    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.

    You would have to remove the entire seat and look underneath where the problem is.

    HPFP much cheaper than Garage!!! (High pressure fuel pump)

    You just need to push the plastic clip inwards and the pipe comes loose, there is no need to remove it by lever, as they do in some video!

    HP Fuel Rail needed for a MK1 RCZ 200

    Maybe in a car scrapyard? Probably some Mini would also have the same part.

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

    Engine doesn’t work smooth after staring

    These shaking are usually due to miss firings, the engine starts with only 3 or 2 cylinders and the probable cause is a faulty high pressure fuel pump.

    Anti freeze

    Antifreeze should be changed periodically, at least every 4 or 5 years. It even loses color over time. Change it in your car and then you can choose the color you like best.

    Low mileage R maintenance

    As long as the car continues to brake well, you don't have to worry about the discs and pads, but you should replace the brake fluid. Also change the engine coolant. A lubricated chain does not degrade over time, it is not a rubber belt that does degrade . According to Peugeot, the oil in the...

    Interior air filter, pollen filter

    It's in the engine compartment, to the left of the air filter, looking at the car from the front. On mine you have to remove the two last plastic rivets that hold a cloth, which covers the filter cover, when you remove the cover you can extract the filter. In the document from @chrismac there...

    P1164

    I recently had the battery replaced on my car, it didn't show any previous fault codes, just that one morning it stopped starting. Today I checked if there were any fault codes stored and there were none. I'm surprised that it didn't detect earlier that the battery was about to die.

    Engine stuttering at higher rpm

    Mine also had a bad smell on cold start prior the HPFP was repaired, but I had cold start misfires, not at high rpm. Now it still smells a little on cold start, but all petrol engines do that until the catalytic converter heats up.

    Wheels

    The original anti-theft bolts break easily, especially in tyre shops that tighten them with the pneumatic tool at full power as if it were a truck. They should know very well that they should not do that. I also decided to remove them, but then I put other more resistant ones, as I explained...

    Rear spoiler

    I put the cell phone recording video on the rear window and I saw how it went up and down by itself.

    Engine stuttering at higher rpm

    With a 10€ ELM327 ODB II bluetooth connector and a free app like Torque, you can monitor fuel pressure while driving. If it drops below 50bar when it stutters, the HPFP is faulty.

    RCZ possible write off - advice ?

    It doesn't seem like a very expensive repair, if you can get a front bumper at a reasonable price, even if it's a different colour it can be repainted. The bonnet looks like it can be repaired and repainted, the damage to the aluminium seems minor. You would also need to get a side mirror...

    Flat spot at 95mph 156 THP

    Depending on the defect, the ECU disconnects the turbo, the engine runs out of turbo pressure and I believe the maximum speed of the car in that condition could be around 150 km/h.

    SD Card format

    I have a 32GB SD card installed and it works fine, I assume a 64GB one will work just as well. The card must be formatted on the computer using FAT format and full format, not quick format.

    Flat spot at 95mph 156 THP

    is the engine fault light on ? If it is true, the engine is probably running in limp mode.
