Definitely not a big end knock mate! Sounds like the water pump idler on the side, it will only kick in when needed to run the water pump, new electric idler, water pump pulley and aux belt and will be sorted. Take the tension off the auxillary belt and the noise will go
Absolutely spot on... as the follow on video went on to show.
Aux belt with chunks of the ribs missing. The noise is the belt jumping on the water pump pulley. I’ve done a few of these engines now with a similar noises . Just worth checking before jumping in head first 👍
that noise is the auxiliary belt tensioner knocking against the crank pulley due to the belt having sections of the ribbing missing. easy repair cost around £20.00 regards Kevin @ Palmer Works mini specialist centre Mereworth
as soon as I heard it, I said the exact same thing... My renault megane CC used to have the same issue.
@UCJlVmbuYgbifsxrpIO9mJmQ No it's not. Glad you're not my mechanic
@@68404 If you watched the second video, you will have seen the state of the belt.
Check the water pump pulley and the alternator belt if they are breaking up or missing bits from the rubber coating on the pulley then it sounds like bottom end knock.
Thank you for a very interesting video. Being a relative of the previous owner's family, I appreciate the respectful way the seller is referred to. I'll be eagerly watching updates and will be very interested to see how you give it a new lease of life for someone. Well done!
They are such decent blokes. Sometimes the jobs they undertake make me break out in a cold sweat- They are both smart cookies. Just don't tell them!
Mileage is an easy one, its been done in KM's and written in miles, can happen randomly when updated or checked, switches to km's so has to be switched back to miles, just do a km to miles conversion to check.
It also explains why the line in the graph follows the same trajectory on othe sides of the "dip". If it was clocked, the line after the drop in miles would sit lower.
Take the auxiliary belt off and release the ratchet mechanism that connects the crankshaft pulley to the water pump. They are prone to failing and sound like the engine is knocking away. The rubber around the water pump pulley breaks up and sounds horrendous. All the best and as always enjoy your videos 👍👍
If I remember correctly, it's the ' Prince ' engine also found in the Citreon DS3 THP. They do suffer badly with carbon build up on the valves. Also oil starvation issues, and cam chain tensioner problems. Such a same as a stunning car, I hope you save it.
Really wanted this to be a longer video cos this is gonna be intresting
Also I remember when Chris didn't want to be on camera....now its like he is the main presenter
Nice 1 guys
17 mins is long. not everyone has an hour to watch a video
@@BLX187 😂 how is 17 mins an hour
@@AndrewLomax80 ?
We have a RCZ 16THP Auto, 13 plate. A few years ago at 18k miles the timing chain started going out. We had it changed long before it others noted it. Timing chains for this engine go a long time before they are supposed to but yours sounds like the aftermath of a faulty timing chain. The car still turns heads. Great videos, thanks.
Also known as the 'Aldi TT' 🙂
Haha that’s a good one
Lots of great advice on the comments. What a great fan base you’ve built guys. Top stuff
As others have said, I would be checking round the aux belt and such, water pump, aircon pump and so on, I once had an aircon pumpo sound very similar that was knackered. Always worth a try just taking it off and giving it a minute run time.
Definitely try removing the aux belt & water pump tensioner. I’ve done loads of these and they’ve sounded exactly the same as the RCZ in the video!
in case you or anyone is curious, the engine that you didnt know about at 13:43 is actually a fiat FIRE 1.2 8v engine. same engine in the fiat 500, punto, panda, and ford ka. also the same engine i happen to have.
I said to my Mrs that’s a Fiat over my dinner. 😊
Take the auxbelt off, had plenty of these ‘ Prince ‘ engines sound like they’re dead when the aux belt falls apart or the water pump tensioner/ water pump rubber pulley. Water pump isn’t always engaged so the noise will come and go
Pop the alternator belt off and fire it up.. had a mini where it sounded just like that and it was either the alternator or idler o can’t remember
Aux belt damage.. Had same on mini.. New belt stopped noise instantly
Check the water pump pulley as is friction driven and the rubber falls apart making it sound really bad and as has been said it only engages the tensioner when engine has warmed up
"" it needs a new engine", Chris says hold my Starbucks.
“Is it petrol or diesel?” Rob 😉
Haha
Nah , mine is a $1. 7/11 coffee
cos l don't mind it.....it's cheap
& taste ok.
