Is there a buyer's guide for the 156 GTA? I've been looking at some high mileage ones that are currently for sale and wondered if it's worth buying them for the relatively steep asking price. Also, what's the difference between the Q2 AND Quaife differentials? I've caught the ALFA bug! Sent...

I recently replaced my idle speed actuator (and reset it through diagnostics) to cure my idle hunting issue, but now I have another idle issue! When I've driving around normally, with no lights on, no radio, no AC, when I depress the clutch to come to a stop the idle drops to around 500rpm then...

Hi, I hear a high pitched noise from the area of the injectors when ideling, I have not much experience with diesel in general but I feel like it does not sound right. It is a bit hard to notice over the idle noise in my video. I do not hear anything inside the car or when driving so hard to...

I've been experiencing an intermittent misfire of sorts for the past few months now, but as the car has only just come back from its winter break I want to get it sorted. It only ever happens at high revs, just as I'm about to change gear at full chat between 1st-2nd or 2nd-3rd. It feels like...

It doesn't go below half way. The warning light comes on just before half way. So it seems to me the gauge shows a half a tank offset. Do I first start looking at the fuel tank end or the gauge end? Or is it summat else entirely?

Hello, i am new to forum but not new to Alfa romeo driving. I am from Bulgaria so please excuse me for possibly bad english ! So here is my story... Recently i went to a person for a ECU remap. Before that he made a diagnostic and tell me that the turbo is overboosting. On the dashboard the...

I've noticed that in glare or poor visibility a little message pops up saying stuff like Collision Warning unavailable etc. But sometimes I get a message that says Automatic High Beam is unavailable. However, my car doesn't have high beam assist. I was wondering, is there any way to retrofit...

Hi! I got a problem on my hands. No matter what, the ECU will not command the high speed fan to run. The fan is obviously working (tested with leads) but the ECU will not COMMAND it to run. Neither from removing the temp sensor, exceeding heat (over 100°C) or via an actuator command (from a...

Hi all, My first post here so be gentle... I have Alfa GT 3.2 that I bought a couple of month ago. I have sorted out a couple of electronic gremlins so far. But I have a odd problem that I need some help with. When I switch on the high beam or flush the windscreen the engine cuts out about...

Hey All, Need your advice, I'm considering to upgrade the factory pistons to Wossner High Compression Pistons 1:12.6 (factory pistons are 1:10), in my Alfa 147 2.0 TS. Does anyone here had experience with such process? Is there any additional parts will be needed to upgrade in order that to...

Hi, Does anyone know a good mechanic in Buckinghamshire who can swap the gear box and clutch over on an Alfa spider, and shim all of the valve guides? Thanks in advance
