I have attempted on this matter. But there was no tuner around which could provide me with a reliable mapping which works in all conditions. Especially at full load for longer period.
Mostly they offer what I call "weekend car tuning". It works for the occasional burst on your Sunday drive...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
... which is why often the insurance rates for Pug cars are higher than for German cars. The people car producer deliberately prices parts on the car's front and rear much lower than competitors. Makes the repair costs in case of accident lower thus...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
Going by Chris' pictures (Thank you, Chris!) the part I'm looking for is the whole black part at the R's front.
When you look at the picture I posted above, it is the whole black shiny plastic at the front.
The blueprints show it is a one-piece part...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
I have a kind request to the forum members here:
Some of you have access to the parts catalogue of Peugeot RCZ. You are able to look up prices and if certain parts can be ordered separately.
Therefore I have a question:
Is the black front grill on...
In ze Germany you see few RCZs from time to time. I spot about 10-20 of them during a year. Mostly during the summer time as they are driven as pure summer cars.
In other countries to which I traveled with my RCZ it was like that:
Switzerland - 1-2 of them spotted there
France - none (!)
NL -...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
I already was and still am able to show the R greatness to all of our kids. They love it! They are all in total 6 of them from like 2 years old up to 11 (not all of them are mine, I got brothers and sisters). And there is always the fight about who...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
I'd love to take the new 508 GT 225 but they got some production issues delaying the availability for another 6-9 months. By another 9 months I'd be in the market for the upcoming 508 R Hybrid. Which will definitely be the better choice.
Then I...
Re: +100.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
Yes, indeed.
But my days with the lovely R are slowly coming to an end. Soon I will put her up for sale. Maybe even before xmas time. Sad, sad times.
Re: Pink dried dusting to engine block (on plastics and meta
Nothing of any bigger concern. Just more heat will crawl on to the bonnet. I once measured a surface temperature of way over 100 °C on the outside of the bonnet, right where the turbo sits beneath. Good for some scrambled eggs of the...
I have organized this kind of Alp trips 10 years ago, so I let me tell you, I know what Dan has to go through to make it :greetings-wavingblue:
The biggest challenge still waits for him, the French Alps.
Re: Pink dried dusting to engine block (on plastics and meta
They will need to replace the whole metal box wrapped around the turbo. There is no repair kit available for the insulation part only.
Re: Pink dried dusting to engine block (on plastics and meta
Yep, normal for the R engine. It comes from the heat insulation inside the heat shield around the turbo.
When the pink stuff is gone then you know the insulation is gone as well and soon you will need to replace the heat shield.
Re: Winter Tyres - Syron Everest 1 Plus .... are they any go
Even the worst winter tyres are miles better then best summer tyres when driving in winter.
So basically it is down to your driving preferences. If you do not drive a lot during winter, you can go with some cheap winter tyres. If you...
