Parts changed in March: MAP Sensor Overboost valve (Pierburg) New MAF fitted and tried, still low readings - two months ago. Issues the car has: - First gear seems to have no boost at all, other gears need some time to get up to boost and then the car pulls; not as it should but still the...

Nice review online by the Britain's best loved and read newspaper, "The Sun". https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/2936448/we-review-the-191mph-alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-a-ferrari-with-an-alfa-badge/ They are convinced its a Ferrari with an Alfa badge but rate the car very much. This review...

Erm, a dusty trail, a field, a stream, a big idiot, and the M3. You can probably work out which is which :biglaugh: I don't know why, but I'm strangely drawn to those spaces either side of roads, especially motorways. Only millimetres separate the rush of traffic and people getting on with...

I decided to make a MES log, before deleting DPF and noticed that the boost pressure is quite unstable at wot. The gauge is also varying from 100 to 200 mbar. Could it be Map sensor? Was cleaned at the same time of manifold and egr-off ... I never noticed before because i like to look at the...

Hi, Would someone know the ignition advance stock TS engines must have ? According to OBDII I'm getting 21 degrees on my 1.8TS from 4000rpm up to 7000 which looks low. 1.8 or 2.0 should be close to each other. If by chance you had the air flow at WOT I'd be interested as well. Thanks

Have a new little issue ....few days ago my handbrake alarm has been sounding on take off when clearly fully disengaged (thump normally cures) ....this coincides with a nasty release clunk from back end when reversing out of drive in the morning and poor handbrake hold on steep hills ......brake...

Today my 2.0 TS GTV seems to have developed a problem :( When I accelerate on wide open throttle the engine massively hesitates and bogs down. It gets so bad that the revs wont actually climb any more. If I ease off the throttle a bit, to around 80% the car revs freely again. In fact if I...

God bless alfa design guys! Just in the middle of testing the 146 got knocked back on a split steering rack gaiter had to take half the car to bits to get at it. Took out the air filter unit the battery and the crossmember which the rack hangs on both track control arms off the only consolation...

Just picked up my GT 1.9 JTDm and all was fine on the journey home and then the music stopped!! The radio is still showing a display etc so can't be a fuse so I am only guessing there must be a loose connection on the speakers. Has anybody else experienced such issies? I am hoping to get a...

I want to sell these 'ere 18" GT multispoke jobbies, but no idea really what to offer them at, or if anyone's particularly interested? These photos represent all the damage I've noticed. Tyres are less than 1000 miles old - Falken ZE912s 225/40 R18 92W XL. Picasa Web Albums - Paul Stanley -...

for my Black 159 Lusso? It's so hard to visualize new wheels on a car! OPinions please.

Got my Alfa red back after a week in the spray shop good as new:D The clear coat is supposed to be very impact resistant and they fitted the rear chip protecters. Took about four months to get the OK from Alfa but everything but the bumpers, roof and hatch have been sprayed.

While on holiday some little dip**** :mad:broke my o/s/f window and as a result has cracked the thing that connects the regulator to the window glass and makes the window go up and down. I've tried searching for a replacement but need to know what it is actually called? Its plastic and yellow...
