  1. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    I’m new to Alfas, and on the hunt for a 159 Sportwagon 2.4 manual. Now beginning to realise how few of these there are! I recently went to go see on for sale, which initially looked very good in the listing, though when I arrived the dealer said he’d found an issue with the engine not starting/...
  2. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi all, I recently purchased a 1.9 JTD for the stupidly low price of 200 euros. Now i am trying to sort the car out a bit and get it a bit tidy, but noticed that it really lacks power at the bottom of the rev range. It takes a while for the turbo to spool up and when it does you do notice it...
  3. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hello everyone, I have a 159 1.9 JTDM 8v that I didn't use and it was parked for half a year. I went to turn it on every 2-3 weeks and it worked perfectly everytime. Yesterday I went to turn it on and I couldn't even unlock it with the key and when I put the key in to the ignition nothing...
  4. Alfa MiTo
    Hello everyone, My 2012 MiTo 1.3 jdtm diesel 85 with 160.000km on clock appears to have these issues that are possibly related. Issue 1: White smoke at 3rd gear in about 3000 rpms. In 0 gear, if i press instantly accelerate pedal right to 5-6 rpms a lot of smoke is coming out from exhaust...

    So on happy overtake on the highway the engine completely died. Error reports P0748. Car wont start again, alternator cranks but nothing happens, sounds like no diesel. Reading here on the forum about the Pump metering valve I though it could be that, but the mechanic reports its the diesel...
  6. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    So here again with a problem with my Alfa... After a new battery and driving without problems for 250km to Croatia, the car didnt start the next day! Car cranked but did nothing, no errors. Removed tube to diesel filter and there was Diesel coming out when I put key in. Opening up the air inlet...
  7. Alfa Giulietta
    Hey, I've been having some problems with my G, 2012 2.0 140, mapped tho. Thing is, i brake as i approach an intersection and the thing stalls, sometimes doesnt start right up, sometimes does, sometimes just drops rpm to about 500 and somehow survives. Other issue, might be connected, is engine...

    EDIT: Suggest everyone to scroll down as the problem has been progressing. Check your EGR, maybe hit it with a hammer a bit or block it off to see if car works again. After EGR I got DPF error because a hose exploded. Changed hose and car is fine again! Hey everyone, So last year moved to a...
  9. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi all, as the title may suggest my Brera is having a moment. A Hell of a moment... Commuting for work earlier and as I came onto the M6 I noticed it had no power, like barely any acceleration and lowering the gears seemed to be detrimental so I kept going thinking it'll sort itself - it didn't...
  10. Alfa Stelvio
    Hi, new here: Planning on getting a (2020 or 21) Q4 Stelvio diesel, but not many 210s available. I need to drive to the Highlands a fair bit from S Scotland, so overtaking ability is necessary. Is there a lot of performance difference between the 190 and the 210 versions? Thanks
  11. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Does any body have the dimensions to make a blanking plate or plates for the EGR valve which has been deleted. Do I need just 1 blanking plate , and if so what is the material, thickness and do I need gaskets and longer bolts? Some plates advertised for sale have holes in, other don't, any ideas...
  12. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hello! It has come to my attention that my egr valve don’t act like it’s supposed to. I’ve changed it thinking that was the problem but no luck there. I’ve read the OBD2 and it says a PTC% of 3.9. I connected my multimeter and it said 1.07 V. It’s always the same PTC, flooring it on the motor...
  13. Want to Buy Wanted 159 SW

    I'm looking to buy a an Alfa 159 Sportwagon. I'm in two minds about what I want. I'm either looking for a lower mileage manual V6, or a newer 2.0l diesel. The ideal car would be in metallic red with no more than 80,000 miles on the clock. This will be a second car, so I am happy to wait, and...

  14. Alfa Giulia
    Hi guys, thought I would ask for help as I don’t know if I overfilled or not. My car is a 2.2d and it does have dipstick but it’s absolutely useless when topping the car up. Used the electronic reading when topping up, took me about half an hour when topping up as I was too scared of...

    Afternoon Alfisti. Last year I bought a 156 Sportwagon off Pud237 (Dan) to help out my auntie who needed a cheap workhorse to run around to work and back in. Her circumstances have changed and she needs something with a towbar, before I could really arrange anything she had another car lined up...
  16. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    In Feb 2013 I bought my first car, a 147 Sport Q2, which in Feb 2017 I sold to Pud237 in part-ex to buy a GTA - Farewell to the 147 Q2... – A few months later, Dan told me he’d sold the 147 to a local couple who then retired and moved to Anglesey. Occasionally I would ask about how it was doing...
  17. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi everyone. I'm a relatively new Alfa owner, and absolutely love the car. However I have some issues with it, that I'm trying to figure out. One of the problems that I'm having is that it sometimes won't hit boost in 2nd gear. The boost gauge shows pressure as normal, but the car runs like a...

    Hi All, A belated happy new year to everyone! I have had my Giulietta 2.0 jtdm 170 for 6 months now, and am looking at putting an intake and a tune on it in March for some extra oomph and even more bags of torque :p However, just wondering those of you who have done the same, which of these...
