Hi, New Alfa Owner!

I just thought I would quickly say hi. I've just brought my first Alfa, which is the 156 2.4 JTD 175 Veloce. I've also got a Fiat Coupe 20VT, but I need the diesel now for more travel with work.

Something I did want to ask though is what is the normal water temp?! Mine seems to only be running between 50-70(so 60 I suppose!!) on the dial, which seems a bit low. Will I need to a new thermostat or something as I'd guess it should be closer to 90?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark, welcome to AO

Reckon you need a new thermostat, they have a reputation for sticking open (better than sticking closed I say!)
