is a reason to fail the annual technical review, if they discover it.

    THP 156 new wheels and tyres needed

    It is usually much cheaper to refurbish them than to buy new rims.

    Rcz

    It would be necessary to look at it from below in an elevator, and forcing with a lever see if there is movement in any bushing or ball joint, or perhaps something is broken. Surely only with the jack up you can't apply enough force, but surely there is something that moves when accelerating...

    What is rcz based on?

    It is not the exact same chassis as those Peugeot models since the RCZ is wider. It is really very difficult to know if a suspension part is the same between two models, and the manufacturer usually puts different references for different models, although it may be the same part. On Autodoc.eu...

    Unknown rubber parts

    Removed, very easy pulling with pliers

    Unknown rubber parts

    Thanks ! Strange that a previous owner put that on it when the suspension is already hard and even more with 19" rims. I will remove it, they are quite destroyed

    Unknown rubber parts

    Does anyone know what those two pieces of rubber are, that my car has attached to the right front suspension spring? They are not on the left side. They do not appear in Service Box

    1.6 litre 200THP - Issue regarding the High-Pressure-Fuel-Pump (HPFP)

    I'm not going to look for a problem where, for now and after 20,000km, there isn't one.

    1.6 litre 200THP - Issue regarding the High-Pressure-Fuel-Pump (HPFP)

    For now I don't care much. I also think that the pump does not fail due to oil leaks since if that were true and with the small amount of oil it contains, it would fail much sooner. I think the pump fails due to oil degradation, which reduces the volume somewhat by creating sludge. And there...

    1.6 litre 200THP - Issue regarding the High-Pressure-Fuel-Pump (HPFP)

    I don't know if the guy who fixed mine changed the seals or not. For now it works fine

    1.6 litre 200THP - Issue regarding the High-Pressure-Fuel-Pump (HPFP)

    The reason HPFP usually fails is not mechanical, the reason is usually lack of oil. It consists of a hydraulic piston pump that transmits oil pressure to gasoline through metal bellows. Over time it loses hydraulic oil. Underneath it has a small oil tank with a membrane and a spring that I...

    PCV Valve and pipe issues

    In the last photo, if the small filter on the left has a tube coming from below, then it has nothing to do with the PCV system. It is a breathing tube and filter for the turbo regulation solenoid valve that is lower down. It should be hidden in a cavity in the timing cover, but someone left it...

    Front brake pads question...

    If the discs are worn with very worn pads, it may be that the metal of the pad scratches. Furthermore, we always tend to look at the exterior pad but they do not usually wear out equally and it may be that the interior pad is still more worn. Unfortunately the RCZ does not have wear sensors...

    White Smoke

    Water vapor coming out of the exhaust for the first few minutes in winter is normal, water condenses inside the exhaust and then comes out when starting. It is very different if smoke comes out when accelerating after having been idling stopped, already with the engine warm, at a traffic light...

    Analogue clock will not sync with digital clock

    Maybe the clock is failing to connect to the CAN Bus
