kms

Hi all, I've just got 2008 147 Selespeed in black which I'm really pleased with, I used to have a 147 JTMd Collezione which i think had the comfort pack installed and was wondering if i can retro fit the rear vent at the end of the centre console? Also, the odometer reads in KM, is this...

How many KMs you have on your 166 on the original engine ... and still runing as new?

I'm about to buy a 2005 147 1.6. The seller has a spare instruments panel with the lcd screen that tells you fuel consumptions, average speed and such other things, which the original panel doesn't have. The problem is, when installed, it marks 170000 km, being 70000 the real ones of the car. Is...

I should probably post this elsewhere but my reference is my Giulietta so I'm posting it here. Was given an A3 1.4T FSi Sportpack S-Tronic as a rental car in Durban, no Group B cars available and a nice upgrade from the normal Polo and Corolla. Had it for 2 days and 500 kms, not much I know...

:rolleyes: this is one of the lowest mileage 33's I've seen here and I know the first owner who did just 56K on it. Very tempting to upgrade mine. factory A/C and power steering and less than half the mileage mine has. injection so wife can't complain about me constantly trying to tweek my...

I've had my GMA TCT for just on a month now and just passed 2 000 kms. There is not much I can add to what has been said on this forum before except that I love my car, it exceeded all my expectations and I can't fault it in any way. I owned a 2002 147 Selespeed before which I really enjoyed...

Speedo & Kms clock has stopeed working. This happened that same time that both the ABS & handbrake light come on. On some occasions in the morning when the car is cold, they seem to be working fine. but then the speedo suddenly drops to zero and the light come back on. A mechanic friend of...

Hey guys what was your record in seconds doing 0 to 100 kms? iv done 7.5 with the 155 tb =) ehehe and you?

Hi all as this is my first alfa 147, what is due on the 120,000 serivce? I need to get the rear pads done and a new fuse for the cig lighter (stupid plug in ipod thing blew the current one) but is it just oil, filters and plugs? thanks

I've been driving my car for three months now (though not continually of course :lol:) and have past 10.000 kms by now, so it's time for a small review. It was a hard choice for me to get the car in Tornado Blue, but I'm very happy I did. Luckily I've not been too bothered with stone chips in...

Hi, As a newbie wanting info on the terrible suspension on my 2004 1.9JTD GT, the site has been of great help...it seems that Koni FSB's with Eibach Pro springs are the way to go... For those of you worrying about the longevity of these cars...i bought my GT 6 months ago here in northern...

I know this topic seems to have been thrashed to death, and I realise that all you car LOVERS will change your oil every week if it keeps your motor in pristine condition. However, I bought this car because my old one was costing me a thousand bucks a year to service, and the salesman told me...

Okay hit 4000 kms this week. Here's a summary: Oil consumtion: 1/3 litre Average fuel consumption: Motorways: 9 l/100km = 26 mpg (140kph) Urban: 13 l/100km = 18 mpg Annoying Stuff: Driver's seat started to "rock" again. Brake's squealing in...

Hey, Just purchased my first Alfa 156 JTS selespeed, used, with 25,000kms but the brakes are SHOCKING. The dealer said he would look at them, then his mechanic said they were fine. Anyone ever had problems with brake performance or is it just the pads? I was expecting fairly decent brake power...

Hi guys, :mad: :mad: :mad: :rant: :rant: :( :( I was driving my 2001 2.0TS 147 Selespeed - with 57.000kms on the clock - on the motorway in Germany - doing a 170kms/h - and heard some odd hollow sound from the engine. I didn't trust it at all and carefully drove to the nearest Alfa...

Lets try this again (the first msg seems to have bombed out!) I am having trouble getting reliable times for 0-100kms (0-62mph) for the alfa 147 2.0 s/speed. I have had quotes from below 10secs, to 10.22 secs. Does anyone have any quoted figures from a reputable car magazine/accurate tests...

TO NUMAN AND ALL THE FELLOWS: I HAVE 28.500 KMS. ON THE CLOCK OF MY 155-2.0-1997 16 VALVS. AND THE OTHER DAY MY MECHANIC SAID THAT AT 30.000 Y WOULD HAVE TO DO THE CHANGING OF THE TIMING BELTS, GEARS, BEARINGS, VARIATOR, ETC. WHEN I ASK HIM IF HE WAS TALKING SERIOUS, HE SAID YES, IT IS VERY...
