Used Peugeot RCZ Intercooler

Only the turbocharged petrol engines in the RCZ have an intercooler — these are the 1.6 THP units (including the 156bhp, 200bhp, and the R's 270bhp versions). The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine has no forced induction and therefore no intercooler at all. If you have the 2.0 NA and are chasing a cooling or performance issue, you'll want to look at the radiator or engine coolant system instead.

The RCZ ran from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift arriving for the 2013 model year, but the core 1.6 THP engine architecture carried through both phases. Whether the intercooler and its mounting brackets are a straight swap across that 2013 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production. Your engine code from the V5 is the most useful thing to have ready — it will tell the breaker exactly which unit you need.

Trim level alone doesn't determine the intercooler — engine code and power output do. The standard 156bhp THP, the 200bhp THP, and the 270bhp RCZ R all produce different levels of boost, so they are likely to use different intercooler specifications; mixing them across power outputs is not advised. Give the breaker your engine code and bhp rating rather than just the trim badge, and they'll be able to match the correct unit.

The 1.6 THP engine family is shared across several Peugeot and Citroën models, so there is a possibility of crossover, but the intercooler routing, pipework, and mounting points are often specific to the bodyshell and engine bay layout. Don't assume a direct swap just because the engine codes match — check the full part number with the breaker and confirm against your registration before buying. A breaker experienced with the PSA group will usually be able to cross-reference this quickly.

The single most important piece of information is your engine code, which you'll find on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check — it confirms exactly which turbocharged variant you have. You should also give the breaker your model year and the engine's bhp output, since the 156bhp, 200bhp, and RCZ R 270bhp units are likely to have different intercooler specs. Having your registration to hand lets the breaker verify everything against a parts catalogue before quoting.
