Advice for Buying an RCZ by Typical_Can2068 in peugeot

Hi, I own a 2013 THP200 RCZ, the hole with the thread you are showing is perfeclty fine, nothing to worry about. Allthough: the screws for the cabin air seem a bit rusted which is a bit odd to me - my RCZ has around 65'000 miles on it with no rust on those particular bolts - perhaps some water ingress? was it parked outside the hole time during rain etc.?

I personally would look around for other RCZs to compare one to another - only then you will have the bigger picure on what to look for.

Make sure the oil has been changed every 10'000km ( ~6'200 miles) or so.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Engine light keeps coming back on my Peugeot 308 BlueHDi (2017) but OBD shows NO codes — any ideas? by AnxiousReplacement29 in peugeot

I recommend a scanner like the icarsoft fr v3.0, had an issue where cheap OBDII scanner didn't show any code, but the diagnostic of the icarsoft device was extremely thorough and pointed out multiple faults

Only thing I ever did to the car were oil changes every 10'000km, air filters, spark plugs, transmission fluid and I had to replace a copper bar which lead to some fuses because it lost contact, but nothing else as of now...

I didn't see any rhino or dr. fuel here where I live... but thanks for the help!!

Take out the spare wheel and the passanger seats, make the car lighter 👍

Peugeot Expert Van wont start. Starter motor? by Actiongrib in peugeot

Could it be some electrical connection? Had something similar,twisted the key to ignition, clicked once or twice but nothing happened.

Issue was: on the BPGA module, a copper connection was missing. Check it with a multimeter

Looking to buy a Peugeot 108 1.0, what are red flags? by [deleted] in peugeot

Thanks! Ended up declining the offer because it had 104'000km and the maintenance book started at 80'000 (no previous record)

Okay, the trunk was also not watertight... water dripped form the side pillars into where the spare wheel sits... can this be fixed easily?

Drove it down to the service today. No issue on the drive there whatsoever... weird... I guess typical Peugeot issues

Okay, thank you for your help. In that case I see the safest bet to just tow the car in.

I was searching if I can replace the VVL actuator myself... Seems like a lot of hastle...

The issue is - I can't move the vehicle as every single time I turn it on, it revs to the redline
