Alfa 159

Not Happy 2.2 JTS hesitation - now with new IMPORTANT information & escalation details

I have a 159 2.2 JTS that I bought used from an Alfa Dealer. I'm experiencing a need for higher than expected revs when setting off from a standstill and a lack of torque with some hesitation/flat spots low down in the rev range. I took it back to Alfa and they claim there's nothing wrong and this is a characteristic of the engine. Must say, If this is so I'm disappointed (and frankly sceptiical as their analysis equipment doesn't test the engine under load).

The 2.0 powerplant in my old 156 didn't share this "characteristic". Have others experienced this problem?
