Hello All, (this may be abit of a novel) I'm abit of a noob and this is my first post. Technical jargon will go over my head so any help would be greatly appreciated but layman's terms would be preferential. The story and journey begins back in October when I purchased my 159 Ti TBI with just...

I can hear the throttle fluttering in the throttle body. When i disconnected it I was able to idle my way home. I have no diagnostic tool yet, so I dont know it the problem is the throttle potentiometer at the pedal end, or the throttle body. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Help needed guys. My mates got a 156 and he just can't get it start. He reckons the fuel pump is priming but no fuel is getting to the engine. He's tried the inertia switch and it was up but he's pushed it down and still nothing. He's changed the pump relay, cam angle sensor still nothing. Any...

Code light wouldn't go out, engine would not fire. The answer was the ECU power up relay (£8.50 from Alfa). There are two located side by side on a relay bank under the plastic cover of the F/O/S wheel. One powers the other which in turn powers up the ECU. An easy check if you have the same...

Hello all, I am new to this site but have found it a great help already and hope some of you can help me with this problem I have on my 156 V6 2.5 2000reg. I replaced the alternator recently and after completing the works the car has developed what seems like a bad miss fire between 2500 -...

Sad to report the demise of a 156 on the M6 at jnt 1 Southbound this afternoon. When I passed the front had burnt out but the driver was safe; anyone on here? But it wasn't as bad as the Focus that was well ablaze on the M25 just past London Colney tonight, flames were 15 feet or so in the air...

Hi, Having a few problems with starting my 2 ltr spider most of the time! Sometime's it just fires straight up but most of the time it takes a few attemps, it usually goes if i wiggle the injector wires or unplug the switch just below the injector rail which sits on the inlet manifold just above...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knew what size fire extinguisher would be adequate for putting out a car fire? If nobody on here has any idea I'll ask one of our Fire Risk Consultants (I work in risk management) but would rather not as their explanations tend to go on and on and on and on...
