    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    I was wrong, the window motor is exclusive to the RCZ. I ended up getting a new one on eBay, an original part made in 2024! It's finally fixed and working properly :)

    Window lowers completely by itself when opening the door.

    Thanks but I already tried calibrating it, but it was impossible because it barely worked. The garage is waiting for a new motor to arrive; they say the old one is broken. The part costs €417. It seems that it can still be easily obtained since the Peugeot 508 uses the same motor. Hopefully...

    Air Conditioning Leaking

    There are now electronic gas detectors with a rod that are much more effective than using fluorescent liquid. The important thing is to go to an air conditioning specialist who can find the leak. In workshops without the proper equipment they only refill the gas. If it's a leak in the...

    Is my timing chain about to let go or is there something simpler I can do?

    My chain has 146,000 km and has never been changed; it's the original one. At approximately 110,000 km, I changed the tensioner because a rattling noise could sometimes be heard within a few minutes of a cold start. The noise disappeared after changing the tensioner. The main cause of timing...

    Is my timing chain about to let go or is there something simpler I can do?

    Try changing just the tensioner. I did it 40,000 km ago and never heard the knocking noise again when cold. The engine now has 146,000 km. You might be pleasantly surprised. ...and above all, change the oil every 10,000 km or 6,000 miles.

    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.

    Retrofit MK1 monochrome screen in MK2 with sat nav

    From the moment of manufacture, the wiring and programming of the car is already different with one unit or another, and it is normal that with this change several functions do not work correctly.

    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.

    Brand new to The RCZ world

    Is there foam on the back of the oil filler cap? If it is true the cylinder head gasket is probably damaged.

    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...