Mcafe:)
We had one that sounded that bad and it was only the fan belt falling apart and the backwards water pump tensioner slapping about like a mad man with a hammer 😂
I believe the mileage was added in Kilometre at some point and then in Miles again..that explains and also if you convert makes sense
The very best way to end the start of the week with a Salvage Rebuilds video 🤣
Two things to check on these is is the chain tensioner and the chain guides as these suffer badly with these issues. Also Peugeot offered two variants of this engine, being the 156bhp and the 200bhp engine, normally the 200bhp engines came with a little plaque bolted on the rocket cover with THP 200 written on it so that tells me you have got the 156bhp variant. Also one thing to note if you end up taking the engine out of this, Peugeot advise to strap the front of the vehicle to the ramp due to the car being so light weight. I used to work in a Peugeot garage when these things very first came out so I can remember the kinds of trouble these were plagued with.
Sound like it could be the timing chain tensioner I had one that made the same noise when cold thay are cheap and easy to change just looks like a bolt down the back of the engine just take it out and test the spring
Nice looking car and well worth a save. Short and sweet video but perfect length for what it was. Always a pleasure watching content on this channel, thanks for all your continued efforts keeping us amused, entertained and educated, stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
Aux belt, have bought a few with this engine problem and a belt cured them all. Reach in and cut belt off, start it and see if ok. Water pump is not driven all the time hence why knocking is not there all the time.
Hi from uk guys👋👍 cant wait to see the teardown on this on and hopefully the damage is concentrated and spread with use and heat cycle but cant wait guys👍👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Hi that’s a Mini Cooper s engine, check the water pump pulley they fall apart and make a right racket!!
The infamous ‘Prince’ engine with a single, as opposed to duplex timing chain. My local Citroën specialist has a DS3 Racing in with a fubar engine due to chain issues.
with Peugeot when the battery has gone flat or has been disconnected the clocks revert to KPH instead of MPH and cos the owners don't know how to change it back when they take for mot they input them in as kmh instead of mph as all they are interested in is the numbers that's why you get the incorrect mileage
Check the auxiliary belt aswell on this ! I had one with bits of the belt shredded and it sounded terrible! The water pump runs off the belt on these but doesn’t engage till engine is warm! It’s a strange set up
a few yrs back we had 3 at our garage, wasn't planned, just happened. 1 needed an electric motor for drivers seat £2500, 1, motor for passenger seat £2000, + head gasket, 1, back window, unobtainable. we made 1 good one out of the youngest car,+ sent other 2 for auction it was actually a nice driver, + sold straight away, blokes still got it 5yrs later. keep up the good work chaps !
Check aux belt, crank pulley and water pump tensioner
Guys, really enjoyed the video. Its the loose timing chain rattling off the plastic cover, needs a timing chain kit. They stretch.
If it is the same N14/N18 chocolate teapot of an engine that they used in the Cooper S then it will likely be the timing chain and guides are lunched. You did one of those already 👍
First check the auxiliary belt as these do make that sound when they have sections of the ribs missing as the water pump runs on friction wheel off the smooth side of the belt. If in doubt remove it then run the engine up again to see if the noise has gone. I wouldn’t worry about the rattle on the very first start up as it’s been stood up for a while and the timing chain tensioner is oil fed under pressure.
I've had my RCZ since 2016. 2.0 diesel turbo. It's been brillant I can't bear to part with it.
I've had mine for 3 years and only had minor problems like fuse blown for window washers, sensors for fron
That knock sounds like it could be the typical 'death rattle' from the timing chain / guides / tensioner. A common issue on the THP PSA/BMW/Mini engines. Also, make sure the oil level is correct, these engines suffer burning oil, usually 1 litre per 1000 miles on average. A couple of other things to look out for is the water pump, high pressure fuel pump and the inlet ports and valves coking up.
All the best on this build, looking forward to seeing how it goes!
It sounds like the Well known timing chain issue. Could also be part of the water pump pulley missing.
Unfortunately I’ve done a couple of cars with the same problem like this, check the aux belt, they fall to bits and loose bits out causing a banging noise like the engine is buggered, it’s a cheap fix
This month's Car mechanic magazine has done a full article on these RCZ's. Including the problems your one has. Worth a look to help you out!!😎👍
Hello Rob and Chris, another great video and a nice looking car.
“It’s a wrap”, is Chris’s new catch phrase.
I’m sure you will find an engine.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video.Ged
This thing has such a cool roofline and backglass, the kind of cars we don’t get up here in Canada. Have a good one to you both!
