I understand that each one of us has its own favorites among cars. That also applies to testers. They never are neutral in their views/reviews even if they claim otherwise. So it is absolutely OK to criticize and like/dislike some details on a car. Or the whole car. I rather have a bit biased...

As an owner I'm somehow biased about my car but putting me aside, I never had a passenger who wouldn't praise the interior's styling and material quality. Even by fanatic Audi fanboys. Also during night driving the interior illumination found approval by most passengers. No one claimed it is...

Smoke coming out of exhaust is never a good sign. Except for 2 stroke engines. No matter if on cold or warm engine, there should never be white smoke coming out of exhaust (the other white smoke is just water, but that is fine). First I would check the EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation pipe +...

Is the EGR working correctly? Maybe some cleaning would help as well.

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Thank you! As you can see my parting with the RCZ R already takes almost half a year :lol: . Not an easy step, I can tell you. I would never have thought the RCZ will get so close to my heart. I will do anything in my power to keep her as long as...

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Hi fellow RCZ-enthusiasts, As time fly, my parting with the R comes closer. I have reported here about my planned successor to the R and, among others, pointed to the new Peugeot 508 GT 225. This option is now off the books. Peugeot in Germany is...

Thank you very much for the feedback! :greetings-wavingblue:

The injectors are a very unlikely the source of those issues. They are pretty reliable. First, I would give them a proper cleaning and then see what's next. It is a lot of stuff to be removed before you get to them. And then it is always the question with an older engine, if they will come free.

Sounds interesting. I found those files on the net ready to be DL and installed. They claim, TMC does not work anymore when those updates are uploaded to the NG4 system. Can you confirm? Why I am asking? For me TMC works just fine and helps to reroute when traffic jam ahead.

Give it another try. I attempted to update the NG4 via USB, SD card and DVD. DVD proved to be the most reliable

I recommend you apply the so called tune up method to the inlet ports. This method is the least invasive and least costly as nothing needs to be taken apart on the engine side. Have a look here for reference when applied to my RCZ: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9577&start=220#p137009 I would even pour...

Don't worry. Crash sensors for driver's and passenger airbags sits further down the crash structure. They have to be fixed to the energy absorbing front beams.

I had a chat with the boss about stage 1 on my R. They do it on rolling road. Output is about 280 bhp. They claim it is a healthy number for the engine and the gearbox/clutch. But as of now it doesn't make any sense to apply it to my car as I'm parting with my R soon (summer?).

I agree. Go for cat back and put some proper software on the ECU. I wonder if Comkotes provide support for the RCZ R?

If I may add my 5 cents here. During several occasions where the exhaust system has been taken apart on my R each and every workshop and tuning company told me the downpipe and cat is big enough. A company racing the RCZ R and 308 R in the german VLN (something like the BTCC but including also...

I recall them being totally different. In the RCZ R they deployed a different down pipe. Bigger openings, more flow thru. Thus the catalytic converter is different too. It is a unique part for the RCZ R.

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Today I swapped for summer tyres and shot the picture you see below. What you see is a top-down view of the front disc. It has the typical coloring (rather orange than brown) and cleanness of a disc which works at high temperatures. It also lacks the...

Coils failing is a common thing on those engines (like on most engines nowadays). I suggest you swap those coils and then go for a run/check. It is the cheapest fix. It is recommended to swap all coils at once as usually they fail one after the other. And you want to have the same ignition power...

Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) MPG I rarely post about MPG on my R. I know I can do about 250 miles on a single fill when driving very fast on autobahns (doing 130-140 MPH all the time). And that is all I need to know about my R. Now what you see below is a recent MPG I got...
