Hi guys, The wife's Giulietta has developed a loud clonk on lock, it's only appeared recently and only when the car is cold. It's a manual not the TCT. I was in the car with her yesterday and experienced it for the first time myself. She was reversing with almost full right hand lock. It was a...

My Giulietta from 2010 with 90000miles has started making a strange noise a few months ago. It happens when I brake with a moderate/ strong force on the pedal and it seems to come from the driver side It also does it when I steer to the right full lock and proceed at low speed (usually when I...

My 2007 147 JTDm 16v has developed a noticeable clonk when changing gear. It happens whenever I release the clutch pedal and drive is taken up. This happens when changing up or down. There seems to be some driveline shunt when changing gear with the clunk. Both of these can be avoided if I let...

When i start to move off, there is a slight clonk from the gearbox area of my V6, almost if something is loose. I am unable to replicate this sound once i am moving over 10-15 mph. I have a split cv joint which i will repair later this week so i can check everything is tight underneath. There...

Hi folks, sorry if this has been asked before but I've replaced both sets of wishbones and the ARB links, yet the clonk remains. Where should I be looking next? I have use of a two-post ramp, are there any checks I can do when its up in the air? thanks in advance Dave.

Hello everyone, having got the Alfa on the road, i took it down to Milton Keynes this weekend...absolutely fine on the way down..then on the way back, it started off as a gentle rubbing noise and slowly but surely has turned into a repetitive donk donk donk donk donk... At first i thought it...

Noticed a slight clonk coming from the passenger side rear when going over bumps over the last couple of days Dont think its the exhaust knocking which was my first thought so guessing now its suspension related ( great :mad: ) Typical suspects ? Top mounts ? Drop links ? anything else to look...

Here is the follow on from the initial clonk in to first gear I had which lead to an expensive double clutch change, due to a failed bearing. Below is the symptoms I had in case your car starts doing the same. The first sign was the car started to make a clonk when first gear was engaged, it...

my "W" reg 2.0 GTV has a clonk when pulling away, very noticeable when you first drive off when its been standing a while, then only occasionally when pulling away from a standstill, nothing while car is moving / changing gear or accelerating of decelerating. The clutch has recently been...

Hi All, I copied this from my thread on thanks to Autolusso Bournemouth as it might get a bit more exposure.... Hopefully someone can help! There is a lot of :cry: going on with me and the Spider at the moment - I can not trace a clonking / rattle / knock. While driving, it sounds as though it...

Hi, took the 147 to the South of France and back...all good except the french roads have taken their toll and its developed a clonk on sharp accelerating and braking...like something has worn/worked loose. Anyone had anything similar? TIA RIch

I am experiencing strange clonk when parking out (in reverse) of a sidewalk in front of my house, and it is always present. I did not manage to hear it on other occasions. It sounds like a faulty steering joint or link, but everything is checked three times by different specialists and they...

I have just bought an Alfa 159 2.4 JTDM Q4 Sportswagon (2007) and it is exactly what i wanted. In the most part it is great however there are a few issues I am hoping someone will know the answer to. When changing up from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th I sometimes get a clunk noise from the rear...

As above free play + clonk from o/s steering rack. I fear the worst . . . .tie rod/track rod done last year so am told it could be a new rack. Although also led to believe it could be bushings within the rack that are worn. Are these replaceable parts and if so what advice can anyone give? Just...

Hi guys really need your help. I'll start the story from the start as it may help towards finding the cause of my problem. I have just done a resto on my 33 16v, drove really well for a couple of weeks until I was driving down a country road and I felt a weird knock. I could feel it was on the...

For a long time I've had a niggle that I think is with the front brakes. I get a really loud clicking noise, sometimes a bit more of a clonk, from the front of the car. It's most noticeable when pulling away, and I get a series of 3 or 4 loud clicks in quick succession. With the windows down...

This is the 3rd wheel bearing on the drivers side RHS. The other 2 failed with pitting on the race. I have owned 4 33's and have replaced several and never had any problems until this one. I always replace the whole lot, inner and outer and take out the old race and press in the new one and pack...

I've now spent a week in my new (to me) 2008 159 Ti. If anything, I like it more than I did when I collected it. One thing, however, has come to my attention since driving the car over more serious distances. There is a definite "clonk" / "clunk" noise from the car's transmission or...
