Hi folks, As my Spider is parked outside every night my locks will start freezing up any day now, and it's my daily driver so need it to get to work in the mornings. Every year I have issues with the locks freezing and don't want something to break by forcing it. What do the rest of you do to...

Hi All, First time post so hi to all! I bought a used 1.4 giulietta in mid june and the car is used 2014 plate and I have had no issues with it. Last Monday the cars digital dashboard rebooted to the stage where the logo first loads up and is stuck on that screen for a couple of minutes...

Hi new here 🙂 Have a 2014 Giulietta with the 6.5 uconnect nav screen. Been having a strange issue with music freezing the Media side of the unit. I have this past week had it freeze using USB and SD card. Radio, nav etc still work but media screen is stuck on a song, you can play or browse etc...

Hi guys, So I have my G 1.5 year now and the following has occurred a few times now. While I'm listening to the radio, suddenly my volume knob on both the steering wheel and the dashboard won't work anymore. Also changing the channel or pushing Preset is not possible. Worst of all is that the...

Hi have and giullieta q.v. line and over the last couple of mornings when it’s been really frozen up the first few engine revolutions make a grinding noise but this goes in a couple of seconds once the engine is going. This has only been in the freezing weather. Anyone got any ideas cheers

Morning all. Still loving the v6 and very pleased with my purchase after 6 days. I mentioned previously that it has a noisy tappet noise on cold start that goes away after a minute, and an occasional judder at idle. This morning was the first time I started the car in the proper frost so it...

Hi , have a new Mito QV line and twice now the doors refuse to lock when its sub zero outside. The unlock fine but they will not close for around ten minutes approx until the car heats up. My guess is back to the dealer but has anyone else experienced this !

Just spent the friggin coldest hour outside, but on the upside, windscreen washer pipe reconnected (after recently coming loose after fitting a new wiper motor), new crystal side repeaters fitted and a number of bulbs replaced on the speedo & rev counter. The things we won't do for our Alfas.

OK, it was Boxing Day and -8 degrees and the car (159 Ti SW, 58 Plate) had been sitting in those temperatures for a couple of days, in a fairly exposed position. I went to start it and a succession of messages appeared. No ABS, No VDC/ASR and No Hill Start - I live in the Chilterns,...the car...

Hi.....over the last fews weeks when the temperature has been around -7 to -8 my 156 engine has been overheating and there is no heat coming from the blower in the cab.When the outside temp rises to around freezing everything goes back to normal!! Is this a thermostat problem??

Hi folks... due to the snow / cold snap here in Ireland, I'm finding that my rear wheels are locked up most mornings. It's a real pain to get traction out of the driveway... but once I get moving, things seems to ease up. One of the neighbours pointed out this morning that my car moved about 100...

Hi all - I hope this is just because of the cold, and not an electrical problem - but after a particularly cold day, the driver side window didn't go down an inch while the door was opened. After that, the door either didn't close properly, or the sensor thought it was the case. I left the...

Hi, wondering if someone can help. I have an Alfa 147 which seems to lose power once started up in freezing temps after 4 to 5 hours. I started the car last night and the handbake seemed stiff. Once moving, the car was struggling To move until iput my foot down and after 5 mins it was almost...

To leave your handbrake off, just been out in mine for the first time since it snowed and remembered as i nearly spun a 180 trying to reverse out the drive :mad:

Has anyone experienced any difficulty in unlocking their car in a cold morning with frost? It has happened a couple of times on my 159 that no matter how many times you press the unlock key on the key fob it does not do anything...I tried to get the key out and I managed to unlock the car with...

December last year it was B freezing here, one of the worst winters we've had temperature wise for a long time. Minus ten C° and colder for a long spell. OK in the Alps, a wee bit cold in town... Anyway, with this brass monkey weather, I decided that I didn't want to stand around waiting for the...

Hi all Decided to join the AO club after coming across the site whist stumbling around the net searching for why my new mobile wouldn't show the network name on the dash display Then discovered the Mito "freezing belt" problem - I had it at xmas, although it doesn't seem to have affected the...
