  1. Alfa 33, Sud & Sprint
    Hello all, I am changing the timing belts on my friends 1988 Sprint. It is a 1.8L 8v Sprint, 100 tooth belt. I started this project this week, will go back next week to finish it out. It looks straight forward, but I wanted to verify the cam timing marks-are they both in the 12 o’clock position...

    Can I have a photo of the camshaft marking on the 1.9 JTD engine for GT? I do not have one. What position is the camshaft sprocket marking when locking it with a bolt?
  3. Alfa Giulietta
    Hi All, I have a 2012 QV with the 1.75 TBi, I am in the middle of a timing belt change, cams are locked, water pump, idler and tensioner have been replaced etc. I am currently trying to fit the new cam belt and the Haynes manual wants me to loosen the bolts at the centre of the cam pulleys and...
  4. Engines (TS, JTS, JTD & V6)
    I need some help from those far more knowledgeable than me. I am about to change my cams to some CatCam items and I thought whilst I was there I would install the CatCam vernier pullies. The issue is the new exhaust pulley has no cut outs for the cam sensor to read 😬. Has anyone got experience...
  5. Engines (TS, JTS, JTD & V6)
    Hi all, I'm new here but I've been lurking for a while. I've recently become the proud owner of a facelifted Alfa 166 fitted with the venerable 3.2 unit. I bought the car as a laugh as it has over 300 000 miles on it (on its second engine, but original 'box) and zero rust. One of the previous...
  6. Engines (TS, JTS, JTD & V6)
    Today I checked the timing on my Busso 3.0. The results looked pretty bad - interested to know what others think. It's in a recently-acquired GTV that has not run for several years; the guy I bought it from was in the trade and mentioned his mechanic had changed the cambelt at some point. The...
  7. Alfa 33, Sud & Sprint
    Hello Since I repaired the engine of my 33 1.7 16V, I´m having problems with it. I opened some topics here in the past but haven´t solved the problem. The problem is the engine "pings" or "knocks", doesn´t have the power it had and always works hotter them normal, and as mutch as it gets...
  8. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Evening, I’m stripping my engine bay to get to my timing chains, with the engine still in. Got down to the crankshaft pulley and finding it really hard to get off using a 3 arm puller after removing the crankshaft bolt. Has anyone got any ideas on how to get the pulley off? Also, I removed...
  9. Alfa MiTo
    Hi All, I have just bought my Daughter a 2010 1.6 jtdm as a runabout. it has a reasonably good history but I can find no evidence of a belt change. it runs very sweetly and with 110,000 on the clock I am guessing the belt must have been changed at some point. For my own piece of mind I will be...
  10. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi guys! Pardon me if this has been asked before, I've searched the internet for an answer but I couldn't find one. I'm planning to change my timing belt, serpentine belt and water pump on my 2005 GT JTD. With the power of AutoData YouTube and a lot of reading I've got the step by step...
  11. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    HI On a 1.9 JTD diesel (european vehicle left sided Wheel) It broke, so I need to replace it, but I am not sure what position should the camshaft be. My reference is when the piston at the left is at the top position... Or any other position?
  12. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    This is ridiculously cheap: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Timing-Chain-Kit-For-ALFA-ROMEO-159-Brera-Spider-JTS-939A0-3-2-V6-W-O-Gear-/173695167199#shpCntId Like a couple of others on here at the moment I've had a rear bank rattle diagnosed as a timing chain issue. My garage said it was a timing...
  13. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    I have had a diagnostic check confirm that I need to change my timing chain on my 159. I need to drive to London from Scotland and back before getting the issue fixed. Can anyone tell me if this will damage anything more major or will I just get poor performance and poor fuel economy? Also any...
  14. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    I replaced my timing belt, turned over and ran fine. When putting my foot down hard there is intermittent juddering, no warning lights. Any suggestions if you have experienced the same would be grateful, thanks.
  15. Republic of Ireland
    Hi all, I was quoted €1200 by Grandon's in Cork for a timing belt change and full service on the Giulietta. To be honest, I nearly died of shock when I heard that figure. Sounds extremely high to me. It's the 1.6 multijet engine so it's not like I'm bringing in a super rare beast, the same...
  16. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Thats the timing belt, aux belt and water pump done. Plus the offensive sump plug has been forcibly removed and an oversized one put in. Needless tp say it also got some nice motul 10x60 and an oil filter. Its running pretty well! Quieter, which i imagine is down to the new oil. Thanks to all...
  17. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hello every one, i am wondering how you guys set the timing for your v6 engines correctly ? i have ordered many cam locks starting from the red ones on ebay and they did not work or fit correctly ending with this one from ebay and it is expensive, and the seller told me he is working with it...
  18. Alfa 147, 156 & GT

  20. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi, The last time the car got the timing belt replaced was at 58k miles (October 2014 with previous owner). The car has now 114k miles. I believe that the belt should be replaced every 70k miles or 5 years, isn't it? I have booked a timing belt and water rump replacement at the Alfa Workshop...
