The part itself costs around 500£ in the UK (there are plenty on eBay). Part numbers are 1920LL for THP156 or 1920RT THP200/R. It is not that hard to replace it yourself. How long do they last? Some say around 100k km. Mine broke down at 80k km.
The recommended oil is Total Quartz INEO ECS...
It is recommended to replace the timing chain every 80k km (according to my independent Peugeot specialist). Check the service book when (if) it was replaced. My RCZ is at 115k km and I'm starting to get P0012 Camshaft position timing over retarded. Peugeot dealership suspects it is a timing...
I feel your pain 😭 When I was looking for RCZ, it took me two months to find the one with the right specs. When I found it, there were some minor scratches and no service history. Eventually, I decided to buy it anyway and it turned out to be a decent purchase.
The price was about 300 Eur. After remap my RCZ had 171kW (~230HP) / 340 Nm. It was done by a specialist on a rolling road. The difference was very noticeable. A few months ago my remapped RCZ was wrecked 😓 Now I have another stock THP200 RCZ and it feels sluggish compared to my old one... I'm...
A few months ago, I replaced my diverter valve (DV) and if I remember correctly, the spring was weak. In my case, DV had a little crack on the plastic ring therefore I upgraded to this bad boy...
Check buttons on the media system, you should have either "Setup" or "Menu". Press that button and somewhere over there should be "Vehicle parameters".
1. The engine can be problematic. Take a look here for the common problems Peugeot-Citroen/Mini 1.6 THP engine naming, maintenance and servicing – 101 – eTuners Before 100k km you should get some of the problems mentioned there. You may also check my personal thread (link in the signature)...
A few months ago I got into an accident and my old RCZ was wrecked.
I decided to get another RCZ. This time a black 200 THP.
I got it relatively cheap so I knew there might be some engine-related problems and today P0012 (camshaft timing is over-retarded) error showed up. Other than...
The difference in performance was noticeable. Maybe this is the reason fuel efficiency did not improve - after the remap I was driving more aggressively :rolleyes: My reason for remapping was to get more power and that was what I got. Maybe there are remaps focused on the economy but does RCZ...
Here in Lithuania at Peugeot dealership, I paid ~around 315 Eur (£265) for thermostat replacement (including new thermostat, new wiring and coolant) took them less than 2 hours to replace. £500 sounds a bit too much for a thermostat replacement 🤔
