Asi've posted over the last week my wife's 159 1.9 JTD (56 Reg) has been experiece power loss. Apparently the dealership in Leicester infrom me that it is a sticky Flow Shutter Valve or Sticky EGR. Apparently a common problem (read tyhe posts) on early models. Asked the dealership if a campaign had been run by Alfa UK to rectify early cars, she said no and confirmed that my car has been donee.

They want £30 for a diagnostic (bit steep for a 2min job) and then reccommend i contact Alfa UK to ascertain if they would be willing to recity the problem.

I also have a warranty from the garage i bought the car from.

Should i get the the Alfa diagnotics done and hope Alfa UK pay or should i go the warranty route and get Nationwide Auto Centre to do the work

Any advise greatly receivedd!

Hi alfa999,
My 2.4 had the same problem and neither the EGR nor flow shutter valve replacement sorted it. There is a 3 hour 'service news' that the alfa dealer should run the car through to get it checked.

It was the EGR valve in the end. Replaced it and have had no problems since
