Looking to buy a rcz diesel.

[Tweek73]

Hi all I'm looking into buying a diesel rcz and was wondering what to look out for? I had a 207 hdi GT, but that died due partly to the dpf and play on the turbo, I would very much like to avoid these problems this time. Any advice?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris I have two Hdi RCZs in my house and what is look for is the jacking points for damage also on the petrol RCZs, good service history as the RCZ hdi is a very robust engine and is in other peougeot models as based on the 308 happy hunting..

First off thankyou for the reply, I'm curious tho... are the jacking points a week area for rust? and if you don't mind me asking, as you have the hdi variant yourself, do you use any additive to keep the dpf clear?
Thanks
Chris.

They're made of cheese and if the car isn't raised correctly, they fold over.

Chris I have never put any additive in any of mine in the last four years or so just need to give them a good blast in lower gear to get dpf hot as to burn off the build up and keep them clean been OK...

My old 207 needed a fluid pouch... I cannot remember the name of it tho... fitted to the car,so just wanted to check if I needed it for the rcz.
Thankyou

If the gas station has two pumps, I go for the dearer, which has the additives.
Not had a problem (cross fingers) so far.

Yes mate that is right the Hdi have one that is good for around 150k before needs refilling and can be filled by a garage, as Stewart said fill up with my diesel plus has more additives and the Car running lot smoother no black soot/smoke...
