    Worn non slip pedals on RCZ GT THP 156 1598cc Petrol Coupe manual 2013

    I was looking at it on Ali Express and I think you can buy the spare part for the clutch and brake that are the same as other Peugeot models, but the accelerator one is different in RCZ and the footrest, that left-hand drive cars have, is also different. On AliExpress they sell the entire set...

    Anyone installed a throttle controller?

    If you notice that when you open the throttle the car takes 1 - 2 seconds to push more, that is not because there is an electronic delay but rather it is due to turbo-lag, which is the time it takes for the turbo to rev up. Furthermore, the automatic transmission does not help for a quick...

    Steam /condensation

    If water comes out of the exhaust, it is entering the combustion chambers somewhere. That sounds like a head gasket problem. Is there sludge on the inside of the oil filler cap? Have you had any overheating?

    Cut out and will not start

    Connecting to the ODBII port, you should observe the pressure in the injector rack. When you turn the key, it should rise to 5 bar, which is the pressure given by the pump in the tank. If it does not, the tank should be removed to access the bomb

    Hi All, looking at buying an RCZ

    The main culprit for timing chain problems is the tensioner. It has a small spring that loses strength over time. If you replace the tensioner as soon as it starts to make some noise when cold, then the chain can last a long time.

    Any one tried

    With those bulbs here in Spain the car is rejected in the technical inspection. And if the road police stop you, €200 fine On the packaging it says: not valid for public roads

    Creaking roof ?

    Are the new springs softer and perhaps shorter? Maybe your suspension is easily reaching its limit.

    Peugeot RCZ

    You have to see the engine from below, removing the plastic cover that has the engine underneath. Nearby I can rent an elevator for €15 an hour. I've already used it to change the oil.

    Is it safe to change the Cam Chain Tensioner?

    Same for me, since then I have never heard the rattle again.

    Pedal rubber

    Does anyone know if pedal rubber can be purchased separately? In my car they are worn out and depending on what shoes you wear they slip when resting on just metal. Thanks

    Beware of faulty USB stick in NG4

    Recently when I started the car the screen told me that the update was complete and to press OK to reboot. I had a USB stick with music on it, I hadn't put a USB stick in to update something, but I still pressed OK and it happened that NG4 did a hard reset. Radio presets, navigator...

    HPFP Fuel line clip

    I have seen a video in which they remove the plastic clip by prying it with a screwdriver, but it is not necessary to remove it, just push it and the connection is released

    White smoke when car warms up - blown turbo or valve seals??

    If the valve seals or piston rings fail then the smoke will come out when you open throttle after a while at idle. Typical case after having been stopped at a traffic light.

    P0016 - should I invest in enhanced diagnostics?

    I think a better diagnostic system will only confirm the problem, that is, that the camshaft is out of phase from where it should be, but it will not tell you where the fault is, which is probably a mechanical fault, a partial obstruction somewhere in a oil line, bad sensor etc. I would be in...

    Hard suspension

    Such low pressures are risky: - The tire wears out faster. - The tires wear more on the sides. - The tires run hotter, mainly at high speeds. - In collisions with curbs or potholes it is much easier for the tire to break on the sidewall. - Less mileage per liter. - Inaccuracy in driving...

    Radio

    Apart from the codes, it is not enough to disconnect and connect. Cars with NG4 have different wiring, navigation buttons on the center console, a different display in the instrument panel, GPS antenna on the roof, of course the retractable color screen, etc. Maybe it would be more interesting...

    Wing mirror trim replacement

    I think that the casing is the same in the Citroen DS3 but if you change only one part, better to get a original PSA part. I bought a cheap top trim and it didn't fit.

    P0299 & P2263

    In my car they changed the electro valve but P2263 persisted and was only solved by cleaning the famous mini filter that has part 1922W8
