    Intake valves walnut blast . . .

    At 85,000 kilometers, I took the RCZ to Eurotune, Miamie, Gold Coast. They do walnut blasting. Pics were taken before and after, and while the after pics look like a brand new display, the before pics were not that bad at all. Minor build up. I recall my Pug Mechanic telling me that the 2nd...

    PUG1OFF Light Weight Flywheel

    The new clutch and new PUG1OFF light weight flywheel is now installed. Things noted: Noticeable improved acceleration in 1st, 2nd and a bit in 3rd gears. Slows down quicker when taking foot off accelerator - I like this, especially going down some hills. Softer clutch engagement and a touch...

    Rear left wheel - toe really bad . . .

    Oh dear, the RCZ slid on new diesel at a round about and thumped its rear left wheel into the curb . . . Wheel is off to be revived. Initially the steering wheel was pointing to the right. With ABS warnings on and off . . . Fix for that: Recalibrated the steering wheel. Did wheel alignment...

    Prince engine . . .

    I see that PSA has continued to develop the Prince engine, even after BMW dropped it from their line-up. The engine is now in great shape. I have two of them. A 2010 THP150 that caused a lot of dramas, but I persevered. And the 2013 THP200 in my RCZ, which is on song.

    Sat Nav display

    The sat-nav screen was playing up. Would break down, go blank, come back on, etc. So today I replaced it with a 2nd hand unit from eBay. Very easy job. Now works a treat. Tip: Make sure you get a display that matches your radio head unit. Mine is a RT6

    RCZ P1338 code

    Got the code. Engine was running rough on three cylinders. All kinds of reasons for this code. As I have a cheapie diagnostic reader, it does not go further in supplying info. Anyhow, changed the pencil coil on Cylinder #2. Problem still there. So I changed the other three pensil coils and...

    RCZ and The Beechmont Road, Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia.

    As I live at the top of this road, not far from when the rider stops, the RCZ loves it. Tyres last about 18,000 miles.

    Using oil dip stick

    Here dudes. Forever use it right . . . Mine is the top one. When oil is just under the 2nd silver notch, it is full. You need to roll it horizontally over a cloth quickly after withdrawal.

    Losing coolant . . .

    Losing 500 mill of coolant a week now. Been two weeks. Replace filler cap and no improvement. Going to my Master mech next week for a coolant system pressure test. I'll advise. Also, it is not the cylinder head, as I changed to oil and all is normal.

    Coolant bottle warning . . .

    RCZ Mk2 THP200 Well, though no codes, the warning message constantly came up: 'check coolant level'. And the coolant level is perfect. So I deduced it must the the sensor in the bottle. Not easy to find exact part, but found one in Spain (used) and fitted it today. Fingers crossed. Bought...

    Spark Plugs for the RCZ

    I only use NGK plugs. Latest plug from NGK is ILZKBR7B-8G. Use only these now. From eTuners: Ignition Ignition coils The stock coils will generally not fail. They are very reliable. But make sure you never expose them to humidity or water and they will be good for life. If you wash your...

    RCZ pop-up SatNav display screen.

    Also on 308, 3008, etc. The LCD display started to flicker, blur and go blank, every time I activated it. Phoned my ace Pug mechanic on the Gold Coast (Wayne Botha - 0413 942 026). He advised I needed a new cable from radio to display. However, he had fixed a few by removing the display and...
