I've seen here that the recommended oil is Total 5W30, but my mechanic is putting Total 5W40 in most PRINCE engine cars. Is this okay - longterm wise? I've called around two or three garages and they all said 5W40 for the RCZ engine due to better long-term timing chain performance. What do...

Mine has white smoke visible when stationary - during colder and more humid weather. I've seen couple of other RCZs doing the same, so I think its fine.

Its as reliable as any other car. If its properly maintained, you shouldn't worry about it. Also, a lot depends on your luck as to how the previous owner took care of it. Although, 5K even in pounds seems a little low to me. I paid 10k EUR for 13' year with relatively low mileage. What you...

I'll forward the files.

A friend tried to adapt the maps, with some parts from Audi but could not manage to make it work. The maps did show up, but there was no road navigation. He said he'll keep working on them, but he gave no timeline as to where he might make them work.

That second picture there is from a fixed radar/speed camera? :D

You mean the idle RPM? I believe 700-750 is normal. Mine is 700-750 aswell.

I have black stitching so I believe it's genuine leather. Just looking if anyone here has good info about fixing it - someone maybe did it himself.

So, I left the windows open while at home because it was around 35C outside and I hate the feeling of a sauna when entering the car. Unfortunately, there was some bird or a car that landed on the door on the driver's side because the leather is heavily scratched there. What is the best thing to...

I managed to open it. I've forwarded them to a friend that has done the adaptation once before. I'll update the info when I get info from him.

I’ll try again. Although I was looking over the NG4 unofficial maps data and they are a mix of BMW and Audi maps. See here: LINK

I tried downloading the torrents. Could not extract the EAST zip file. Not on Mac, not on Windows machine. Dropped a couple of errors.

Thank for posting. I'll check today in the evening - must download the torrent.

They said they never did it on the Peugeot even if it's the same engine as the Mini and they do not know if they can manage to get the blaster and the vaccum in place. But they would not check it. From what I've seen, RCZ has more space to do it. But nevertheless, they refused to do it.

Not every Mini dealer will do it. I approached 2 official MINI/BMW dealers in Slovenia, both refused walnut blasting on my RCZ - they said they have no idea if it's possible to do it without taking out the entire engine.

I meant the driver dahsboard with the speedometer and rev counter. That middle orange screen is different I believe in the non-nav RCZs.

Maybe I'm going to have to drive it to Bulgaria to repaint the car to do it for a good price :D

That looks amazing.

Probably not, since the driver dashboard screen is also different. Not every MK2 had the RT6 version. I know since mine is 2013 MK2 and has a NG4 :D

So, here I am again :D After calm two months, the car gave me another Engine Fault - Repair Needed Message today. Although, ONLY THIS is showing, there are no lights on the dashboard, apart from the exclamation mark in the triangle where the KM and Trip meters are. It only shows once, when the...
