Yep, over 105.000 miles here. And still going strong. Since we cleaned the intake ports a bit, she got another bit of her performance back. As soon as the heat wave is over here, I will do a top speed test. This time I will put a camera on. Currently completing my gear for that occasion...

Welcome to the forum :beer: And welcome soon to the R family :greetings-wavingblue:

A great picture this move is! I went to the cinema when it was released. And by the time (SPOILER ALERT) the Peugeot crashes (we all know why it did) I heard some dummies in the seats next to me mumble: LOL, it crashed because it's a Peugeot! :sleeping-yellow: I for myself was excited to...

Hi RCZ fellows! As we all go through another scorching hot summer (I see almost daily 38-40°C over here in ze Germany) I want to take this opportunity to list few important things which might help your beloved RCZs. 1. When hot, try to keep the fuel level up to maximum. Brim her up. As fuel...

How stupid of me. I'm sorry for the mistake :greetings-wavingblue: I wonder if there are any differences in oil cooling between the THP200 and the R engine? Can you see any on pug's servicebox?

Does it say on the rear window sticker, this car has been taken away from drug dealers? Do I drive a type of drug dealer car? I thought those thugs choose cars like mercs and beemers :D

That's what they do. And they call it, smart design. I learnt from them too. I sometimes change a power point presentation slightly here and there and present this to the audience as something new outlining it as a smart change :greetings-wavingblue:

Not at all. Each time I take a ride in my parents' SUV I feel like driving a lorry :)

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Yes, agree. The missing solvent on the intake side (which fuel is, on indirect injection engines) is the whole reason for the carbon build up on intake and intake valves on DI engines. Now this very chemical treatment "simulates" an indirect...

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) So, my fellow RCZ brothers & sisters. The first round of decoke on my R is done. I opted for a chemical treatment first. It was due to the fact that access to the intake in our RCZ isn't the easiest one. Therefore we gave it a try with chemical...

There you go. This is on the R engine but I suppose it is the same on the THP 200 engine. A proper garage will correctly diagnose a failure of the oil cooler vs head gasket failure. As already mentioned HGF is rare on the THP. :greetings-wavingblue:

^ now that is what I'd call "a service for the community" :D

HGF is very unlikely on the THP engines. I assume you have a petrol engine. I'd rather tip for the oil cooler. The THP engines have an oil cooler bolted to the engine. Its purpose is to warm up engine oil during engine warm up phase and to cool down engine oil when required. The heat exchange...

To my knowledge there will be no more updates for the NG4. 2016-2 is the last map update available for this system. RT6 is treated with never maps as it is used in far more Peugeots than the NG4 system.

I had a GPS device running at the same time. I must have a screenshot of the result somewhere. Will check for it. Decoke is set for coming week. We start with chemical treatment first. Then we will see if mechanical cleaning is required. I hope not cause this means costs, costs, costs.

2018.1 maps for the NG4? Can you confirm that? Because on the official peugeot navigation page there is only 2016.2 (with data from end of 2015) as the most current one.

When you reach 155 MPH, both on the matrix display and on the speedo, both stop to move. The car still accelerates as you see the rev counter to advance. But the speedo stops completely. But there is a quirk on the matrix display. Following: when you go beyond the 254 kmh or 155 mph mark, and...

Over 900 km of autobahns and B roads in under 6 hours incl fuel stops. That is fast :mrgreen: Don't try this at home :wave: My RCZ R did 167 MPH flat out. Power-wise I'm still on the stock engine.

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Yep. Pictures are a must. I have an endoscope with a recording device so I could use it if they do not supply any devices. But from what they told me over the phone, they provide this kind of service for customers. Meanwhile I also started to add...
