mel said:has anyone yet been into dealers and asked about the mod for the mirrors to stop the water runing down the doors / or had the fix done ???...
Just been to local dealer for 1000 mile check up, i asked about the mirror issue and even took a photo in of the corroded mirror that has been shown on here, apparantly there is "no fix or no recall", in fact after some enquries the service manager came and said "not even any information on it".
So we are still in the dark on this, because there clearly is a problem as the photo shows, and even more frustrating is the email that FGRob received confirming the problem.
As for the rusting calipers, the advice was "Buy some caliper paint", but as i pointed out the caliper is not rusting, it's the springs/clips inside the caliper that holds the pads in place which are rusting, and after just 570 miles
Reply was : "Ah those parts are made from bare steel, so will rust, but you could paint them too" !!
Funny that because our Astra is 5 years old and theres no rusting on the calipers of that car or any other parts within the caliper.
Whilst i was waiting for my car to come out of the servicing bay i took a walk around sales, they had a used demonstrator RZC in there, it was all cleaned up and polished, and it looked very good but you could clearly see that the calipers and inside of the wheels were full of rust stains, so like the mirrors this is not an isolated problem.
I have started to think to myself how can Peugeot make a car like the RCZ with all it's toys and fancy bits and stunning looks, yet still come out cheaper than it's closest rivals, like the TT for instance, i really hope it's not by using inferior and cheap parts.
Time will tell. :eusa-think:
I really love this RCZ and want to keep loving it, but i hope it's not going to be an on/off stormy relationship. :roll:
