You’ll have the updated/improved tensioner in a 2015 model so I don’t think changing just the tensioner will be beneficial or preventative. If anything if you want to do preventative maintenance, do the chain, plastic guides and tensioner but with your mileage I don’t think you need to.

Did all derivatives of the RCZ have power folding door mirrors? I had a floppy door mirror and got one off eBay but replacement only had one plug where as the original has a second plug which I’m assuming is for the folding.

I always get some spare clips when removing the door cards. I either end up breaking a clip or two or have to replace some from a previous removal where they couldn’t be arsed to. Part number is 9341.PF and cheap on eBay. The foam is easy enough to remove if you use a sharp thin blade on the...

My 156 has front and rear sensors as well as leather interior so not sure that’s a giveaway. Engine cover is different though but plenty of aftermarket options out there

A pic of the engine bay will be a dead giveaway so if you post a pic it can be confirmed. The intercooler pipes run differently

My 156 has started doing this ever so slightly. It’ll be the valve stem seals which need doing.

There are two pumps if you have headlight washers.

Is there any difference in the way it runs if you unplug the VVT lift motor?

Have you tried to wind the VVT lift screw all the way in either direction? I think it’s a 4mm Allen key on the back.

Interested to hear how you’re getting on with your issue.

I remember reading somewhere (possibly even on the forum) that when the lift gear is worn it’s a cylinder head replacement as it’s all in one or not available as a separate part. I found the below video showing the gear being tested using a scan tool. The engine shown is the non turbo 1.6vvt...

Maybe silly, but did you plug the electrical connector back into the hpfp when you refitted it?

Yes they are the same

I have a few sets of NOS Pagid front brake pads and sensors for the 200BHP RCZ if anyone is interested. The boxes are tatty and /or damaged. £35 per set including postage or you’re welcome to collect in Bromley for £30 if you’re local.

You don’t need to lock up the cams or crank to change the tensioner however it’ll be a good idea to check if the chain has stretched with the tool that is in the locking set. It could also just need an oil change with good oil if it hasn’t in a while

Check the 10A fuse F6 in the engine bay, the 25A F4 fuse over the battery and the 40A midi fuse F10 also over the battery. From there move to the wheel sensors as Pedro suggests. You’ll need a way to read the codes to quickly identify which sensor is faulty.

What is the problem you’re having? Airbag light? From your first picture it makes me think it’s referring to the two impact sensors under the bonnet hinges.

5l/100km or 47mpg sounds good if not great to be fair. Are you sure there is a problem?
