    Hello everyone, My 2012 MiTo 1.3 jdtm diesel 85 with 160.000km on clock appears to have these issues that are possibly related. Issue 1: White smoke at 3rd gear in about 3000 rpms. In 0 gear, if i press instantly accelerate pedal right to 5-6 rpms a lot of smoke is coming out from exhaust...
  2. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    Hey all. I just acquired a 95 916 2.0 TS 16v. This car has been in a climate controls storage unit for the past 5 years and has hardly been used. It has 30,000km on the odometer and is in really good shape… or so I thought… I am burning oil a a very high rate. 1 quart per 100-150km. I don’t...

    Hello guys, so I was driving copilot when the driver stalled the car. Then when starting again, he felt no steering assist and something was smelling bad but we tough maybe it is not us. We drove 5 minute more to a parking and there was whiite smoke coming out from the side of the pumps, and as...

    I've been getting a low oil pressure message sometimes when I start my car and its mostly on a cold start or sometimes when its been driven, then left parked for an hour and started again. The warning usually disappears after 5-10 seconds and the oil level is sufficient but sometimes I feel that...
  6. Alfa Giulia
    Hi, my Giulia 2.2 diesel (180) 2017 is showing an 'Low oil pressure' warning message. The oil level is fine. Does anyone have a diagram or photo of where the sensor is? My mechanic was told that by the Alfa dealer that a faulty sensor is usually the problem. Does anyone have the part number for...
  7. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    After a fairly severe overheating (blocked cat, hundreds of miles from anywhere, limped home) I needed to remove the exhaust for repair. Several of the studs in the head came out with the exhaust manifold nuts. No threads of aluminium, though. A couple of these studs were wet with motor oil on...
  8. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi all, I recently had to say farewell to my 159 to make way for my dream spec Brera! That being said I have heard through some guys on Instagram that the 2.4 is a needy engine and have heard different things when it comes to servicing it. I am just looking for some recommendations for a decent...
  9. Alfa Giulietta
    Hello, I have G 2011 1750TBI and I drive it for ~6k kms to that point. I bought it on 175k km and I checked the oil today. It is a little bit under the middle mark of the stick. Is that normal for that engine because I couldn't find anything about that. It is probably like 1/2 liter for that...

    Hello everyone from Türkiye! I read topics about C635 transmission but I want to learn current situation. Firstly I should say, I have a Fiat Tipo(ÆGEA) 1.6 Multijet, not Alfa Romeo. I'm sorry for that but forum members so experienced and I would like to benefit from your experience. Gearbox...
  11. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hello all! Poked around the engine and noticed allot of shiny buildup around the throttle body and the air duct leading to the turbocharger. (Took some pictures). When I dismantled the air duct leading to the turbo I noticed some oily buildup around the pipe, never been like this before when...
  12. The Classic Alfa Romeos
    Hello all. I’m wondering if someone can help with my oil pressure gauge. I’m assuming it’s broken and not making any sense but thought I’d check on here anyway. I’ll link two videos on iCloud. The one that is 32s was when cold straight after start up. The 40s video is after a 6 mile drive...

    Dear Alfisti, Upon seeing a video about what lack of oil pressure can do to crankshaft bearings, I tried to read my oil pressure in MES and to my disappointment, it is not possible! Therefore, I investigated a bit into installing pressure and temperature gauges for the oil and people are...
  14. Alfa Giulia
    My veloce has done 120,000 KM, so a gearbox oil change is long overdue. ZF recommends no more than 80K, so it is a late already. Having watched several video's, changing the oil looks to be a pretty straight forward job to do myself. The only 'issue' I see is that they go over all the gears...

    Has anyone experienced the oil check screen not updating on the 2.0TB ? The default reading I get is as shown in image 1. If I follow the process to obtain an updated reading, I get the reading as shown in image 2. I added 300ml of oil and still get the same reading in image 2 after following...
  16. Alfa Giulia
    Did my first service on my Giulia, now trying to figure out if the amount of oil in my engine is what it's supposed to be. So what I didn't read anywhere but found out by accident (not sure if anyone is aware or I just missed it), is that when you do a oil change procedure on MES connected to...

    I was having a look under my 159 1.9jtdm sportwagon for (Front sub-frame rust) and noticed a layer of oil covering various parts middle/frobnt bottom of the engine. Just wondering if this is something I need to attend too or just a non older diesel issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. wa

    Hi guys, thought I would ask for help as I don’t know if I overfilled or not. My car is a 2.2d and it does have dipstick but it’s absolutely useless when topping the car up. Used the electronic reading when topping up, took me about half an hour when topping up as I was too scared of...

    Hello, My 147 2.0 T-Spark petrol goes through quite a bit of oil. And there’s the oil leak too… im doing a long distance motorway drive 200 miles soon then back again 4 days later. I’m guessing as the oil heats up over a long distance it gets thinner and leaks out at a faster rate than cold...
  20. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hey, I drove home one day with my Alfa Romeo 147 (Diesel, from 2009), which never had problems with the oil pressure etc. The oil lamp turned on and i stopped my car and looked into the engines area. It had a little bit of oil on top which kinda calmed me down as I still had enough oil in my car...
