Hi, I am having trouble sourcing some parts, especially fasteners. I also see that there is an enormous amount of quality producers of automotive fasteners out their that produce multiple products that seem to match alfa part numbers. So i would like to match these 3rd party fasteners to...

I take it when you configure your car at the dealership you have to live with any specification changes made at the factory before you get your car? Reason I'm asking is I've ordered a Super and at the time it came with fog lights which seem to have disappeared from the UK configurator.

Afternoon All, Not that I'm a pessimist but.....I don't have a tow eye bolt. Missing when I bought the car (there is a long list of defects this is a minor one...) Whilst ebay has listings for generic eye bolts I have no clue how long an original one is or anything about it. In fact I still...

Just looking at the new Giulietta handbook and Alfa have changed the oil specification for the Multiair engine: Looks like it's low friction to aid economy.

Greetings All, My Giulietta 2012 TB 1.4 has now been with me a couple of months and I am delighted with it! I want to buy a few mechanical parts for it and need the specification for my car. Is there a way to get it from the VIN number? For example brakes, there seems to be a lot of different...

I bought some aftermarket slider pin kits for the rear brakes on our 03MY 147 GTA. What arrived was 75 x 8mm P/No: BCF1346D but they are way too thin, equal length and fit like a Wizard's sleeve... the correct ones are asymmetric in length and 10mm diameter. The caliper isn't marked Alfa...

Can anyone itemise what changes were introduced for the MY08 Brera with any links to resources. I found this link with the specifications described, but it does not quite clarify when the mechanical changes were introduced. Was it in late 2007 when the 210BHP performance increase came, or was...

Hi all I am new to this forum so I hope I am not going over old ground here. I would like help to really understand the operation of IDF fitted to many Alfas, Porsches, VWs and other applications so that others do not have the problems I have had getting these carbs working. In fact I think...

I've been looking at ads for some of these models. I thought that they all had the Q2 diff and 170BHP, but some ads say the spec is 150BHP and some say 170BHP - none mention the limited-slip diff. Model years have been primarily 2008 and newer that i've looked at. can anyone shed some light on...

Hi I'm Becks and have just registered to this site tonight as I am hoping to purchase an Alfa Romeo 147;) I have my eye on a particular one at present but unfortunately just a mechanical concern I feel I should check out before I end up taking it to the mechanics more than driving it for my own...

Wasnt able to find the right thread to answer my questions so either its outrageously expensive to do OR its just easier to buy a Veloce to begin with :lol: I have a 2004 2 litre 156 JTS Lusso, it was advertised as a Veloce 1 but i wont get into that. I want to start pricing up where to get the...

Im swaping my exhaust heatshield in the engine bay for one less cracked and chewed up. Can someone tell me the diameter, thread measurement and length of suitable bolts. Alternatively post a link to some suitable bolts at homebase or similar. Thanks

Hi all, Search function isn't getting me quite where I want to be. I'm doing / have done a deal on a 159 Ti at the moment but wanted to check what the standard spec was for the 2008 Ti (if any). E.g. are the seats electrically adjustable on all the Ti cars? Driver only? Cheers. :thumbs:

Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me. I currently have the standard wheels on my car - 205/55 R16. Also the wheel size seems to be 6.5J I would like to change them for 17" rims - 215/45 R17. However, I am slightly confused on two aspects: 1. Would it be possible to go from...

Hi I'm new to the forum - and have to say some excellent posts and advice on here. I'm thinking of buying a GT - 1.9 Jtd - have been looking around for a while, but not coming across the right car. I have seen a Blackline advertised - and am considering going to view it. Can anyone...

:cry: High all. I have recently purchased a CAT C accident damaged 156 2.4 JTD 10V Sportswagon which I have repaired. The car was registered on June 2002. I have no hand book etc. I have phoned 4 main dealers in the UK so I can find out the BHP of the car and the model. All they have come up...

Hello, does somebody know the characteristics of GTA cams? Could you post it her please? I would like to know mainly EX/IN cam lift, duration and timing. Thanks. I have data for 3,0 V6 but cant find anything for GTA.

Is there anywhere on this site or other that lists the specification history. I am thinking in particular of when facelifts occur and the improvements/changes that are made to specifications. Thanks Steven
