  1. Alfa Giulietta
    So I’ve had this beauty of a car for around 6 months now. It’s been remapped prior to ownership and has done around 100k miles. recenently I was driving it and the car started to jerk back and fourth and the Revs kept bouncing up and down. So I just about drove it home to which I thought I’d...

  5. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    I bit the bullet at the weekend and stripped my turbo off my 20V to clean up the sticking vanes. I’m really chuffed as the turbo was in great condition (apart from the gunk) and the car is now back to its best. Its nice to be able to floor it without worrying about overboost/limp mode The...
  6. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hey experts Just saw this leak, I'm wondering should I be concerned with it? It's a 1.9 16v with 180000 km behind...
  7. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    2003 156 2.4 JTD The turbocharger on my car now makes a loud whining noise kind of like a distant police car siren at anything other than idle. This may yet turn out to be stuck vanes/split boost pipe, I haven't quite figured it out as yet. However while trying to troubleshoot the useless...
  8. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Today, happy to have some "good weather" get myself to clean my turbo again because it got stuck, again. Got myself under the car to unbolt the bolts and I noticed that the exit turbo pipe that gets the air to the radiator is cracked open too and oil covered parts where it aimed. This could...
  9. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hi all, So got this error after I took the EGR off for a clean - this was not my virgin attempt at cleaning the EGR - done many times. As a bit of background: Car is 2006 (totally standard - no blanking of EGR/no restrictor plate and no remap or tuning box) Inlet manifold was changed last...

    Hello all After just shelling out almost £2500 for a new dmf and full gear box rebuild im getting a p0238 error and limp mode. Its a P0238 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit High I know this could be sickly turbo veins and very expensive, is there anything else I can check first? Would it be...
  11. Alfa Giulietta
    As title says, I'm trying to find out if the turbo is watercooled or simply cooled by the oil going through it. When I previously had turbo cars, I always idled for a little while before turning off the car so that the bearings get cooled. Is it the same with the Giulietta? Also I wonder what...
  12. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    recently just had this issue for about 2 weeks, ive checked all the vac pipes, maf, map, airfilter, egr, and it still comes up with the mcsf light but intermittently and i then thought its possibly sticking vanes but the actuator arm moves freely?, so my final attack was to take the turbo off...
  13. Tuning & Upgrades
    TDI turbos want a 767878 garrett turbo to suit the 2.4 JTDm Alfa motor. (Brera, 159 etc). A failed unit would be fine also - its to use as a dummy to make a machining jig, but it must be complete. Answers here or on a postcard to Adam at tdi turbos.
  14. Tuning & Upgrades
    Turbocharger upgrade 110kw 159? My VNT's are sticking and the turbo has done now 220k, the best is of it, Proalfa said. Slight blue-ish smoke with startup, pulsing turbopressure, etc. EGR delete and DPF removed, slight custom proalfa remap towards around 190bhp. Car has lots of torque and...

    Hello guys, Even though i am here for a while, i am writing my first post now, because i need your help, or maybe advise. I hope you will understand me, because English is not my native language. I bought AR 1.9 150 HP, 2006 from the local dealer of used car. The car was imported from Italy...

  18. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Think my vanes are playing up as all well until you try and push it where the power is cut and I get the 'go to dealer' msg. Fault always re-occurs when push it over 3000 rpm. Had two 10vs before and both had to have new turbos after same / similar faults. Running as clean as wistle apart from...
