    Brake upgrade from Normal to RCZ R brakes

    You can also put the 200HP brakes with larger diameter discs than the HDI and they still fit on 18" rim

    P0299 & P2263

    Part #9, That little cylinder it has is a filter and it may be clogged, it's not in the same place as the 156HP, you'll have to look under it to find it. No need to change it, just clean it. #8 is the turbo solenoid

    P0299 & P2263

    The photo is from a 156HP but I suppose it will be similar in 200HP. On the arrow there is a small tube that comes from the turbo solenoid valve with a filter on the end. What finally solved P2263 for me is cleaning that filter. The mechanic had also changed previously the turbo solenoid valve.

    Air induction kit

    I totally agree, also those filters inside the engine compartment catch hot air, which is less dense, and therefore power is lost. As you can see in your car, the original system has ducts to take in fresh air from outside. The intake systems of the cars on origin are not usually so badly...

    VVT solenoid input voltage

    How long has it been since you changed the oil ?, dirty oil can cause these problems. Change it more often than the manufacturer says. The VVT is actuated by oil pressure.

    Hard suspension

    If softer springs are used, the suspension would easily reach bottom end with impacts, the result would be even worse. The original car has the proper springs for the suspension travel. Also if the shock absorbers are worn it can increase the discomfort. Hard suspension is intrinsic to a...

    Which battery should I get???

    2 hours ? Where you have had so much problem, I am convinced that in 15 minutes I will do it. I've taken it out and back several times to get better access to other parts, like the petrol high pressure pump.

    Battery cover removal

    It is not necessary to disassemble those terminals with nuts, as in the video, the fuse container can be separated enough without disconnecting terminals. The cover swings up. When you place the new battery, put it as far forward as possible towards you, if it is fixed further back you will...

    VVT solenoid input voltage

    Several solenoids in the THP motor are not controlled with an on-off 0-12V signal but progressively with PWM (power width modulation). The ECU controls the solenoid valve depending on the revolutions, sensors etc. The VVT and the turbo control solenoid valves work like this and I think the high...

    Hello & help needed!

    A 215/55 17 wheel from a Peugeot 407 fits perfectly in the space without raising the boot floor. The tire external diameter is close the same. The screws are also compatible with the RCZ. I think that to design the RCZ they took advantage of parts of the 407 But it can only be mounted on the...

    Engine Fault Needing Repair

    Those wired readers are not compatible with all car brands. Get this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MMOBIEL-OBD2-Scanner-Bluetooth-Android/dp/B0B9YPPTLC/ref=sr_1_5 and with the free Torque app in your phone you will see the codes and erase it too. Verified that it works in RCZ

    Recommended oil ?

    If oil consumption is a main factor for carbon build up on intake valves, then in my case using 5W40 it has been reduced by half. Although in my case the oil consumption occurs mainly in the turbo. I know due the throttle body is leaking oil. Perhaps the detergent effect of the oil can clean...

    Recommended oil ?

    I know it's not the recommended oil but 5000 km ago I put Total Quartz 9000 5w40 on it. Complies with PSA B71 2296 standard. Oil consumption has been halved compared to 0W30 and the engine is now quieter and runs smoother. The car has done 125000 km

    Timing chain tensioner bolt replacement 156bhp

    Timing chain tensioner bolt replacement 156bhp

    After reading here that some forum user had done it, I changed the tensioner 3 months ago in my 156 hp without locking anything and the result was very good, a little rattling that I had occasionally when cold has disappeared. Put a container underneath, when the tensioner is removed about...

    How hard is it to take apart the center tunnel?

    Whay the manual says: There are more steps to disassemble the entire central body, but I think that with that you will have enough

    powder coated rcz r wheel's

    On there is a lack of material it can be added with TIG welding, there are workshops that do it, even large bites.

    Window stuck.

    I think you would have to remove the door panel and then clean the guides with a cloth and alcohol. Water does not dissolve sap. But better to have it done by a workshop, to remove the panel correctly you have to use a special tool to release the clips. Don't use WD40! it would be greased and...

    Is a default to flip up/retractable screen conversion possible?

    I remember in this forum one who made the modification that you want, he changed the center console but his car did not have the cables to connect the navigation buttons and therefore they did not work. I don't remember if he managed to fix it.
