Hi Today my car (159SW 1.9jtdm automatic, 2008) developed a strange noise. It sounds kind of like scraping, knocking at times, plasticy-and metallish. I don't really know how to describe it. So far I have understood that: It seems to be in sync with front left tire spinning speed, occuring...

Hello all, I need to replace my power steering fluid. At the moment it’s clear no colour. Is this normal? Either way it’s getting changed. Its a 2001 Petrol Manual 2.0L T-Spark 147. Can anyone recommend which fluid to get and the volume of capacity since it’ll probably be flushed out? Many...

Morning All. I have a 2011 Giulietta 2.0 Diesel Veloce, after getting a few Alfa owners to look at my car and getting hold of an OBD scanner, I still can't clear the fault. I have a power steering fault, hill holder fault and DNA is not working. I've tried to clear the fault with the OBD...

If you had bought a used steering rack for a 156 GTA, are there any identifying features you could look for to confirm it was indeed a 156 GTA rack as opposed to a GT or 147 rack? I would have tried to measure the rack ends but they seem to have fused with the track rod end... I presume there is...

Hi, I've was reading a old thread here and the topic was power steering and how the reservoir needs changing if there is a whine sound. Well my 2006 Brera 2.2 has a whining sound if I pull the steering wheel full circle either way. It has the red Dextron III fluid in it which I was told leave...

Hi, I quite fancy a steering wheel with red stitching to match my red seats. I've noticed the Giulietta wheels with red stitching are more common than mito ones, and from eBay photos look to be the same, but has anyone actually tried it? Happy to swap all my trims, buttons and airbag etc over.

Hi all, I've been saving manfully for the last year and will be looking into a QV in March when the MOT on my old banger expires. I've currently narrowed down the search to post MY18 cars as I want Carplay, but the other 3 options I'm unsure about. I've had a couple of test drives and haven't...

Hi All, I noticed earlier this week that the 166 was making strange noises on full lock as Mrs G was turning the car round before heading off to work. Sure enough, I checked the fluid level today and it is very low (only just reaching the bottom of the dipstick). So I guess I have a leak...

Hi all I have a 2010 Cloverleaf and the previous owner wrapped the wheel fascia around the buttons etc but the wrap is peeling. Will a newer style steering wheel be a direct fit and can ?I use my current air bag in the new wheel. Pic1 is my current wheel (not the actual) and pic 2 is the one...

Can Milano owners confirm that their front seats and steering wheel are heated? I just bought a used Milano (delivery on Friday) and got a bit of a panic attack reading this Alfa brochure, where it shows that the Milano doesn't come with front heated seats and steering wheel (under the standard...

Ever since I got my Alfa it has had whining steering on slow speeds. I did some research online and found out that the power steering reservoir and fluid are messed up from the factory so I did replace the reservoir and ran about 2.5 liters of green hydraulic fluid through the system(return hose...

Hello, My Cloverleaf has recently developed an issue where the steering wheel on occassions (not always) shakes and shudders when breaking. I normally don't feel anything at low speeds and some days I feel nothing wrong at higher speeds. But quite often if I am going over 40 Mph and I press the...
