With my two recent fill ups at different locations the fuel nozzle has failed to shut off when petrol is surging out and spilling out down the side of the car and all over the forecourt floor. I'm used to having to use less trigger pressure a bit to avoid the pump shut off, but these last two...

Has anybody else had problems filling up there QV ?, admittedly I dont let mine go much below half a tank but every time I fill up its a struggle to get the nozzle into a position without the flow immediately clicking off

I got my 1750 GTV out today and gave it a good run for the first time in a while. It's off to the specialist for a few jobs this week, including a tune, so I thought I'd put some fresh super unleaded in it so I know there is plenty of fuel for it all to get properly set up. The nozzle really...

Hi guys This is my first post and it is a problem solving one, sorry. My better half owns a 2006 147 JTDm 6 speed that she just loves. Last night she told me it was very low on diesel and did I have some diesel in a can. Two days before she got back from a 800km plus trip on one tank. And the...

Hi I have a 159 saloon 2009. Has anybody else had a problem with the spare wheel bay filling with water? I have checked the boot lid seals they all seam ok. The boot carpet feels dry but in the spare wheel bay there can be a few inches is water. any suggestions as to how it could be getting in...

is this done through the dipstick hole or can you remove the reverse light switch plug and fill through there instead seems odd not to have a filler plug

Today i went to the pump and instead of asking for 70 euro as usual, I asked the attendant to fill up the tank expecting the pump to stop automatically. It clicked at 73.50 and the attendant proceeded to fill till 75 to round it off. However, diesel started flowing out from under the car and he...

Hi Can anyone post a picture of where the reservoir is on the spider, and where you fill it I have looked in the location I have read about behind drivers seat in battery compartment, I removed lining and found actuators with six pipes going to the rams but can not see filler point. Also does...

Hi guys has anyone had a problem with their front indicator lense filling with water ?? And is there a thread on how to remove it pls .

Hi All, i've had a problem for a few years with filling up unleaded. At nearly all service stations, i can't get more than about 5 litres in it, without the nozzle clicking off. I did find one that i had no problems with, and so i have stuck with it. But i received some bad fuel, so now i am...

Any idea how to remove the petrol filling hole ring from a 33? The pipes are all out, but I can't figure out how the plastic ring is fixed in place... I'd rather get it out without breaking it :)

Is it possible to see this with Multiecuscan? I am a pro chiptuner and normally I work with VW and Audis and in these cars I can see the "ash-amount" where 60g is maximum and the filter has to be replaced. I got an Alfa 159 1.9JTD 150 for myself and I am not sure when the filter is done. BTW...

I just wondered if anyone's 1.4MA experiences some dodgy petrol readings. I have just brimmed my G to full for the 2nd time since buying it (56 liters in total). The needle was at the max mark as I left the petrol station. 15 miles later and the needle has dropped to 7/8th of the way lol. The...

I have done a few searches and as I thought, the 6 speed gearbox of the 1.9jtdm is the same as the V6 where you refill via the dipstick. Is this correct ? Also, I looked for information on exactly where it is but couldn't find any. I am assuming it's like on my old V6 155 and the dipstick is...

Hey, I've finally completed my overhaul of the suspension, and have drained the gearbox dry. I've been looking for an easy way to fill the box, alot of people say to use a bit of pipe and a funnel into the dipstick hole. Do I need quite thin pipe or will a bit of hosepipe on a funnel do...

Stopped off at the local Shell garage tonight. Put the half a bottle of additive in (Redex Diesel) then filled up. £91.61 later.......she was full. So set off home at a very gentle tootle. Stop start traffic for 30 mins. As I pulled up to reverse on the drive I noticed a plume of smoke out...

Anyone out there had any problems with their Bonnet filling up with water? Got a friend who has a Phase 3 JTS and her bonnet is filling with water whenever it rains. She has had 2 holes drilled in near the gas struts to drain it off when the bonnet is up. When you lift up the bonnet you can...
