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...

I have a '99 lusso 2.0 TS with the auto climate control that only blows hot air. I have used the Multiscan software and detected that the sensor in the wing mirror had failed through corrosion. I have changed the sensor and now the Multiscan indicates the correct temperature and no errors. It...

I have a problem with 147 1.9 16v. The engine is blowing oil from the breather. This is happening mainly when driving in the city and when driving more aggressively when the oil/engine is not warm enough. In the moment the breather is disconnected from the turbo intake hose otherwise the oil is...

Hey guys I have a New Zealand new 2007 Alfa 159 2.4 which came with tow bar and trailer wiring. The control box for the trailer lights has a f500mal250v fuse in it that will blow if I use 'normal' bulb trailer lights, but if I use all LED trailer lights it will work fine and won't blow the...

Hi folks. Having a hard time nailing an electrical issue with my 156 2.4. the window would not return up one day so thought the fuse had gone. replaced fuse happened again. Ive lost count how many times I've replaced fuses. I did remove the door window handle unit as it was rattling around...

Hi All, My Giulietta heater is only blowing cold air out. The pipes all going into the heating system are hot and the coolant is topped up and not leaking out. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Car is in the garage at the moment and they don't know what is wrong without spending...

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...

Not sure if anyone else has had this; My 56 Brera , when locking the car with the key fob, every now n then the alarm will blow, not sure if it's temperature related or what...so I'm having to lock with the key in the door, so the car is never alarmed Any ideas ? Cheers Dan

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...

Hi All My stereo, interior light and central locking stopped working this week. I thought simple job, the fuse has gone I will replace it. The new fuse blew as soon as I put it in. I took the headunit out to see if that was the cause, no luck the next fuse blew immediately aswell?? Anyone...
