Does the temperature reach it's normal level? If not, or too slowly: broken thermostat.

I changed to winter wheels a few weeks ago and haven't noticed the full lock judder since.

It's my understanding that R's run a bit rough the first 30 seconds or so. Mine does so as well, this is perfectly normal. Probably due to the euro6-spec RCZ-R was talking about. I've also seen reports of the HPFP failing, so this is probably also not out of the ordinary. I hope it's fixed...

Although I normally drive very relaxed, I too have done some fast driving in Germany. But I didn't go faster than 200kph. I'm not used to these speeds... and although the R's chassis is very well set up, I was startled by some bumps in the road which seemed to let the car step sideways a bit. So...

The R is surprisingly economical. I'm using some hypermiling techniques on it, as I'm used to that with our other car and I average over 41 MPG. Occasionally I floor it but most time I just cruise on the highway with the speed limiter set to 115kph. Here's my current consumption...

Looks like a tight fit!

it's clearly a tire-issue, in combination with temperature. On the stock tires, my R does this in winter a lot. In summer it's non-existent. I have winter-wheels which I will mount in november or so, so I'm curious how they will behave. In any case it is not a bug, just a feature. :)

If swapping sensors is a nono, then you should swap the front bumper. But that also means removing the decals, or swapping over the bonnet as well. Do you realize this consequence?

It's already pretty high... I'm a tall guy and I like an upright driving position. Almost all cars I've ever driven have this problem one way or the other... But I'll check. Apparently on other pugs the sound originates from a very small speaker in the steering column. Maybe that can be...

Yeah, but when trying this, it's very easy to trip the three-signal switch... Just a louder sound would be nice. The manual states the sound will get louder when driving over 50mph (or something like that) and after 20 seconds of continuous blinking, but I'd like the sound to always be loud...

I know I have a small hearing deficiency on one ear, and I know the R makes more noise than a standard RCZ, but do any of you also experience difficulty to hear the turn signals bips? It has happened to me more than once that I find the signal on, because I pushed it too far or because I just...

So either removal of pipe 10 and 11, or clogging up pipe 11 with some soude deadening material shuts up the system?

Holding down the clutch for an extended period of time is not advisable. This creates extra tension on the throwout bearing. At stoplights, I always slow down (without shifting down) to about 1000 rpm, and then I shift to neutral and do not depress the clutch any more. When the light turns...

Your wheel bearings will suffer a lot more and will fail sooner, to name one of the cons. :-)
