I know this isn't about the RCZ so mods feel free to delete this thread if it's nto allowed, but I am an RCZ owner who recently bought my SO a 2011 508 SW. It was all fine on the test drive and for a few days afterwards, but has now started showing some strange behaviour and I'm struggling to find any helpful info online.
It has a RT6 head unit with the same screen and software as my RCZ (with the large popup screen), but often when starting the ignition the screen comes to life and then goes black after a second or two. It's only the backlight, as in the right lighing you can still see the image on the screen and all the buttons still work, just no backlight. The night-mode button (crescent moon) has no effect other than turning the image on and off completely.
Also the air-con sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, the control panel functions normally, the lights come on, but no cold air on some journeys, on others it's icy cold as normal.
These two issues may be linked, as when the screen is not working the air con seems to not work, and yesterday she said she was driving along the dual carriageway and suddenly the screen came to life and at the same time the air-con started blowing cold. Coincidence or not? Additionally, drivers side central air vent is very weak compared to the rest, no matter what the airflow adjuster is set to.
I've tried multiple BSI resets, and when I do that the screen is fine on the first boot, stays on right up until you start the ignition and then the backlight goes out. If you repeatedly take the key out then put it in and turn to ACC it comes on and stays on maybe 1 in 5 times.
I'm running out of ideas, is this something only a Peugeot dealership will be able to diagnose?
Thanks for any insights anyone might have!
