Good Morning all, Does anyone know what the ohms reading range for a good VVT solenoid should be, I have recently had to pull them to clean the filters after code P0012 appeared. On checking the ohms resistance one was reading 8 ohms whilst the other 3.9 ohms, I suspect one may be defective. I...

Hi Pedro, Thanks for your diagrams I have those as well, according to Peugeot they have altered the tool which I have but can not insert it anywhere to compress the plastic retaining clip to allow the servo rod to be released from the brake pedal bar, its frustrating its so close to coming...

Afternoon All, My wife's RCZ 200 has a blow diaphragm in the servo, hissing sound in the passenger footwell and small amount of fluid oh and rock hard brake pedal !!. I know servos dont usually go but this one has and at the moment its been a pain. I have a replacement servo and the Peugeot...

Hi Pedro, Thanks for your message. The auto electrician has been back again and has been able to get the car started by bypassing the battery control module using his own power supply. Strangely this has positively effected the battery control module and now the car starts from the cars own...

Hi Pedro and Neil thanks for your posts. I have tried your old trick Pedro and there is no bleeping when the key is in the off position having tried to start the engine and the door is opened, I have tried both keys and it is the same, I am not sure if each key has the same code or different...

Hi Guys and Gals, I woke this morning and had obviously been thinking this issue over whilst asleep. I am sure that the issue is due to the 'Economy Mode Active' issue that has been the one constant, this initially appeared after the thermostat was replaced, and before the battery was...

Hello Guys and Gals, The saga goes on, I was able to remove the VVT solenoid by using a jubilee clip tightened on the end of the solenoid casing, I used the clip as a point to leaver it out against a conveniently placed manifold stud, it came out first time with a distinct pop. In my case it...

Hi Jumper, Thanks for the post and your photographs, I am sure its just the cramp space and big hands thats causing the problem, it is moving side to side but I just cant break it free. I may have to get a jubilee clip over the top of the casing, that way I will be able to get more leverage...

Hello Guys and Gals, Having changed the thermostat on my wife's RCZ earlier this month and conducted a BSI reset all the lingering fault codes disappeared and that was my first installment of life under the bonnet of an RCZ completed. 3 days ago she returned from work parked on the drive which...

Im really not sure why they make cars so complex electrically, the battery housing is way over engineered making a simple battery change problematic and time consuming I'm sure its solely to forces people down the dealer route, also a form of built in obsolescence. I have always done my own car...

Hi Pedro, Thanks for that. I have been able to solve the problem with a BSI reset it took three goes but eventually worked, on the first reset the two codes I gave you below disappeared to be replaced with '05FF BSI Internal fault' which on the third reset it also disappeared as did the Economy...

Hello Guys and Gals, I have changed the thermostat what a joy that was, 6 outlets on one thermostat housing the designers must have gone into overdrive with that design, everything is connected up ready to start with extra coolant in hand. Inserted the key and 'Economy Mode Active' light...

Thanks Pedro you are a star, I wasn't sure if I had to fully remove the metal clip, now I know I will hopefully be able to remove it, I didn't want to break the pipe the thermostat end fits into as that would be a nightmare to replace running behind the rear of the engine. Take care all Bob

Good afternoon Guy and Gals, My wife loves her RCZ its fast and stylish, its developed a problem often discussed on here loosing coolant but nothing evident. Recently the 'Top up coolant' warning has been on more than its been off and has got worse over the last week, I rarely drive it so I...
