Now that is a very important detail in the whole story! Why wasn't that said right from the start? The whole swapping of LSD, clutch and flywheel is bonkers too. I mentioned it before. The workshop manager has just no clue.

Yes, they are. But there is always a "planned" lifetime of such parts. They will not go untouched for e.g. 300.000 kms. Maybe they would but not in my case where I push the engine constantly to the limit. Generally spoken this part is free of maintenance. But the question is always in which...

^ keep in mind that even the Pug Sport division does not push this engine beyond 310 bhp in their racing series. There are limits, even though it is a forged engine straight from the factory.

I'm closing on to 75k miles. No time belt on that engine. There is a chain. The chain is due for a change at about 120k miles. But I will ask for confirmation about that.

^ you have a quite interesting history of Pug cars! The 306 GTi with the 167bhp machine was on my list of cars during my Honda VTEC (CRX) period. Great engine, great car. Coming back to the LSD issue on the RCZ R: I wonder what is different on my car because it never suffers from this issue. It...

I also had the excellent GoodYear tyre on my R. I used those tyres way into the cold season (almost until Dec of 2014). Never had those issues as reported by you. Back then the tread was down to 2 or 3mm which makes the tread pattern more "hard" compared to a new tyre where the tread can "walk"...

when picking the JBL option you get the following: 10 channel amp with 240 watts 2 pcs mid-high range tweeters 2 bass speakers 2 rear speakers why the amp provides 10 channels for driving 6 speakers knows JBL only :lol:

Yes, the opal white was the only no-extra cost, non-metallic paint for the R

Yes, only as option for about 300 something euros. The funny thing is all the interior acoustic sensor are already in place. Maybe it just lacks the alarm ECU and that will it make work. I wouldn't say the car theft rate is low in Germany. To the opposite, I'd say it is on the rise. But this...

Alarm is not standard in "ze germany". It was available as option only. All the other bits and pieces like xenon, electric mirror, etc were of course on-board. From what I saw looking at some adverts most of the R over here were purchased with almost all options :greetings-wavingblue:

I own and drive a "german" RCZ R. The R had only those options to tick the boxes over here on the market: JBL sound system front PDC (rear is standard) WipCOM 3D navigation system (compared to the RT6 system as from stock) those leather seats you mentioned (ditch the seat heating and go for...

A high number of cars affected by an issue is not a guarantee the car maker will take care of it. We have seen this plenty of times. Even recently. Ford and their DSG boxes? VW? Almost every car maker. The only occasion where I do experience this effect on my R is when driving very slowly, on...

Welcome to the RCZ world!

Finger crossed it will get resolved! Pls keep us updated on it. Indeed, the R makes you want to drive, drive, drive...

Glad to see you're enjoying your R! The whole stuff with german car drivers, I know what you're talking about... just keep ignoring them. I mean, an Audi A5 diesel, ROFL, wtf? Just a waste of petrol to race it. There is no A5 diesel on the market that can keep with the R. But torque figures are...

Does it occur on both sides? Or only the driver's side? Have you or the Mech checked the door handle inside the car? I mean the chrome part you pull to open the doors. Because this is giving a signal to the electronics to lower and rise the window. I'd start there.

I'd never go for a piggy back system on the R. Problems included when pushing the engine to the limit.

That merc is horrible. But it doesn't surprise me going by the deteriorating quality of their products. If your R is doing the same then it is not OK, only by comparing it with my R. My R doesn't do that at all. It only occasionally jumps on wet concrete surfaces on full lock in crawl mode...

Can you please upload the video here or on YT, if convenient? I'd like to hear it too. In general the LSD in the R make some occasional clunking noises. But this is due to its design and the way how it works. The coldest I have been with my R was about -15°C and there were absolutely no...

Re: Tyre choice - feedback required. Is there a certain reason why you insist on such high load index (insurance-wise?)? My COC papers for the R says, a load index of 89 is enough for the car. Means, going for 92 is way enough. And there is already the overhead for topspeed of 155 included.
