Diagnostic codes after engine fault, repair required

[NynjaSquirrel]

Hi all,

I have a 2015 RCZ 200hp, and have recently had a problem where the car runs 'lumpy' after hot starts. From cold it's perfect, but if it sits for 15 mins and then I restart it, it's like the mixture is off, and it hunts and stutters.

Anyway - today the engine light came on, and I got the engine fault, repair required message. I popped in to my local garage and they put their diagnostic on it - with the following codes:

P1030 EODB

1062H/4194
1030H/4144

The guys at the garage had no idea what these were, they didn't show up on their diagnostic tablet with descriptions, just those were the codes from the car.

Has anyone any ideas? Much appreciated!!

Sooo disappointed! Fault codes P1030 & P1062

Cant say how upset i am about my RCZ - love love love my car - saved ages for it, finally got it 1year 8mnths ago 2011 plate... but have had nothing but trouble with it... August last year had engine fault - something to do with the injections - it just stopped, didn't start and didn't move...

Holy hell, I really hope not. The guy at the garage thinks it may be a solenoid that controls the oil, something to do with the adjustable camshaft, and the superfine filter that's around them gets fouled, causing them to stick. If it's as serious as the above, I'm boned!

I hope it something cheap and easy to fix. I had a similar scare couple of days ago. Engine fault, car in limp mode. Neighbour who has a diagnostic software said something about the cylinder. Then I took to private mechanic that primarily deals with BMW engines and I was lucky since it was only the ignition coil.

Please report back when you'll fix it. Just so that if anything similar happens to anyone in the future, he might have a roadmap what to check/do.

I will do. Luckily I'm not in limp mode so far, so I'm taking that as a good sign (fingers crossed). Going to call Peugeot today to see if they can give me any more info, then get it booked in for early next week.

Peugeot have said those codes indicate cylinder head, but it doesn't feel like that. I have no loss of power, not losing water. The problem only exists from a hotstart, and clears after maybe half a mile of hunting and stuttering. Itb feels more like a bad sensor or a solenoid that's screwing up the mixture. But keep your fingers crossed, and thanks everyone for the input.
