Hi everyone. I'm a first time Alfa Romeo owner and driver. Starting with the 166. Hope I can learn from the experienced Alfisi on the forum.

I bought it a year ago, 156 Busso, 62k Miles and a very personal history. 3 years off the road and I just couldn't justify spending the money the put it back on. (Kids come first and that) A Stolen van and an insurer playing the long game. It's funny how the world works but its the only car I...

My 159 takes ages to warm up in cold weather especially with the heater on. When it gets up to 90 it stays there as it should. When I bought the car it didn't sit at 90 so I replaced the thermostat with one off ebay which cured that issue. How long do other people's 1.9s take to warm up? Is...

Hi Folks, First time owning an Alfa, i got a 2015 1.6 jtdm Giulietta business for my wife. Looks good, drives well and for a 1.6 engine, it's fairly nippy. Looking forward to hints, tips and general advice. Thanks BaggyFX

Mods, I hope this is not against the forum rules but I did have a search and others have been permitted to post on the general forums when selling. Apologies if that is not the case. It's taken me a few weeks to decide but I have reluctantly come to the decision to sell my beloved Quadrifoglio...

Hello All New member here and I'm looking for a few opinions. I know I'm preaching to the converted, but I'd still value your opinions please. I've owned a red GT 3.2 for 4 years now and it's been trouble free until this year, but this year it's been really trying my patience. It's already...

Evening all. So, I’ve loved cars all my life :) But had to drive company cars for most of it :( Until now! I’ve just retired (early) and just bought a 2017 Giulia Quadrifoglio :) I take delivery on Tuesday and really can’t wait. At the grand old age of 58 I feel like a kid waiting for...

I've got 58 plate ***** romeo 159 on 140000 miles and it's ready for a service. Obviously I don't want to pay for the labour as it usual cost more the parts so the question is what do I need and where can I get the parts from and is it easy to do? Thanks

Hi all, car is 2.4 159 2008 Menu button is broken and I'm trying to avoid fixing the stalk for the time being. I've read on here that you can set the time with multiECUscan but for the life of me I cant find the setting. Which unit do I connect to? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

For sale is my 2011 Giulietta Veloce 2.0 JTDM2 170 BHP Diesel. I've had the car since July 2018 and have covered 14000 trouble free miles. It has approx 10 months MOT. During my ownership it has had the following work done: Full timing belt and water pump kit at 64000 (at a local Alfa...

Hello from Western Australia! Just bought my first Alfa, an '08 147 2.0, after a long run of fast Nissans. Absolutely in love with it so far!

So after noticing my inner nearside CV boot was split last year, I got the boot replaced and joint re-packed with grease - but alas, it's now clicking away at low-speed manouvering/parking. Gave the shaft a decent shake yesterday and there's in/out play in the inner joint... Went to compare the...

ATS Air Con recharge for £38 (£40 for some) via Groupon. Not as good as £30 last year but hey ho still a lot cheaper than most places.

“The investigators suspect that "an official from the Stuttgart business audit office revealed confidential information to a tax advisor of Porsche AG and accepted benefits in exchange," they said in a statement. Almost 200 police and prosecutors searched the luxury car maker's offices, tax...

Hi the MONO is permanently on. Any ideas? Thanks

Hey guys, I would like to share my experience as a first time owner. Hopefully it'd help a few people who maybe thinking about getting a new Giulia. When I first laid eyes on the Giulia in LA auto show, I knew it was time for an upgrade. I decided to wait a year before getting mine to avoid...

I know some of you are still sporting the original RadioNAV. To give it a bit longer life, maybe you would like to update it to the latest version available. I did this yesterday. Its not that hard. What you need: - 8GB SD card (NOT SDXC, no larger than 32gb) - RadioNAV as in this picture...

At Geneva yesterday I noted the absence of ,among others, Jaguar LandRover, Volvo( but not Polestar), Ford , Mini , Opel but some signs of electric cars. Seat has created a premium brand using the Cupra name , not unlike Polestar but Citroen did not show DS. Fiat seemed to returning to their 80s...

Hi everyone I have just brought at the weekend 159 ti tbi in black on 2009. It’s lovely looking car I’ve had few BMW’s in the past and just got bored with so fancied a bit of a change with this Alfa. Driven around 200 miles now and feels fast and very smooth power delivery it as had an remap...

I might be joining the ranks shortly with a 147 JTD. Already scoured the forum for buying advice. Hope to be here for a while... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
