First of all, thanks for the quick reply. My RCZ has already run 166501 KM. I haven't had any accidents with the car so far. Your suggestion to take the car to a garage for fault code diagnosis sounds good. With so many possible causes, I really should have it checked by a professional! Stay healthy, thanks again for the help.

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! With the mileage, it's definitely a good idea to have the car checked. It could be that a few parts simply need to be replaced due to wear and tear. It was the same with my Peugeot 207 at around the same mileage. After replacing the gearshift intake manifold, it ran like a charm again. Just get it checked out and hopefully it's nothing too bad. And remember: a broken car is still better than no car at all, right? Good luck and stay healthy too! Let us know how it goes. Best regards!

Hello, first of all, I'm not a master mechanic, but I do have a bit of experience with cars. I had a similar problem with my 2009 Peugeot 207 diesel, where the control of the gearbox intake manifold was faulty, similar to your RCZ. I took my car to my usual garage and they fixed the situation for 465 euros. It wasn't an easy or cheap fix, but it solved the problem and my car is running great again. I would recommend you take your car to a garage and have them read out the fault codes. There could be several causes for your problems and it's always good to have a second opinion. If you share more information about your car, I might be able to help more specifically. Why don't you tell me what the mileage is and if the car has ever been in an accident. Good luck!
