If softer springs are used, the suspension would easily reach bottom end with impacts, the result would be even worse. The original car has the proper springs for the suspension travel. Also if the shock absorbers are worn it can increase the discomfort. Hard suspension is intrinsic to a...

2 hours ? Where you have had so much problem, I am convinced that in 15 minutes I will do it. I've taken it out and back several times to get better access to other parts, like the petrol high pressure pump.

It is not necessary to disassemble those terminals with nuts, as in the video, the fuse container can be separated enough without disconnecting terminals. The cover swings up. When you place the new battery, put it as far forward as possible towards you, if it is fixed further back you will...

Several solenoids in the THP motor are not controlled with an on-off 0-12V signal but progressively with PWM (power width modulation). The ECU controls the solenoid valve depending on the revolutions, sensors etc. The VVT and the turbo control solenoid valves work like this and I think the high...

A 215/55 17 wheel from a Peugeot 407 fits perfectly in the space without raising the boot floor. The tire external diameter is close the same. The screws are also compatible with the RCZ. I think that to design the RCZ they took advantage of parts of the 407 But it can only be mounted on the...

Those wired readers are not compatible with all car brands. Get this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MMOBIEL-OBD2-Scanner-Bluetooth-Android/dp/B0B9YPPTLC/ref=sr_1_5 and with the free Torque app in your phone you will see the codes and erase it too. Verified that it works in RCZ

If oil consumption is a main factor for carbon build up on intake valves, then in my case using 5W40 it has been reduced by half. Although in my case the oil consumption occurs mainly in the turbo. I know due the throttle body is leaking oil. Perhaps the detergent effect of the oil can clean...

I know it's not the recommended oil but 5000 km ago I put Total Quartz 9000 5w40 on it. Complies with PSA B71 2296 standard. Oil consumption has been halved compared to 0W30 and the engine is now quieter and runs smoother. The car has done 125000 km

True, only cars with seat and mirror position memory have the feature

That hoist bracket works great as a fulcrum to pry the wrench when loosening and tightening the tensioner

After reading here that some forum user had done it, I changed the tensioner 3 months ago in my 156 hp without locking anything and the result was very good, a little rattling that I had occasionally when cold has disappeared. Put a container underneath, when the tensioner is removed about...

Whay the manual says: There are more steps to disassemble the entire central body, but I think that with that you will have enough

On there is a lack of material it can be added with TIG welding, there are workshops that do it, even large bites.

I think you would have to remove the door panel and then clean the guides with a cloth and alcohol. Water does not dissolve sap. But better to have it done by a workshop, to remove the panel correctly you have to use a special tool to release the clips. Don't use WD40! it would be greased and...

I remember in this forum one who made the modification that you want, he changed the center console but his car did not have the cables to connect the navigation buttons and therefore they did not work. I don't remember if he managed to fix it.

It's not just the screen and the stereo, there are differences in the general wiring of the car, the little screen between the speedometer and revs is different, the center console has more buttons... In addition, you are trying to install equipment designed 13 years ago and that in electronics...

Well, looking under the engine and seeing which side is more wet with oil, but if your mechanic friend says that it is a crankshaft seal, he surely have seen which side it is.

It depends on which side of the crankshaft the leak is on. If it's on the timing chain side it's a much easier job than if it's on the transmission side.

On mine, on cold start, the pump is only heard when the key is inserted, not when it is turned. But even if the pump is heard, the pressure before the high pressure pump does not increase to approx. 5 bar until the key is turned. This pressure can be checked in two ways: - With a suitable...

If the weight is supported on both sides of the protrusion it will be fine, the structure is strong there. The problem comes when it's supported on the edge of the protrusion or an inappropriate or incorrectly placed scissor jack is used or with the car badly braked and it falls. The rubber...
