    Squealing brakes on R - Warranty job?

    The reason I would say is Peugeot wasn't prepared for the usual buyer to handle racing brakes on a daily car. They aimed high and they didn't miss. The brakes are just unbelievably good. You need to upgrade to some serious 400mm carbon discs to step up to another level. But most daily drivers...

    Squealing brakes on R - Warranty job?

    Yes. They are the same. The discs look different as they are not grooved as on the R. 308 owners complained about the squealing while braking so Pug changed the discs. It helped a bit but didn't cure it completely. It is not only down to the discs but to the whole brake system construction of...

    Squealing brakes on R - Warranty job?

    Can you please post the link to those alleged Pagid pads for the front R brake? As far as I know (I already went through 4 full sets of front brakes and discs, pads even more than that) there are no other pads available for R's front than those offered by peugeot. Those come from Ferodo. And...

    Maximum Range

    I had once 1000km range on the BC while cruising in France. But then I reminded myself that I drive an R, shifted from 6th to 3rd and gave it some beans to wake up the engine :dance: Range went down to 700km that instant.

    Quick Drive out 353 miles - fuel consumption RCZ R

    ha ha, thanks guys :greetings-wavingblue: All was happening with a safety net. I love speed but I love my life and that of other people even more. The R's chassis can handle a lot. Even if you might get into the occasional wobble thru a bend, it doesn't matter to the car's stability. You...

    Get your kicks on Route 66

    I do a lot of long journeys in my R. Just got back from another 2000 miles trip with +100 mph average. I just love to push the car at high speed. She feels very comfy and the powerful brakes are very assuring :greetings-wavingblue:

    RCZ-R air filters - replacement for Peugeot standard one

    K&N is a different piece of cake. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe will do. Yes, you have to unplug the MAP sensor. But there is no error as you do it while engine is off. Afterwards you start the engine and there is no difference software-wise to it. I have no modifications to my R. The stock...

    RCZ-R air filters - replacement for Peugeot standard one

    Have not seen any numbers on that. What I did was to blow the same amount of compressed air against the pipercross and stock filter. Both seemed to leak the same amount of air.

    Quick Drive out 353 miles - fuel consumption RCZ R

    Indeed. Times have changed. Germans tend to drive at 90-100 MPH these days. Once in a while you meet someone going faster than that. But even Porsche drivers never exceed 130 MPH. When I'm on my typical autobahn run, doing steady 120-140 MPH no one ever passes me. When you talk to the people...

    RCZ-R air filters - replacement for Peugeot standard one

    hi tianorth I once have swapped for the pipercross filter on my R. But after about 15.000 miles I removed it and replace with stock filter again. Why? There were absolutely no gains noticeable. MPG didn't change, acceleration didn't change. Nothing. So I went back to stock filter. Now the...

    Quick Drive out 353 miles - fuel consumption RCZ R

    You have two paths to head towards south thru Germany. Either you go Dunkirk-Brussels-Liege-Aachen and join the A4 and then advance to the A61 towards south. Or you turn south at Liege and join the A60-A1-A62-A6 towards Stuttgart. A4 and A61 are all the way speed limited to 120-130 kmh. Only...

    Quick Drive out 353 miles - fuel consumption RCZ R

    I only can tell about the older gen of TiTts, it couldn't at all. They are more close to 20 MPGs.

    My new 308 GTi

    Congratulations! Great daily driver this is. And yes, the brakes are "spiky". But you'll get used to it.
