Peugeot RCZ T75
The Peugeot RCZ (T75) is a two-door 2+2 coupe built from 2010 to 2015 on a front-wheel-drive layout. Petrol power comes from the direct-injection turbo Prince engines already documented in this contour's 308: the 1.6 THP 156 and the higher-output 1.6 THP 200. A 2.0 HDi 163 diesel (DW10CTED4) completes the range, paired with six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes.
On the 1.6 THP 200, which is the highest-output application of this engine documented here, cooling margin under sustained hard driving is worth a specific check: after a test drive that includes some higher-load running, check the coolant level and look for any warning message, and ask directly whether the car has seen track use. The 1.6 THP 156 follows the fuel-pump inspection route already documented for that engine, and the 2.0 HDi 163 follows the inter-camshaft chain check documented for the DW10CTED4 family.
To judge a specific car, check that the rear 2+2 seats and boot practicality actually match what you need — this is a coupe, not a practical hatchback. Get a full fault-code read across all control units and keep the printout, and have a franchised dealer run the VIN to check for any open manufacturer actions.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐Check the rear 2+2 seats and boot practicality match what you actually need — this is a coupe body, not a practical hatchback
- ☐Ask a franchised Peugeot dealer to run this RCZ's VIN and confirm whether any manufacturer actions remain open for it
- ☐On the RCZ, have a full fault-code read done across all control units, including any recorded overheat or overboost events under load
- ☐Read stored and pending fault codes and watch live fuel-rail pressure — requested versus actual — during cranking and under load with a scan tool
