And how to ensure the appropriate amount of oil is added to the system?

Car's AC run "dry" when: - not used for months or years - not used regularly (at least once a week for about 30 minutes, also during cold winter) - have a leak (but then the gas disappears quicker than the usual "not used for a long period") Recharging incl the correct amount of compressor oil...

Welcome! That a nice combo: RWD fun car vs FWD fun car

I agree with the diagnosis above here: a neglected engine which run most time on low level oil & low revs (city driving only?) while "overheating" in the head area because of lack of oil lubrication. That is really bad for only 41k. I remember the cams on my R with 130k on the clock looked like...

It has been a while since it occurred but if I remember correctly it was pipe no. 4 as on the blueprint attached to the first post here.

Hi reycz95, Attached you will find the pictures of the pipe which was falling apart in my R. You are free to use those pictures for your own purposes.

Welcome and enjoy your ride!

Let me check, if I can find some pictures in my archive about that.

By the time the valve seats get replaced you'd clean that inlet and the valve seats properly. They are significantly clogged. It is not yet really bad like I often see with VW engines, not at all, but it would be advisable to clean them.

Congrats on doing this business! Providing parts for this extraordinary car is a bliss! You should point out to R owners that the stock hoses connecting to the R intercooler are prone to falling apart on the inside. Due to ingress of engine oil into the surface on the inside of that hose it...

Looks like spanking new! Keep her, spoil her, enjoy her!

Good instructions! Especially about formatting the data device. That is quite important. I can recall running all those updates my NG4. It took the system between an hour and sometimes 2 to finish the update. Usually I did some B road blasts while it processed. Sometimes it did stop with an...

Great read! Oh, the joy of a spirited drive in the RCZ, how much do I miss you ... Only the ignorant will dismiss the RCZ as a capable sports car. It has a lot of potential, even in the stock disguise. I could scare few porsche owners taking a passenger ride in mine RCZ. And one of them was...

...what a beauty

Michelin did not stop the development of the Pilot Sport 4 tyres family. Meanwhile they offer different versions of the same tyre, so you can pick an Acoustic version of the PS4 (not the PS4s), or a specifically branded version for Peugeots (S1 version, here I assume this is the version of the...

Glad I could be of any help. Let's wait for the others to comment as well.

Welcome! Indeed, the RCZ as a FWD handles very well. There only few other FWD cars which belong to that class of its own.

Hi there, Allow me to comment on your questions: ad 1. A higher load index won't hurt. Yes, the sidewall construction compared to a 92 load index might be a bit "stiffer". But that is not 100% given the small difference in load index between 92 and 96. With 96 you have a higher safety margin...

You mean mute the sound? Just push the volume button. It will then mute.

Those are the temps you have to deal with on a yearly basis?
