  1. Alfa Giulietta
    Hi everyone! I'm still on the hunt for a TCT Giulietta, the list is getting narrower, but the one I found has a worn shifter knob and I'm wondering how big of a task is it to change the shifter on a TCT? I've already found the part online, I'm just not sure how difficult it is to change it. I...
  2. Alfa Giulia
    My veloce has done 120,000 KM, so a gearbox oil change is long overdue. ZF recommends no more than 80K, so it is a late already. Having watched several video's, changing the oil looks to be a pretty straight forward job to do myself. The only 'issue' I see is that they go over all the gears...
  3. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hello guys, First, couple words about the car: It is a 2002 156 sportwagon with Lybra 2.4 150 engine and 6 speed tran. from Alfa 166 (the original engine blew due to bad fuel injection nozzle). For the past 3 years the car has been sitting, due to minor traffic incident and turned into project...
  4. Alfa 164 & 166
    Hello 166 forum members I've a big problem for my first tech post! I have a 166 3.0 auto 1999 model and have just changed the cambelt, bearings and tensioner plus the water pump, thermostat and spark plugs. I used Eldon camlocks and crank timing was set with the marks on the flexplate...
  5. Alfa Giulietta
    Morning All. I have a 2011 Giulietta 2.0 Diesel Veloce, after getting a few Alfa owners to look at my car and getting hold of an OBD scanner, I still can't clear the fault. I have a power steering fault, hill holder fault and DNA is not working. I've tried to clear the fault with the OBD...
  6. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Howdy guys! After a lot of looking around, I found a full aluminum gear knob for my Alfa GT with the 6 speed manual silver scratchy knob. I have no idea where to start with the removal? Do I need to pull? Twist? Twist and Pull? I'm attaching some pictures to my find on eBay and the old one...
  7. Alfa Giulietta
    I did an oil change on the Giulietta about 3 months ago, but now I have an extremely obnoxious and distracting warning popping up every five minutes. Is there any way to reset this message without using MultiEcuScan? I don’t have a laptop and the iOS version doesn’t work. Thanks

    how would I change the rear 3 plugs on this?
  9. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi, I have an error on the body computer CAN bus error. I want to change the body comp, I have another one, used on another car, with its keys. What else is changing, and what is the replacement procedure? Do I also need to change the ECU? Key reader? The steering wheel lock? Although it is a...
  10. Alfa MiTo
    Hello, i own a 2012 Alfa Mito MultiAir 77 kW. To avoid MultiAir issues, i changed the engine oil each year after about 10'000 km. After the oil change at 110'000 a few weeks ago, i got a MultiAir actor Error P1064. Until then, i never had an issue with my MiTo. I've read a lot about the...
  11. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    My GTV and Spider have between them needed 3 rear wheel bearings replacing for their last MOTs. I paid to get the first one done and did the last couple myself after some really helpful advice on here. It is fairly straightforward so here’s how... First of all tools. You’ll need a Jack , axle...
  12. Alfa MiTo
    Hi all, I feel that the hid bulbs in my mito have started to lose their punch, a common problem with gas discharge lamps as they age. I have bought some osram nightbreaker replacements, however I had a quick look yesterday and cannot work out how the originals are removed. I've tried a pull...
  13. Alfa Giulietta
    With a new car I normally buy a new Haynes manual, mainly for the torque figures. As there isn't such a thing for the Giulietta, and I've just ordered some discs and pads (front and rear), does anyone have any torque figures for slider pins, calliper mount, etc? I have a bit of an over...
  14. Alfa Giulietta
    Hello, So last month i bought a 2011 giulietta 2.0 jtdm and tonight i got the flashing red oil light suddenly (had a Hearth attack, thought oil is low). Turns out it is for changing oil, but the oil was changed this year in spring. The question is, how does it determine when a oil change is...
  15. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    I am looking at importing a gtv from Japan whereby speedo in km. Would be possible to swap the instrument cluster with a UK version? Also would the replacement retain the correct mileage and would it register in miles or km still?
  16. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hello Everyone. I have today tried to change my front break pads. I have failed miserably. The two slider pins heads that need removing are completely rusted in seized. I have hammered punched imprecated but all to no avail. :( This is my first attempt at fixing something on my alfa 147 1.9...
  17. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hey Everyone, So, just got myself another Alfa 159. Now , firstly I brought off some bloke on shpock ( my mistake I know !!! ) Usually, only ever buy Alfa’s from fellow Alfa heads but hey what’s done is done !!! In my test drive everything was sweet, few minors , nothing I can’t...
  18. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    My recent purchase of a turbo charged twin spark has been going well. I need to swap the battery for new one but everything else is working as it should. I asked a couple of local Indies about a cambelt change and they said no as it's not a standard car. I use a experienced mechanic for...
  19. Alfa 164 & 166
    Just wondered if anyone has a copy of the workshop manual, I have to change the clutch on my 3.0 Super and I’d rather have a paper copy or printed from a pdf than the rather flaky cd rom. Thanks Paul
  20. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    My "rescued" 156SW oilcaholic has had a problem with the aircon since I got it. After an all-too-warm summer I've started replacing bits as they became available - new condenser rad at the front, new compressor etc ... Now, the compressor says I should also replace the expansion valve - which...
