hi guys,
As promised before I went to a company to remove the 155mph limiter on my RCZ R.
I always considered this limiter as useless and stupid (why limiting at 155? why not 140 or 151? why even limiting?). But most of all I always wanted to know how fast can the RCZ R go when unleashed.
Now...
I have plugged in the ScanGaugeII to my RCZ R OBD. I also wanted to learn about the water temperature. And be prepared for some strange readings which at the end, arent strange. The R engine runs higher water temperatures due to Euro6. You will see values way beyond 100°C when driving. It also...
Honestly? Waste of resources and time. Only because the mount "looks like burnt" (the heat under the hood would never be high enough to actually burn it. Would it be, many other parts would be gone earlier than this mount) it doesn't mean it is faulty.
Having watched the series from the old days till today I don't think Clarkson has obejctions on Peugeot cars in general. I rather think he is right about the mediocre Peugeot cars of the 2000s into 2010s. The years before that proved that Peugeot is capable of delivering exciting cars. And since...
Yes, it has it. There is an electric water pump operating after engine shut down. It circulates water around the turbo housing (bearing) to prevent from oil burning on those hot turbo ball bearings. Usually that is sufficient to prevent from carbon residue build-up on those ball bearings which...
One important hint about popping up the bonnet:
I dont know if the HDi has it too, but the R is equipped with an engine bay temperature sensor. When it senses heat is rising under the bonnet, it will speed up the radiator fans (independently from the AC) until that temperature drops.
Now...
In general, Android offers so called trusted pairing between two devices (in your case, the phone and your car). Check the Android settings. As soon as you set it this way those two devices will pair automatically when in sufficient distance.
I have no issues to hook up my newest Android 6.0...
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Thumbs up for setting up and executing such event! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I was not able to attend (wasn't on the confirmed list either) because right now I'm travelling a lot abroad. But any RCZ meeting within 1000km of my home I can make according to...
Re: 30.000 miles with the RCZ R (my story)
OK, thanks!
The first Rs arrived by Oct 2013. So I'm dragging it by at least 8-9 months :D which equates to at least 18k miles in my case. 18+52 would make now over 70k miles on my R (I tend to do less miles during winter time). If I received the car...
