My RCZ is a car that I like, it is a car with personality, with beautiful and distinctive shapes, not like current new cars, apart from being ugly, they all look alike.
I am willing to keep it for a few years in good and original condition, even if it costs some money, because that way in the...
The washer was and is positioned superimposed as in your left drawing although its outer diameter is much smaller. Attached photo of the old tensioner with washer.
As I said before there was no other washer on the engine block.
I just took out a tensioner with its washer and put a new one with...
I already changed the tensioner 5 days ago.
It took me about 45 minutes with an assistant friend.
I open the intermediate joint on the pipe from the intercooler to the intake manifold and loosened the clamp on the manifold side blindly with a small ratchet wrench. So you can rotate the pipe...
Petrol RCZs do not originally have acoustic insulation on the bonnet.
Also if it were insulated the motor would run even hotter.
The risk of fire is increased in any turbocharged engine, in no case is it exclusive to the RCZ
First look at the legislation on the subject in your country.
At least in my country, Spain, that is almost impossible, it is forbidden to install xenon in cars that left the factory with halogens.
It seems that they will allow in the future to change the halogen bulbs to LEDs but it seems...
The exhaust part of the turbo reaches very high temperatures, even close to 600 ºC. It's normal
That's why it's covered with a sheet to avoid burns, even so don't touch it with a hot engine.
That's why when the engine stops, in a quiet environment, you will hear a small noise from an electric...
The drawing corresponds to various types of wiring, therefore what is drawn is only approximate.
What is clear is that the wires that connect the navigation buttons are part of the main wiring and your car does not have them.
I have no information on the USB cable or the electrical diagram.
As you can see in the attached image, the missing cables are part of the general wiring, in cars with NG4 from the factory. It is not a separate cable that can be added.
Do you mean that the previous owner installed an NG4 in a car that did not have it?
Cars with original NG4 navigator also have a larger display between the speedometer and the rev counter where some functions appear that cars without navigator have on the central display. I think it's not just...
Continuation of the story:
- Fault P2263 appeared again at strong acceleration.
- The mechanic changed the turbo solenoid valve, but this did not solve the problem.
- Finally I discovered a small filter through which the valve takes ambient air. It was clogged. After releasing the air passage...
