Hi All, I noticed earlier this week that the 166 was making strange noises on full lock as Mrs G was turning the car round before heading off to work. Sure enough, I checked the fluid level today and it is very low (only just reaching the bottom of the dipstick). So I guess I have a leak...

Have been working on my own cars for years, mainly Rover's, Alfa Romeo's and Lancia's. There's one thing though that tends to puzzle me sometimes, and how people rave about it so much, and that's the subject of penetrating fluid. Plus Gas, WD40, Triflow, P Blaster - there's loads of them. I...

Hi all Can someone advise how I should check the power steering fluid on my GTA I checked it with the engine cold and it sat on the min line then checked hot and its at the max line. The power steering pump is noisy even on the move so just need to rule low fluid out. It's noisy once engine...

Hi all, Got an issue with my windscreen washer bottle ejecting fluid into the engine bay which is making a bit of a mess as I'm trying to keep the bay clean.. I posted over at Stelvioforum.com and haven't had any replies to say anyone has experienced the same issue. However, I reckon most of...

Just got my 159 back from the garage and noticed a whining noise coming from the steering wheel that wasnt there before it went in. I opened up the bonnet and checked the fluid and its dark brown. Correct me if im wrong but shouldnt it be red. there seems to be spillage of brake fluid in the...

Hi guys, first time poster, long time lurker. I have got the dreaded steering grind/whine noise, leading me to believe (I hope) that I need to change the reservoir and fluid. My car is the 159 1.9 JTDM Lusso (07/08). It has 74,000 miles on the clock. Upon checking the fluid, it has the red...

So after reading through multiple thread and guides on here. i decided to change the transmission fluid, the behavior of gearbox isn't the best, hesitate to change, grumpy etc. I've done staged transmission fluid changes on other cars in the past, so it was pretty run of mill. I didn't use...

After fixing the fuel pump last night I noticed fluid on the drivers mat, slightly oily so not water or coolant I don't think. Thought it might be related to 'sticky clutch pedal' e.g. leaking clutch master but that seems dry.. Sticking clutch 'might' have been caused by the corrosive...
