Hi everyone from sunny Tasmania.....I have a 2010 RCZ 62kms and appear to be having same issues as lots of peops on here with HPFP 😕😕
Does anyone know if the equivalent Cooper S r56/7 engine ???? They are far cheaper than the Peugeot one.
Cheers Chris

You will need to cross reference the original part Nos if yours is the 200GT like mine I could only get a Peugeot Original pump but that was from ebay at £340.00

There was an accessory available from dealers in the U.K. that gave DAB capability. I would imagine there might well be an aftermarket version available.

The R came without a standard DAB as per the test drive web sites so maybe it was upgraded at some point perhaps ?


Mine is one of the very last cars. Maybe it was fitted later in the production run?

It must be factory fit. It works as normal on the head unit and there is no additional aerials. DAB needs a different aerial so the head unit must have already had it.


Looking of Autotrader there is two cars showing DAB as an option. A 2014 and a 2015 car.

DAB was an optional extra. There is a hidden DAB aerial in there somewhere...

I've had it since April 2019.

It's a 65 plate car.

What's the programme upgrade?

You've got a very dusty dash Kerr.
Don't post those pictures on DW, you'll give some poor soul a heart attack.

Puppies are more important.

Hi all,
I own a 2012 RCZ automatic (since summer 2022) with the Harman Becker NG4 set. Dutch car and original. Updated the navigation system with the software from this forum.
Is the DAB+ option available for this set? And how to select it?
We have 5 multiplexes nationwide and one local, so this would be a big improvement.

Thanks.

Those who have tried to get into the system have potentially met a brick wall as per Peugeot software & lets face it the radio is shit in all models my youngest son ripped his BMW system out & fitted a new set up when I asked him to do mine he said a big NO as its a Pug so live with it !😅
