what a nice swap. welcome to the R family ! :greetings-wavingblue:

Re: +70.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) Not every turbo failure has the same symptoms. Smoke comes only when the ball bearings and seals are gone. Yes, oil consumption slowly went up but never to critical levels. My guess is the compressor wheel is done. We will see.

Re: +70.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) I can tell when I see the turbo

Re: +70.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) insufficient turbo pressure

Re: +70.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) MAJOR UPDATE (drum roll): The turbo on my R is done. Yes, at about 80.000 miles the turbo decided to not push at 100% any more. The usual R owner wouldn't even notice the issue as it only occurs at +140 MPH. Everything below that speed works just...

Sounds like only SUVs to be offered for the next years. And maybe a boring, bland 508 to fit into the company car scheme. For me it will be then goodbye to the Peugeot brand after owning just one car, the RCZ R. That is a pity because the design of any new Peugeot is beautiful and I'd love to...

It did go 235 on the speedo. Somewhere on my HD I must have pictures of this 156THP. I remember doing a car shooting with it in a rural area back then with my first DSLR. EDIT: My memories blinded me, I'm sorry. It was close to 225 than 235. Attached the speedo pic, taken with my old school...

The running costs on the R are significant higher than on the 200THP. Just take the very expensive front brakes. Replacing the discs and the pads is close to 2000 quids at the stealer.

I have driven: - the 1gen RCZ 156 THP for a week - the 2gen RCZ 200 THP for a day Driven both cars at almost all speeds, up to 235 kmh for the 156 THP and up to about 220 kmh for the 200 THP. The 1gen 156 THP doesn't fell at home at those speeds. You feel the front wobble. But as we talk here...

"Does the Torsen differential limit the possibility of losing control when changing direction?" It depends. When you look at the way how a Torsen LSD works expecting from it a kind of "additional ESP" is pretty far fetched. Especially at high speeds where the wheel speed difference dimishes (or...

except for the RCZ R. It doesn't have overboost

Hi guys! After I went through the struggle of a failing high pressure fuel pump on my RCZ I might give you some hints on how to anticipate a failing (but not yet failed) fuel pump. There is a simple test each of you can do: - Start the engine and warm it up. It doesn't matter if you do that...

Re: 30.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story) UPDATE: Apparently not only the coils were done but also the second fuel pump. Those issues I had where the car struggled to accelerate beyond 130MPH started to show their ugly face also during cold starts. Engine run a bit rough and sometimes fired...

In Poland they sell them for about 500 GBP http://allegro.pl/peugeot-rcz-308-nawig ... 65354.html Some others offer repair for the NG4 for about 150 GBP http://allegro.pl/serwis-naprawa-ng4-rn ... 25352.html

How convenient the seats in RCZ are covered with leather :P

Sorry, I got no details about that.

Their age? 3 years old tyres degrading according to MOT? :roll:

The HD should be accessible via PC. If I'm not wrong that system is linux based.

Maybe I shall start a thread named "what was your lowest MPG ever". I'd fit in there :D

Having had a THP156 gen 1 RCZ for a week years ago and having pushed it to 140MPH I don't recall the spoiler to retract at above 120. I remember being it up there. And I remember the 156THP not being very sure-footed at those speeds.
