Greetings from South Australia

Hey everyone, got my RCZ a month ago and I am located in South Australia. Well within first few months I had to replace timing chain as there was an error code. And many other little issues I have been tackling myself . Drains my pocket but Well, it's a gorgeous car and I am not going to give up yet.

Hi there and welcome to the forum, don't give up on your RCZ now it's got a new owner like you who is going to look after her she should look after you keep topping up the oil as the THP engine drinks a lot but if you keep a eye on it you should be fine
Drive safe and stay lucky

thank you for your kind words. i will need loads of help from you guys. its almost a regretful buy and i sometimes want to give it up and just get a reliable boring Corolla. I am fed up to that point sometimes with this. Its just a beautiful car and an amazing drive

Beware of misleading fault codes. Find yourself a true expert so you don't follow false leads. BTW I bought my R from a guy in Port Lincoln and had it trucked over to Melbourne. Good luck sorting your car!

Oh wow. That's amazing to hear. I haven't seen 2 more than mine here in South Australia

I have one intermittent fault which I can safely ignore. "Battery charge or electrical system faulty." Probably a faulty sensor. The culprit could be the battery protection unit. Pretty expensive to fix and it might not fix it anyway. Stupid sensors lol.

Ooh those things bothers me as I'm worried it will lead to something big
