Hi, I'm new here and hope to become GTA owner soon. There is a 156 3,2l GTA berlina from 2003 with 100,000km driven which I strongly recommend to buy. There is tapping sound from the engine at cold startup. It lasts for 15 sec before it disappears. Is there a valve lift that starts to be worn...

In the above-mentioned video, you can see exactly what I'm talking about. It's a split second fluctuation around the 850-ish RPM mark. Once it's steady, it's not fluctuating - it keeps it steady till I turn off the car. It only happens on startup and the engine temp doesn't make a difference...

Help! 159 jtdm 2.4 smoke on startup - injector issue? Hi Does anyone know why my 159TI blows a cloud of whitish smoke on startup. Only happens after being stopped for at least an hour. Doesn’t blow any when running otherwise. It’s been suggested it might be one leaking injector? Hope you can...

Greetings from Canada! I'm the relatively new owner of a 1997 Alfa Spider 2.0, probably one of the only few in the country. I love the car and it's been great, I've been tweaking it here and there to get it to 100%. There's this one niggle left to correct and it's this strange noise on...

Well after 3 months of GT ownership I've just encountered my first electrical gremlin it appears. I'd be grateful if anyone could help and point me in the right direction. On Sunday I went to use the car after it being stood for about ten days. It started first time and I drove for about 2...

From two days I've had this problem with my 147 1.9 16V . Belts and water pump have been changed 1 year ago(13K kms). Everytime on a cold start, there is a 3-4sec high pitch squeaking noise coming from the right side of the car. It happens only on start and only for a few seconds.. One month...

It is approaching MOT time for my GTV V6 in a few weeks and one of the jobs to tackle is the fact there is no warning light for the airbag system on startup. I have plugged in ecuscan software and the airbag system does not report any problems or errors. In fact it says the airbag system is...

Apologies for doubling up on a couple of the posts below: but I've hit a snag with the '96 Phase 1 Spider I've been getting back on the road. I put it through its MoT on Friday and was pleasantly surprised that it failed on two points only: handbrake adjustment and ABS warning lamp not...

Hi all just changed front breaks as break warning light kept flashing but ended up pads were fine but had a severed O/S pad sensor cable and missing plastic connection point (which i guess was flapping and making a connection somewhere triggering the warning light)... I changed the pads to...

My jTDM 2 2.0L has just started to make two or three loud knocks on start up. Its not like tappets or anything like that but it is two or three definite knocks. Car is fine all of the rest of the time running smooth pulling fine and it does not seem to be linked to revs at all. It is odd as...

Hi, I recently had the cats cut out of my exhaust manifolds of my 3.2 V6 GTV. The car now idles roughly and misfires on cold starts with an accompanying fuel smell. When the car is warm it behaves much better but the smell of fuel is still there. Is this normal for a decat system? The exhaust...

My 159 1.9 JTDM has had its DPF removed and the EGR valve blanked and has had these mapped out of the ECU. The car has also had a new turbo and inlet manifold in the last 6K. When starting from cold there is always a puff of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. It clears immediately and as...

My 2008 JTS 159 has today started to rattle on start up. No problem this morning on a cold start up. I drove into town and it was fine then when I started it up again while still warm it has developed a diesel like rattle. I turned it on about 5 times to see if it is recurring and it does it...

Hey! So, i've had my Alfa for roughly two weeks now - and the todo list is getting longer. Perhaps i should not have bought it, but i felt a responsibility saving it from the hands of the previous owner and give it some much needed TLC. It's a 156 2.0 TS with 190000km on the clock and was born...
