engine

Hey everyone! So a month or so ago while driving on the highway my check engine light started blinking. So i pulled over and let it sit for awhile. When i started it again, i noticed that the engine vibrates, pulsating sound came from the exhaust, it felt funny. Noticed that there was oil in...

Hi guys I hope you can help My mito will only rev up to 4000 rpm even with the clutch depressed any ideas why? Many thanks

Hi all, new to this. Purchased a 2012 1.4tb (140bhp) mito in June and have had a few issues that have not yet been resolved. Car is at 48,500 miles -Occasional misfire/very rough running upon startup. -Occaisonal minor dip in power whilst climbing though the revs, followed by a massive dip and...

Dear proud alfa owners, I'm one of the proud owner of a 97 gtv (916) with autodelta modifications, including the 3.5L engine conversion. I bought the car years ago, in a very bad shape, restoring it since that and I just love it, love it love it. Make me smile every time I drive it...

Hi guys, would you please share your opinion regarding the petrol engines of the Giulia? I mean the 2.0 (200hp & 280hp)? Is it a reliable engine? I know there had been some early issues fixed by Alfa and cars made after april 2017 should be better. I currently drive Giulietta 2.0 Diesel which...

My son has been very unlucky, his 2006 159 aux belt pulley seized causing the belt to snap. The bad news is that it caught up the timing belt causing it to jump and we have at least two bent valves. Paying to repair is not economically viable. However dropping in a 2nd hand engine is just about...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone might be to help with some advice. For a number of weeks my giulietta 2.0l Jtdm-2 has been having trouble starting but only when the engine is hot. I have had the car serviced but did not help. I have changed the crankshaft sensor and the problem is still there...

Hi everyone, last night my 2008 159 2.4 jtdm 168k started a regen as i pulled up in front of a shop. I gave it the ocassional blip of the throttle to help things along. In the side mirror, i could see soot like smoke exit the exhaust. I blip the throttle again, and the car seems to go to max...

Hi All, My Giulietta QV that I just bought (48,000kms) has a weird whine/ tick noise when accelerating/ gaining revs, when driving and in park. It’s quite noticeable and doesn’t at all sound like a standard tick from injectors etc. It gets higher pitch with higher revs. Any ideas? The timing...

Just had my MiTo serviced (2011 1.4 Multiair 135bhp TCT) including a coolant flush. Since then I noticed that the engine would come up to operating temperature (90°C), then dip slightly below for a short while, then go up to 90°C and stay there. Can someone with a petrol MiTo observe their...

Hello, I have a check engine light in my Alfa 159 3.2 2009, i tried to connect with many devices and can’t connect to engine, It shows just CAN-u1601 Any help?

I am feeling very happy I finally got a 75 twinspark engine for the alfetta. However there are a few things missing. I recently got a bellhousing for it, but I do not have the bolts that attach it to the block. I'd like to take my time and get the engine and bellhousing and starter all bolted up...

Hi guys, I got a problem with my loved Alfa. I drove like everyday, and accidentally lights are started flashing. Like vdc, hill holder, etc. The fuel indicitor jumping to 0, car loses power. Later wont start. If start the engine the errors are flashing. Engine sound really bad. Battery and ECU...

So I am planning on getting the engine pulled on my 159 Q4 Sportwagon (56 Plate). Plan is to do the timing chain and oil temperature gauge at the same time. Clutch was done less than 6k ago so I wont do that. Is there anything else to do whilst the engine is out? Also 3 Q's: is the Mace AU...

After so many front wheel drive cars in my life it was really strange to rev up my Guilia and get a twist of the bonnet/chassis. All those years with transverse configurations and front wheel drive lulled me into a sense of normality. The Guilia just makes you want to explore the possibilities...

I have been taking things fairly easily since fixing the head gasket but decided to give it some beans on the way home from work today, to enjoy the engine sound. Accelerating hard in third up a hill, heading for about 6,000 rpm, the engine light started flashing steadily, then went off. Then...

I've searched the forums, and the motor factors websites, and all I can find are these stands that bolt to the bell housing. When I rebuilt my V6 busso, in erm cough 1991 I had a stand that attached to the engine mounts, that you could rotate the engine about. But these do not seem to be...
