Hi guys and gals. Recently acquired a beautiful white RCZ in what I can only describe as near perfect condition. In the last week however, it appears to have developed a typically Peugeot electrical issue with a range of symptoms. The car is still under warranty, but I'd like to have an idea of what the issue could be before I start mucking about with that kind of stuff. So if someone recognises the fault and could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms are;
Battery Charge/electrical supply fault, with STOP message. Seems to come and go at random, sometimes stays for the entire journey. No effect on performance.
Idle drops a couple of hundred revs occasionally, car vibrates quite badly. Random.
Economy mode on first key turn, completely random.
First thoughts are a bad ground or that box on top of the battery, but would like to know if anyone has experienced anything similar.
Should probably mention I've checked battery and alternator voltage and it's all OK. I've also checked for fault codes, and there's no indication of any problem being detected. Although, the fuel rail pressure does seem to drop to around 200 or so, but very briefly, nanosecond briefly. So, not sure if that's a sensor thing.
Thanks, Ja.
