Did some investigation today with AlfaOBD. If I disconnect the sensor I get water temperature reading stable 120C. If I shortcut the sensor connector it shows -20C. I connected the sensor and started cold engine. I had not used the car for two days. Outside air temp 17C, Cabin air temp 17C...

Hey all, this is my first post, I've been a lurker for a long time and have found the information on here invaluable, thank you. But I'm at my wit's end with my precious 159... Video of my struggling Alfa: As you can see, the idle is rough, and there's lots of lovely smoke. It sounded as if...

Hi there as the title suggests my interior light fuse has blown and when I try to replace it the new one blows before I can even get it fully in. I have not changed anything on the car recently, where should I begin? its a 2013 model if that makes any odds. Also if it helps I tried a new fuse...

Hi, I have a 2008 159 1.9JTDm Lusso. I have a recurrent problem with a fuse blowing. It's a 7.5A one unhelpfully labelled as services. When it blows it knocks out the Cruise Control and the reversing lights. The parking sensors still work but they have to be activiated manually, it appears that...

Hi all, I recently had a problem on my Mito TCT where fuse F37 kept blowing whenever I pressed the brake pedal. F37 is the one that protects the instrument panel along with the brake lights and the indicators, so when it blows the car is pretty unsafe to drive. You also see lots of failure...

Hi, The fuse F35 (services) in my Alfa 159 2.4 keeps blowing which is being indicated by the engine light being thrown up. This doesn't happen immediately after being replaced, but usually after an hour or so. From reading the codes I am getting the following, although I can't detect any...

Hi, I have a facelift 156 and the fuse for the reversing lights and radio(on/off with ignition) keeps blowing. I replaced the fuse and with the radio off, put the car in reverse. As soon as the gear lever hit the reverse position I watched the 10amp fuse blow. Any idea what might be causing this?

Before some pillock crashed into it and wrote it off, my 156 (facelift interior) would mostly blow 'full hot', unless the climate was set to LO. I checked it with diagnostics and the engine ECU would report an accurate coolant temperature reading (usually 80+), however upon interrogating the...
