Enthusiast owned for 4 years with regular servicing carried out by me, and any issues fixed as soon as they were discovered. This car has wanted for very little during my ownership. It was parked up most of the way through lockdown, and started first time with a new battery fitted. Cambelt done...

Hi there, I recently had my car MOT’d and serviced. I drive an Alfa Romeo Mito Sportiva (57,000 miles). Only recently I have noticed that when I start the car it settles then begins to shake. It doesn’t shake when driving but when it is idle it begins to shake again. Any help on where to start...

Does someone had or have obd codes p1320 and p1305? Engine management light on. What can be the problem?

Hi All Collected my first G 2wks ago... a 2hr train ride there and 260 mile drive back up to Northumberland; enjoyed every minute but wish I'd played with the Dynamic button sooner!! ? Looks the business with the black leather, 18s and red Brembo's ? - see profile pic of her first fill up (how...

Hello, Going through a famous site for Alfa Romeo parts (I don't know if links are allowed), I noticed they offer a Squadra Sportiva Gas Pressure Shock Absorber - Rear Axle at a very affordable price (~50EUR) for the 147/156/GT. Is there someone here with personal experience with the...

Hi all, Proud new owner of a 2014 red Sportiva with Cloverleaf alloys and black leather interior, first Alfa I've owned and really enjoying it - I love that there aren't many around. Unfortunately the Sportiva badges' cloverleafs have almost completely faded from green, and rather than replace...

Hi guys, I'm trying to service my mito, I've found what I assume is the oil filter but can't find the drainage pin? The under carriage has a cover that I'm reluctant and pretty much unable to get off, is it under there or is there a easier access point? Cheers

Hi folks! First post here and a bit of a car newbie so please bear with me. I'm looking at buying a used Giulietta and came across a pretty nice spec 2013 Sportiva trim (1.4 petrol, 170bhp with a TCT). It's done 70k miles with FSH and looks in pretty tip top shape (intact bodywork, rims, clean...

Hi guys, I've had my Mito for quite a while and was just wondering if anyone had any idea on how to fold the back seats completely down? I mean there's 2 handles at the top of the seats that if compressed move the seats forward, but they then stop when touching the seat bottoms. The under of the...

Hi Guys, Been googling around and found few service schedules for above car. Does anyone have a definite dealers service schedule for this car? Asking here as some schedules say big service is every 5y some say ever 6y. Also I like to know what should be serviced so I can check they actually...

Hi, I'm interested in picking up a 6 year old (2013) Giulietta Sportiva. I would get a more recent one but it would have to be the Nav version and I'm not as fussed on the half velvet seats (although that half Alfa badge does look nice). The Veloce looks good but not as good as the Sportiva...

I have noticed today that I have pipe leaking to the left of the exhaust manifold. It looks like part of the retaining clip has broken away. Any ideas what this pipe does?

Hi All, Really interested in purchasing a Giulietta and would like to know more about your experience with the general reliability and running costs of owning this beauty. I will be covering roughly 20k miles a year ( for a year or two) and thus will require about 1 full service a year, what...

Hi All, new here, although had a Mito for the last 4 years. Hopefully upgrading to the 175bhp diesel Sportiva Nav Giulietts and whilst the official economy figures sound amazing I guess they are rather fantasy! I just wondered if anyone else has this model and what MPG they tended to get...

Lots of mods, anybody on here used to own this...

Hi Guys, I had a check engine warning light come up on the dash last week, literally a day before my MOT :grumpy: - anyway, the guys said the warning was related to the EGR valve, to pass the MOT they simply reset the light and sent me on my way recommending to get it checked out. Couple days...

I have just purchased a 2013 Sportiva (135 bhp) 5 speed, and I am not getting anywhere near the claimed 60 mpg. If anyone has the same model, can you please post what you are getting mpg wise? I have driven in Dynamic and Natural and the car is returning around 47 mpg on a run, without any...

Final Result Hi guys, First post here, but thought I’d get into it! I’ve had my Giulietta for a year now and I’ve always considered fitting a dual exhaust, but never known where to start. I’ve done a bit of research and spoken to some dealers, and the “twin exhaust” sold by alfa is appears...

Hi all, was wondering if anyone can help. Looking to buy a cadamuro rear wing for my MiTo, however, Squadra Sportiva only has 2 options. One is regular post at €85 which they refuse to use due to the loss of items. Another is DHL at €500. Does anyone have another option that they’ve maybe used...
