brera

Morning guys! As the title suggests I have a slight problem... Battery has died in my Brera (Full disclaimer, car has been stuck at a garage during lockdown since the end of March with the battery connected, should've guessed this would happen). They started work on it this week, but went to...

As much as we all 'love' the quirky nature of owning an Alfa and how it's possible to laugh and be worried at exactly the same time, here's something that maybe someone has an answer to. Twice now over the last 10 months the fuel cap didn't flip open. On both occasions having tried repetitively...

Hi everyone, I know that there is an exact thread about this with 1 person saying that these rims fit, but they fit VERY CLOSE, however that article is from 2014, so I'm looking into any new answers if these wheels will fit on the Brera without issues. The model is a MY2006 2.4JTDm with 330mm...

Anyone knows what could be the issue here? Ive got alot of play in the steering wheel (about 1cm :O) when driving striaght, ive so far replaced inner tie rod ends on the steering rack, upper wishbones without any improvement. The car wanderes on the straights like im driving on ice, terrible to...

Now sold

Hi All! 'Recently' bought a 2008 Alfa Brera 2.2 Prodrive! As you can tell from the images, its not quite standard... Definitely not for the purists out there, but I have no regrets buying it. Hasn't skipped a beat in the nearly 5 months I've owned it, just a few things I've noticed that i'll be...

Hey everyone! So, As I posted in the Newbie Area, which I totally am, I have purchased my first Alfa. I'm very excited about it and I know that since it's a 2008 it will be, to some degree, a labor of love, as I work to get it into a condition that will keep it well maintained from when I...

Hey guys, I'm an American expat living in Spain. I work as a producer in the commercial industry and decided to take a position here in Andalusia. Anyway, we bought a family car... and that left me to have the opportunity to get something that fits my personality more. So I went and grabbed a...

Quick question gents. Is the 159 and Brera dashboard center trim parts interchangeable? I mean the aluminium parts around the gear stick and the main center console. Thanks in advance. P.S: I know there are two versions of course for both cars, one for double din and one for the wider opening...

Hi I have been searching with little success, has anyone found pre cut shaped vinyl to go on the side skirt cill / wheel arch in front of the rear wheel - - you know where the stones pepper it. I've seen cuttable sheets, usually clear, but was looking for something pre cut and preferably red...

Hi, Was driving to work today and I noticed that my Brera was not returning to idle RPM(900 usually) like usual but would hover around 2000 - 1500 RPM and then return slowly to 900 RPM. No check engine is showing up. I am yet to find my OBD scanner so not sure if anything has been recorded...

Very glad to join the forum as a 3.2 Brera q4 owner. Did previously have a mito 155 turbo Veloce. Based up near Newcastle I have owned her for a few months now and I've already spent around £2700 on sorting her out, I've been through the service history and receipts and I reckon she's had...

Hi Everyone, I have the standard head unit that I want to keep and have come up with a way I'm happy with that places a separate sat nav screen higher on the console using the centre air vent as a mount. I purchased the carbon fibre centre console and gear surround. Fitting them the head unit...

My Brera 3.2 GTS. im aiming to replace the centre section exhaust, including a leaking Y pipe with a stainless Steel system. Anybody got any recommendations? preferably in the South West.

Hi All At 6ft 3 my SV Brera is a little short on head room. I took the seat out yesterday and there are 4 square welded on spacers to the bottom runner rail which you bolt through to the captive nuts in the floor. I cannot see why they cant be cut off (looks like there to help locating during...

Hi all, Turned my 2.4 Brera on today to demist the windscreen and... nothing. The dual aircon display works perfectly and all buttons work etc but no air comes out whatsoever! If you listen carefully, when pressings the airflow arrows (window, face or feet) you can actually hear the airflow...

Hi everyone. After years of delays we are now considering building a pair of decat exhaust manifolds for the Brera/Spider and 159 3.2 V6. Is there anyone on here who would still be interested? We had lots of interest in these in 2016 & 2017 but not so much recently, so I thought I would ask...

I recently spoke with Peter Cambridge at PCA Dynamics who mentioned Alfa and Prodrive planned to make an S version using the TBI engine on later Brera's. Does anyone know if this ever got beyond the idea phase and if any specs / pictures were ever devised? Thanks Nick

Hi all, ive recently purchased an 06 brera second hand. The battery was replaced by previous owner but I am now having problems 1. radio codes but I know that's due to the battery 2. when unlocking or opening doors the windows come down but wont go back up unless I manually do it (very...

Guys, Fortunately I am shortly going to retire and my wife and I will no longer need a second car, so I have decided to let the Brera go. It is a 2006, 47000 miles, Full ARSH in stunning condition. if anyone is interested please let me know. Bob
