So bought a multiair 13 plate a couple of weeks ago. When I accelerate hard the turbo kicks in nicely but that around 4000rpm I loose boost for half a second. Now it only seems to do this in the first 15 mins of driving. Is this normal? Is this just because the engine isnt warm enough yet? I...

So I decided to try and ask here, as me with my mechanic are out of clues on this one. The problem actually shown itself last winter, but not as pronounced as this year. With the temps going down overnight, first cold start after the car sat in the cold, this horrible squeaking happens. It is...

Has anyone done this? Think some tuners can remove the function of pumping heat into Cat upon startup until warm. Have an aftermarket exhaust and happy with sound except on cold start when it sounds too much. Have you heard of any alfa tuners who have done this on Giulia or other models? Is...

Hi everyone, I've 'lost' my original account here, it's been a long time but I've been drawn back into the Alfa fold after a few years without. I've purchased a 147 Jtdm but now it's arrived, it seems to have a problem that I wasn't aware of... From dead cold, it'll crank, fire, idle for...

hello, Recently I have swapped 3.2 177kw engine into my 156 2.5 CF3 and i have trouble starting the car when cold. Takes about 3 5 second attempts to start. Next starts are fine. Once started runs great. Even lambda values look ok. Did this swap basing on some older thread in this forum...

Last year during the two very cold weather spells we had in the UK my 2015 1.4 multiair wouldn't start. On both occasions the car had stood for a few days and as it was still under warranty I called Alfa Assist who, on both occasions jump started the car, ran it for 10 to 15 minutes, suggested I...
