Hi and welcome to the forum :greetings-wavingblue:
There are loads of petrol RCZ’s for sale over here that have 80K-90K and are running great so maybe by that mileage the usual problem components have been changed or remedied.
You don’t here as many problems with the diesel admittedly so if...
Happy Christmas and best wishes to all the RCZ community and thanks to all who have made 2018 a great year of events and meets :clap: look forward to catching up in 2019 :beer:
Sorry to hear of your problems and I hope you can get to the bottom of your latest problem, Peugeot did release a revised tensioner as the original wasn’t doing its job properly so this may have been a precautionary replacement by a previous owner. if the car hasn’t previously had a timing kit...
Congratulations! Sounds like you’ve got yourself a beauty there that’s been well cared for and looks like your RCZ has found itself great new Home and true enthusiast owner sounds like a match made in heaven :dance:
I’ve had the rocker cover gasket changed by my dealer and it’s still leaking looks like the plastic cover must warp and the only solution is to replace it. :crazy:
I used to use wynns engine flush years ago never tried it in a modern engine though :eusa-think: My oil does look quite clean when dipped so I don’t think I would use a flush.
Hi and welcome to the forum :greetings-wavingblue: I’m presuming your running a petrol RCZ? So there are too many possible causes of limp mode to mention to be honest you need to get a diagnostic check done to point you in the right direction. :thumbup:
Luckily I haven’t had to replace any coil packs yet but you can buy NGK coil packs from eBay for around £20 each, NGK are a trusted brand and I wouldn’t have any worries using them, but someone may know better? :eusa-think:
That’s certainly a different badge :eusa-think: never seen that one before, lots of owners prefer to de badge and it does give a cleaner look, but that’s the thing with RCZ ownership it’s all about personalisation :thumbup:
Yes does sound like possible sticking valves due to a buildup of carbon common problem relatively easy to sort possibly in the region of £250-£400 mini specialists may be cheapest.
Could be a multitude of things, possibly carbon build up on intake valves what’s the mileage? And once warm does the car run fine?
A failing HP fuel pump usually throws up a misfire on #4 cylinder.
