Thanks for the info oil change all done.

Hi all can anyone tell me what the torque wrench setting is for the sump plug on a RCZ1.6 2013 GT THP 156 115KW model.

That’s quite an eye-opening video and the thing is we can and do Get some cold winters in this country And as you say I think the thicker oil is not going to get round to those all-important parts as quick and cause damage on those cold morning starts.

I Thanks flanners and everyone else for a their input My local Peugeot dealer wanted nearly £20 for an oil filter So £8.69 for the same genuine article on eBay is a no brainer

Just to say thank you to everyone who has commented with all help and information to my post regarding the oil and filter on my RCZ.cheers fisherman.

Is there a link to the eBay shop you use to get genuine Oil filters from as some of the sites say they are genuine original equipment but they’re not.

Hi plasma I fully understand where you’re coming from as each oil manufacturer will produce a grade of oil for all makes of cars, But certain manufacturers will pair up with certain car manufacturers To endorse their oils I’ve used Castro MagneTec over the years In quite a few different cars...

Regarding oil has anyone tried CASTROL MAGNATEC 0W-30 C2 as an alternative to the recommended TOTAL INEO FIRST 0W-30 C1 as I wondered would it help with the timing chain wear problems, as the Castrol MagneTec Suggests that it clings to all the surfaces after the oil has drained down overnight...

Hi plasma thanks for the info according to the service history the last four oil changes had 0W-30 The last of which used COMMA ECO-P 0W-30 I checked out the AECA code C3 that you had mentioned. But on both of the oils recommended in the handbook the TOTAL QUARTZ INEO ECS 5W-30 IS ACEA C2 And...

Hi Flanners Thanks for the information, is it the TOTAL QUARTZ INEO FIRST 0W-30 that you use or another brand of oil.if so you couldn’t send me a link or tell me the website that you bought your oil from. I’m a little bit sceptical sometimes buying stuff from the Internet, at least I know if...

Hi all thanks for all help I’ll take your advice remove the sump guard somehow And drain the oil properly, but I do like marmites idea about cutting a hole In the sump guard just under the sump plug. Also Can anyone suggest a good brand of oil and should it take 5w-30 or 0w-30 Looking back over...

Hi there thanks for the reply, I can’t remove the bolt at the front where it passes through the sump tray but also through the front bumper under tray, I think there a captive nut insert above in the front cross member which is just spinning round and I can’t get anything on it to stop it...

Hi there I am not sure what Make the brake pads are, but I know both the pads and the discs were new when fitted and the discs were not skimmed. I’m going to have to take it all apart and I might change the pads as a matter of course anyway but not Eicher one’s. apart from genuine ones what is...

Hi Pedro thanks again for all your help when the weather gets A bit cooler I’ll take them apart and see if I can see anything untoward.

Hi Pedro Sounds like you have the same brake pad set up as me, and as you say sounds like I’m gonna have to take it all apart check if all is as it should be, clean and replace. I read somewhere that you should use copper slip antiseizure paste on the back of the brake pads and on the ears...

Hi Pedro There are definitely none of these shims on the front pads The ears of the front pads are running straight on to the caliper definitely with no shims. The brake pads on the rear of the car do have these shims fitted and I believe everything on the rear is still the original, The car...

Hi Pedro That’s what I originally thought as on the back Of the car where the ears of the brake pads sit in the calipers there is a set of silver metal sprung shims which sit in the caliper and then the ears of the pads slide along them and I assumed these were to create a smooth surface for the...
