This is meant to be a thread for the- possibel - mechanical development of Tonale. Probably they had a go ahead of Project beginning 2019. I.e. resources incl. money was approved based on a pre-study. Likely project timing is then 30 month - SOP july 1 2021. INFO is that T will be based on...

Very sadly "Cinderella" didn't make it to the annual Alfa Ball today near Bicester, due to a fuel feed problem. She had been backfiring a bit for a couple of weeks then we noticed difficulty in keeping her engine running/idling, suggesting that she wasn't getting enough fuel. The fuel level in...

Hi I did a 200 mile journey in my 3.0 V6 today. It was 28C when I left so put on the aircon. It has never been ice cold but today the chill was barely noticeable. As the journey progressed it got less effective so after an hour or so I could feel no cooling effect of the aircon. I thought it...

I have an issue trying to restart my car after a rebuild. I am getting no fuel from the mechanical fuel pump, I have tried a pipe direct from fuel container, another new fuel pump, checked the rod is moving everything, but still no fuel? Any ideas

Hello, There is a really strange intermittent noise coming from what sounds like behind the dashboard. It's mechanical, like something gear driven moving. It starts from right and moves to left. Lasts about a second, and then cycles from right to left again. Then it goes away for a while, and...

Hi I'm looking for an Alfa specialist to carry our a pre-purchase inspection on a 159 SW in Glasgow, I've been trying to reach C&M Garage Services, no luck yet are they still operating ? Shawlands would be the next option fairly close to the car. Glasgow owners can you make any suggestions...

Good Morning, On my 33 I have a mechanical fuelI pump replaced twice but never failed. I had an in-line fuel filter (The ones you can clean made of copper beads) and as soon as I reach 1/2 tank the car is going to eventually stall and die without fuel. I usually open up the filter - use carb...

Hi guys, First time poster here :byebye: I have been driving my Mito for around a year now, never had a mechanical issue with it before really. She has been good as gold considering how hard I drive her. She's only the 1.4 16v 95hp Sprint Edition, so not much going on under the bonnet...

Hi all, Pondering a Gtv V6 to purchase but hear of woes a few months in. I can twirl some spanners as its just nuts and bolts really if no welding required. If I was to remove say an engine with blown head gaskets and take the lump to an engineer and get the work done including all new belts...

Hi, Are there existing parts to convert hydraulic followers into mechanical ones for TS 16v engines ? We'd need a part to replace the adjustment system (finger), and we'd need a shim on the 7mm stem. Something like on the picture below (taken from here) Or did someone make the conversion by...

Hi guys, I have an Alfa Romeo 156 and I have lost all keys but master key. My master key broke last week but I managed to find the Transponder chip and so I used the chip with the left over metal key to turn on my car. The problem is that now I have lost the metal key BUT I still have the...

Hi all, I know what the score is with PCP, voluntary termination and cosmetic repairs, but what about mechanical repairs? I am wanting to terminate the finance on my Fiat but due to a million other massive bills due at the same time and therefore no money to buy a replacement I can't do this...

Wondering if cheap oil pressure gauges are inaccurate at lower oil pressures. maybe it becomes less linear below 15 psi. Mine still reads 10 psi with the 16v oil pump. At around 900 rpm it reads 10 psi, but a small increase in revs, say to approx 1200 rpm it jumps to 30+ psi at hot idle...

Would anyone know where I can obtain the long (about 20cms) spring that fits alongside the clutch actuation rod on a mechanical clutch setup? See to have mislaid it - very careless! Alternatively, would anyone know the springrate in N/mm or lbf/in as it isn't on CarDisc or any of the technical...
