So I’ve just bought my first Alfa 159, a 2.0 JTDM with 73K miles for commuting. Is the build up of the gunk (or EGR deposits) in the inlet manifold causing them to crack, or is it just their age? Do the manifolds reach a higher temperature when filled with gunk creating a weakness to cracking...

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...

Hi all, I have a 2.0JTDM 159. I have recently been having some low rev stuttering (1500rpm) with slight acceleration. Reading on here seemed to point to faulty EGR valve. So I removed the egr and cleaned, cleaned the Map sensor and stuttering is much better although not completely gone. Was...

hi guys Im busy fixing up my 145 2.0L ts 96 year model. The previous owner said they turned on the adjusting screw with a Philips head. Is there any way you can tune it on your own without having to go to a garage as this valve helps with fuel consumption. Any help will be much appreciated...

Hi I'm planning on buying a obd2 tool that should be able to do the following: read error codes delete error codes tweak some parameters (for example delete egr, enable graphics on screen for the parking sensors, enable cruise control etc) maybe log data, create graphs ... My car is 1.9...

So I'm working on a 2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTi, I know it's not an Alfa but I'm on this forum anyway and it's pretty much the same engine as the 2.0 JTDM, so I hope you don't mind me asking here. The VX forums are very quiet unfortunately. I bought the car for a £500 with a snapped...

Hi A couple days ago I cleaned my EGR and MAP sensor, as I had some time on my hands and have heard its a easy enough job to do on your own. Took em apart, cleaned them. MAP sensor was fully clogged, I sorted that out. (see image) Took off EGR, cleaned it. I noticed a couple of things: 1 -...

Hi, I'm going to be picking up my new (to me) Giulietta tomorrow. It's a 2013 JTDM 140. It's been remapped by Autolusso to 180bhp, and it's had an EGR delete. This will be my first diesel, and to be honest I'm not 100% sure what the EGR delete does, and what the benefits and/or drawbacks...

I'm going to take my EGR valve and pipe of this weekend, and wondering if anyone else had done it - pointers, tips etc. It's a 2011 Giulietta 1.6 jdtm-2. I've attached a photo. Am I right in thinking that the bolts visible are the ones that need removing + the hidden ones underneath on the...

Hi all - my 2010 Giulietta 2.0 JTDM sprang a check engine light a couple of weeks ago - MultiEcuScan revealed a couple of EGR valve errors (P0490 EGR Valve Control and P0487 EGR Valve Position). P0487 would re-occur pretty frequently. So replaced the EGR valve at the weekend with a new OEM...

Apparently Halfords do no stock diesel EGR cleaner any more. Spoke to one of the staff and he confirmed that they only have the petrol version, no explanation as to why though. On a happier note, I bought the petrol version anyway and cleaned mine, took half an hour but goodness me it's messy...

Hi, Recently bought a 2012 Giulietta. Had a few problems that I’ve managed to sort myself but unable to do this. Got the obd and MES to clear some fault codes. One was the EGR which I’ve taken out and cleaned as well as the MAP sensor. Put it back in and cleared the fault codes but they’ve...

My alfa 159 1.9 jtdm has been in with alfa romeo for 2 weeks now. The first issue i had with the car was a loss of power when accelerating and eventually the car would stop and engine warning lights would come on. These issues only happened when car was up to temp, car drove fine when cold. Alfa...

Hi all, I couldn't the right answer to my issue. Yesterday I changed my turbo on my 55 plate 147 1.9 jtdm 150hp, and all seemed to go smooth. Put it all back together started the car and seen there was smoke coming from what I thought was the join between the exhaust manifold and the pipe...

Hello guys Had the classic EGR cooler box leak on my giulietta on the motorway. Engine went hot and started smoking. Pulled over and coolant has burst everywhere on the right side of engine bay. Back home now and I’m taking off the EGR cooler box at the moment, removed ALL of the bolts (MAN the...

Hello. I wanted to offer a software shutdown of the EGR valve. Just send me your batch with ecu and I will turn it off programmatically. after that you can insert the valve with a full plug. For more information, please visit PW Low prices :) Wysłane z mojego SM-G965F przy użyciu Tapatalka

Hi everyone Was hoping someone could assist with the above. I was having issues with the EGR valve on my 05 GT 1.9jtd. I blanked it for a few months and the error appeared on the dash as expected but the car ran better than ever. The car needed to pass its NCT so I purchased a new EGR valve...

2009 Alfa 147 Ducati Corse 1.9jtdm I drove home from my girlfriends this morning, and around 4 miles in to the 26 mile trip I suddenly had a severely limited amount of power across the whole rev range. It stayed like this the whole way home. I then got ready for work at home and on the 3 mile...

Hi All. My 159 1.9 JTDM 2007 recently the passed the UK MOT after having the oil changed (with additive) at the garage. Two weeks later the check engine light came on permanently, and shortly after that the limp mode, and after checking many forum I drove it hard for two separate hours to see...