Hi Rob and Chris, I do like the RCZ, unusual and getting rarer. Looking forward to see where you go with this in the future. Alex.
Amazing Content on the Peugeot RCZ Coupe guys. Great work lads see you on Wednesday for another interesting video.
Camchain tensioner it’s gen on the rear of the engine , can leak oil from there also there was an update for it , also know for thermostat housing to break just fyi
Very pretty car, think the Citroen DS3 sport is the same engine, loads of those floating about .
Common fault on the mini the rubber breaks up on the waterpump pulley and makes a noise like this remove the auxiliary belt and see if the noise goes could be a cheap fix new belt and pulley
Future classic. Was going to suggest that, noting the reg, Pebo Bryson wouldn't buy it but then found out it's spelt Peabo. The odd thing about the RCZ is that despite being a sports coupe it's effectively built on the same floor/chassis structure as a Citroen Berlingo/Peugeot/Vauxhall so it shares some genes with your van. Worth doing a rebuild since useful info for Mini owners, etc, given how many engines have the same problem and good used replacement engines are rare (I guess Silverlake don't have any)
Yep future classic, that's why I bought one 😂
@@coom0004 thats why i've got 2 😄😁
water pump aux belt based as noise there then went then warm it was back if it was shells the engine would be knocking all the time
My one and only French car had an intermittent electrical fault. Finally diagnosed as part of the wiring loom running under the drivers seat rails being shorted out. Never again....! Good luck with this interesting project.
At least it doesn’t need panels, they are even harder to find, will be an interesting series, nice one guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mini coopers has a belt tensioner that makes the same noise when it goes out
Number plate is on point 👌🏼
Maybe spare change rattling about at the bottom of the engine.
Son had exact same model colour but with the cream leather interior.
I stand to be corrected but i'm sure there are 1.6 engines in these cars with a different state of tune. e. g 156 / 200 /270 bhp and a 2.0 163 diesel. Looking forward to see the stripdown on this one.
Thats what I have now..cream leather 200hp model ..love it
Hi,
Look at the water pump friction pulley...or try to find a N 18 engine...much more reliable.
I think the Mileage discrepancy could be a Kilometers to Miles dash setting , on my Peugeot Expert van it reverts to default kilometers if the battery is removed- i found out after an MOT . Your numbers work out if you calculate 1k =0.621 mile👍 .The 72,000 could be kilometers -44k miles.
So much well intentioned advice given here. You’ve got some checking to do.
Hi guys had this before, check the pick up pipe in the sump, also oil filters not imploded !
I’ll take a bet that the bores are still good, so hopefully might get away with a complete bottom end refresh and most importantly a new oil pump. Looking forward to this one lads! Best regards 👍💪😊
I sold my Toyota three years ago in uk and my number plate was also SUX. One guy said he was definitely having it only to pull out at the last minute because his wife said she wouldn't drive with SUX on it and wanted me to put a private plate on it for him. I told him to get stuffed on an eight hundred pound car! cheers Jim in NZ.
I worked for a company where they have a load of company cars delivered with FKU as the last three letters of the number plates. They sent them all back.
I had no idea this thing shared engines. Anyway the best looking Peugeots are the 504, 505 and 604 in my opinion.
Looks very nice, look forward to seeing you guys get in depth on this one
I had a diesel one of these in Germany when they first came out. It was a lovely car and a real head turner. My missus loved driving it. The problem came to purchasing winter tyres when the cheapest I could get were around the €1500 mark. So it sat in the garage for the winter. Binned it off as soon as Spring arrived….shame it was a great car purchased new.
Hi Rob and Chris,this is a car you never see much on the road,to scrap it would be a shame,fingers crossed you can find a engine or a bottom end for the RCZ Coupe.
Great buy for the channel as you say not many about now, will look forward to the strip down diagnosis and rebuild! Also looking forward to the Audi A1 video, the white one,I seem to recall, bent front chassis rails, now it’s off the jig, I guess that’s what you were referring to! Thanks as always guys. Dave.
If you get a set of jump leads on the truck on an Anderson connector, you would be able to tickle all the flat batteries into life on the drive back to the yard...
Lovely little car, please repair it Rob and Chris 👍👍😎😎
check that stupid waterpump tensioner unit, replaced loads of those for being noisy.
Sounds to me like timing chains guides , mini cooper s has the same engine and always has timing guides breaking , as the oil pressure builds up it goes away
I'm looking for the diesel GT variety of this. (13-15 manual with low miles)
Massive boot on these, great for chucking stuff in.
