    Hello 166 forum members I've a big problem for my first tech post! I have a 166 3.0 auto 1999 model and have just changed the cambelt, bearings and tensioner plus the water pump, thermostat and spark plugs. I used Eldon camlocks and crank timing was set with the marks on the flexplate...

    Shortly going to be fitting winter tyres on my Veloce. 225 front and 255 rear. 18s. Apparently no Pirelli availability until November. I checked with local dealers and also with the PPC in Burton. So, my local dealer is offering Goodyears at a good price. However, they are not runflats. Does it...

    To other owners of this vehicle model - Do you know what the tyre pressures are for run flats? I'm not sure if the owner's manual indicates tyre pressure or mentions the values are for run flats? Thanks.

    Well today was my first long run in my 147 1.6 twin spark since buying it. 190 miles at an average of 38 mpg, is this any good? The car seems to get better the more I drive it. Prior to my purchase it had been sat in a garage for 18 months. My normal test is to sit at 70 with cruise control...

    Had nice run with a Porsche Boxster S on the weekend. Saw him fly past me in traffic with a loud exhaust and I couldnt resist chasing after him. Then I saw there was another car chasing him also in my mirrors. We fly through the traffic and hes going pretty quick and I have no problem keeping...

    Can anyone confirm whether the 2018 QV comes with run flats or not? I have a flat front tire, and the dealer has ordered a new run flat tire. However, the manual states that models with run flats "are not equipped with the foam insufflation device"... My car is equipped with that... It's in the...

    Can anyone enlighten me as to why the Veloce spec comes with 'run flats' as standard? We have 'run flats' on our BM and I find them a bit rubbish and they will soon be replaced with regular tyres. The other Giulia variations, including the QV, all have regular tyres.

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me. Our second car was hit on Saturday night and the driver disappeared.

  16. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hello all, Quick question. I was wondering if anyone knew of the easiest and least intrusive way of running a wire from the engine bay to the drivers side fuse box area. From where I see it, the electrical wires running into the cabin are all loomed together and run into a tight plastic holder...

    As I write this, I'm in Facebook chat communication with the Alfa guru here in Sofia, looking to get an indicative pricing for a clutch replacement for my car. It's basically no different from when I bought it last July but he told me then, just from the pedal pressure, that the clutch was...
