I'll spare everyone the details about the infamous timing chain/tensioner on the mk1 RCZs.
Having just picked up my 2012 Asphalt over the weekend I've noticed it does seem loud - like a diesel - for 30 seconds on start up and settles at 1200 revs and then settles down. Driving around I have no problems and no engine light on the dashboard (yet).
After having a look around the forums I'm not sure if I'm worrying too much or whether I should be going back to the dealers to ask whether it's covered under warranty. As it's a well known problem, coupled with the fact that the chain/tensioners are replaced with a modified part, this should be a simple open and shut case as there is evidence on the forums here of Peugeot admitting to it being a poor part.
As I've had no problems come of it yet it's more a case of me nipping it in the bud before problems arise further ahead. Thoughts anyone?