I reckon they're going to go the same way as Clio Williams, VR6, 205gti, 309 Goodwood etc.
I have a 2.0HDI GT 308CC but would love the RCZ with the same engine.
@@HATCHETHAS
Yes, future classic, and being diesel is a bit easier on the pocket and less likely to have been ragged up and down the road bouncing off the redline. Lots of torque and adequate bhp. Can be chipped up to almost 200bhp but I wouldn't recommend that without a much stronger clutch assembly, egr delete etc, so only really worth considering if you're going to be replacing the clutch assembly due to old one wearing out.
Would be a good idea to check the timing chain, tensioner and guides as it is a very common failure on those engines.
As you say these are rare on the road, but they look very nice.
I’m at an age and a size that I’d look a right twart driving one of these, but I do love them.
Now you have seen this one on the channel they will all appear.
This car is not as rare on the roads as you may think the rczR now thats rare
Lads i had 308 GTI same engine the rattle was a failed chain tensioner
Check the aux belt. The belt gets chunks taken out of it and then the friction wheel bangs about
Saving another 1 from the scrap yard lads well done 👏
Sounds like the auxiliary belt /waterpump pulley has broken up , these give exactly this noise when they start to wear out / break apart
If you find a knackered bearing and decide to get the crank ground and new bearings, to do the job properly requires a complete engine strip to clean the swarf from all of the oil galleries.
Probably the best looking car Peugeot made !! You forgot about the gorgeous 406 coupé 👍👍
Thought the exact same. Had one myself in gallileo green....my ex rolled it into a ditch.
@@FuelPoverty that's a real shame, nice colour, I've got an 2.2 petrol in Silver absolutely love it 👍
Had this on my r56 Mini Cooper s aux belt tensioner
I reckon that mileage has just been input wrong, Rob. If you follow the line without those dips, it seems to be going in a pretty straight line.
i own one love it GT200. I had the uprated timing chain and tensioners replaced a rattle came back horribly a few years later and it was the water pump wheel the bearing was shot. the only 2 to buy are gt200 and R versions the diesel is ok but the 156bhp like that one is just the budget version small brakes softer suspension smaller wheels and engine not as trick as the gt200 and R as they both have uprated internals even more so on the R . done 92000 miles in mine
Sweet looking motor 😍 looking forward to see the repair on it then back on the road hopefully 😀 good luck lads.
Looking forward to this one Rob. It'll be fantastic once finished. 👍👍👍
I had a mate with one of those. And I seem to remember it sounding like that. If I remember rightly they suffer timing chain / chain guide failures . He had all that replaced and was perfect till he sold it a few years back. Hope this helps 👍
Away with the misses snuck away to watch this
"Aldi TT" it's like a TT but with French electrics and the possibility of fire 🤣
Great video as always guys!
Always had a soft spot for the RCZ, such a great looking car 👌🏻
Agreed.. guys definitely worth trying to save the knock isn’t too bad certainly worse when cold no question. Overhaul is an option for sure guess you need sump off and good look at crankshaft itself first tho ..I’d hazard guess engine was run very low on oil at some point. best of luck guys
Any chance of sorting the sound out. There surely must be a Bluetooth twin mic set up.
lnstead of stopping for your lunches packed into your sweet little sandwich boxes you could have had that engine out.i dont know cant get the staff these days
Cor, gives me flashbacks. Mum had one, it was an utter nail. Needed a gearbox, high level brake light (mare of a job), a rear beam and a door loom. Cheers for dumping that on me Mum...
Hi rob and chris
This engine is also fitted to the Peugeot 207 gt and gti
1.6 thp engine
It is bud yes I said that in the video 👍
One of the prettiest cars
Chris is really coming out of his shell now much more confident on camera
Rob: I ain't got a Petrol!!
Does your Lamborghini run on Diesel?1
Great entertainment as always lads.
Thanks from Ireland
He will use premium fuel in it
No one is gonna stick old unknown fuel in a Lambo . ....
Ooooohh, can't wait to see how this one turns out! And you're right - plenty of life left in a 60 reg car, I really hope you can fix it and pass it onto somebody who will enjoy driving it.
Thank heavens that A1 is finally off the jig - any longer in the shed and it would have become a classic car!
Looks like a great motor ,first time I have seen one of these models 👍👍
Check the water pump tension it's electric and when they get hot they make that noise I’m sure it’s that b4 u strip it
