Hi there, Not sure whats going on with my Alfa 159 2.4 (210bhp) - smoking really badly took it for MOT FAILED! so I had some testing done - boost leaks on Hybrid turbo pipes and leaks found on CYL 4 & 5 swirl flaps. I took off all the turbo pipes and refitted the one that goes to the turbo...

After a few posts I'm still no nearer to an answer about the black smoke that pours out my 147 Q2 Sport when the turbo kicks in. The story is it ate all its swirl flaps and I had the whole top end rebuilt and a new turbo installed at a cost of £2300. So now, every time I put my foot down I get...

Hi all, just done a spark plug change along with my rocker cover gasket, just started the car and it started fine but now there’s white smoke coming out of my exhaust. What could this be? There was quite a lot of oil in two of the spark plug holes Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought this car almost one year ago. Previous owner told me that DPF was drilled, but ECU needs new remap because of "Anti Pollution Filter clogged" warning on dash and also EGR was blanked (MES shows 3,998% open or something). Car run perfectly without any problems. A few months later I...

Hey guys, Apologies for covering another smokey diesel thread but i couldn't find the answer i was looking for. Given it was a 5 min search. My 2.4 JDTM smokes like a chain smoking teenager on harsh acceleration. As far as i know the usual has been done to the car (had less than a month) ie...

Hello, I have a question. I have gotten my 1985 Graduate running great and have been cruising around town. The other day we were at a stop light and all of the sudden a large blueish cloud of smoke started coming out of the muffler. I shut it off and pushed it home. After several days I started...

Hi all, I purchased my first Alfa a couple of months ago it’s a 159 1.9 2009 plate. Recently I have noticed that when it gets up to temp on the water (90 degrees) it sometimes starts to smoke from the exhaust quite a lot, especially with the heaters on. It’s only intermittent and not all the...

not sure if anyone seen or posted

Hi I have owned my 1.9 diesel 159 for 3 months now and returned it to the dealer 3 times. The first time I thought it was on fire there was that much smoke filling the cabin and surrounding the car. it had no error messages and all temps were fine. I drive my car atleast 20 miles a day usually...

Hi Guys, I noticed my Alfa 156 2.0L 16v JTS Selespeed emitting smoke on my way home from Swaziland yesterday. Coming down the mountain from Lochiel I was coast down in 5th gear, and as I accelerated it emitted lots smoke. But soon after it stopped. Then I noticed that on the straight and...

Hi Guys, I noticed my Alfa 156 2.0L 16v JTS Selespeed 2004/5 facelift, emitting smoke on my way home from Swaziland yesterday. Coming down the mountain from Lochiel I was coasting down in 5th gear, towards the bottom of the hill I accelerated, and it emitted huge cloud smoke, but soon after...

Hi guys, Noticed my 156 2.0L 16v JTS Selespeed smoking. If I coast in top gear on a down hill then accelerate it smokes, but on the straight and uphill, also normal, driving no smoke. On high speed it emits a puff of when changing gears but in top gear no smoke. Could it be valve stem...

Evening all, I've had my 156 1.9 JTD now for a good few months, and very pleased with it. I've upgraded all of the the suspension, given it a good service, discs/pads/calipers, undersealed/cavity waxed, fabricated some new fuel tank straps - basically I've thrown quite a bit of money at it, but...

The smoking pack includes an additional 12V socket where the front drinks holders are. My dealer originally told me it was just an ashtray, but having seen a car and noticed the additional socket, I was able to change the order in time. So if you like having sockets for GoPros/Mobile...

Hi folks! I recently bought a 159 JTD 2.0 (2010) but it has a strange problem which has flumoxed one local garage (well at least the one that relies on the computer to find faults). About 10 mins into my morning commute, I get blue smoke up the rear window, but at no other time. It doesn't...

My old mans 159 2.0ti on 56k is blowing out loads of black smoke and is down on power. He's at work at the minute after driving there this morning when it started, he thinks his turbo has gone but has anyone got any ideas on what to look for when I go and meet him later when he finishes? He's...

I was just driving through town and my 159 started smoking from seemingly underneath the car. It seemed like quite a lot and the smell through the HVAC was quite strong. When I arrived at my destination I took a video of the smoke and opened the bonnet, where it also seemed to be coming from...
