Hi everyone. I recently took my car to a local mechanic to have the Blue&Me unit replaced, which involved removing the dashboard. Ever since this has been done, the engine noise has been significantly louder - I have to turn the music volume to 32 before it's drowned out. Looking at the rev...

Trying to solve an issue with the ac. Been fine since re-gassing but now it’s stopped going cold. Compressor still engages but I’ve noticed the fans don’t run. Check with multiscan, no codes, both hi and low speeds run when actuated so I assume relays are ok as I can here them. Pulled the...

Evening, I have searched the forum but couldn't find a similar post, if anyone knows of one please send on the link. My cooling fan does not come on at all when driving or when sat in traffic, the car has not overheated at all in the 3 years I have had it. Can anyone point me in the direction of...

Quite a few people have fitted the 295 Michelin PS4S tyres to their cars, and some are reporting rubbing while others say there is no issue. It would be very helpful if those with the 295 tyres could share their build dates and whether or not they have had any issues with rubbing? This way we...

I've fitted a new thermostat to my car as I suspected that the old one had failed open. Before I changed the stat, car would drop to 70 degrees when driving and only get to 90 in traffic. After I changed the stat, car gets up to temp nice and quickly, the ecu and temp gauge in car seem to...

Hi, what are the risks involved with driving my 156 without having the front wheel arch liners installed? The car is mostly used on the track but also on the road and I want to improve the airflow to the front brakes. Fog lights have also been removed. I'm in New Zealand, so no salted roads...

Help Needed - MSCF - Running Issues, Coolant Temp, No Temp Reading from OBD I had my car serviced this week, and at the same time had the thermostat replaced as I had noticed that although the gauge got up to temp slowly to 90 round town, if on a dual carriageway or motorway it would drop to...

Been a while since I was on this forum. Just a quick question on behalf of my son. I have searched for this but to no avail. On his 2011 Giulietta, the running lights have never worked. Appears the drivers side have gone off so the near side switch off by default. Is this normally a case of...

Hello All I've had my Veloce a month now and have covered about 600 miles. Up until I've been driving with restraint (most of the time!) to allow the car a chance to "run in." What would be the general conscensus as to how long one should wait, before allowing themselves to fully enjoy the...
