2 liter VVT (Variable Valve Timing) engine and 5spd transmission from a 1986 Alfa Spider Veloce with ~90K miles, last ran in 2016, and taken off the road with multiple electrical problems. When troubleshooting in 2016, I found cylinder #2 around 20psi down (@~90psi) from other three in static...

Hey all, so as the title says, my 1.9 jtdm 2008 alfa 159 is experiencing a weird issue: every now and then the engine starts vibrating, like seriously vibrating. Lately, it's got so bad that it's practically impossible to get the car into reverse or first gear, ofher gears are also super...

I recently noticed a sound from Engine Bay (going close to the Timing Belt). This "metal" sound can be heard in the video (in the background of the engine). Not sure if it's normal or needs to be fixed? The timing belt and water pump were replaced 20,000 km ago. 1.4 MultiAir 170 CV - 2014 metal...

Hi everyone. I recently took my car to a local mechanic to have the Blue&Me unit replaced, which involved removing the dashboard. Ever since this has been done, the engine noise has been significantly louder - I have to turn the music volume to 32 before it's drowned out. Looking at the rev...

Hi, I bought my first alfa 159 1.9 jdtm the other day and driving it home I noticed a knocking noise coming from the engine. Only seems noticeable at idle, seems to change slightly when the clutch is depressed. If anything it's getting worse I think The engine doesn't sound smooth and seems...

Hello, I´m a new proud owner of a Giulietta 1.4 TB 16V 120hp and completely happy. But besides the normal enging sound there is a secound high pitched whiring noise . It seems to come from near the timing belt and gets louder and faster with increased engine speed. The car just got a new...

Went to look at an automatic diesel 2.0 JDTM-2 2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta with 80,000 miles on it. The car was lovely, really well-kept with leather seats, sunroof etc. A few things needed fixed up on the car like the wheels were a bit scuffed and a new timing belt needed put in. They have the...

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, I have bought a MiTo 1.4tb 2008 155bhp a couple of weeks ago and after driving for a while I noticed a weird sound when accelerating on full throttle (I added a video of it). Weirdly it only happens when driving and when the car is in gear. It also only happens when going full...

I have just changed a failed thermostat on my GTV Twin Spark, and it has also had a new radiator and water pump so the cooling system should be very effective. Before, the gauge would never move from 50 at idle, and got up to the first mark past 50 during normal driving. After parking up and...

Hi Everyone, My Brera ('07, 80k, 2.2 JTS) has an issue to crops up every now and again. Listen to this: As far as I can tell, it's mostly when it is cold and a quick restart cures it. The idle is fine but as you ease off the clutch and into the accelerator, the chugging/clunking sound starts...

Hi I was hoping to get some help on an issue I am currently struggling with. I was changing the timing chain on my 2010 MiTo, which went well. I am now in the process of putting it all back together. I ran into an issue, because I found a small torn screw and I have no idea where it is from...

Hey Guys, So I've noticed a slight annoyance with my MiTo in the fact that when going up a slight hill I have to be in quite a low gear to actually make it up. I have a 1.6 JTDM 09 plate. The turbo seems to kick in about 2500 rpm (let me know if this is too delayed, but I'm used to it now)...
