Just had my SW Ti serviced. Today I noticed that when I was pulling up a hill in 3rd initially the turbo hit a flat spot with no boost. It happened in 5th once too. Haven't had that problem occur before. Once I took my foot off the accelerator and back on, it was fine and the turbo spooled up.

Any thoughts as to what might cause this? As I say it's only been a couple of times however enough to make me think about it. Car serviced by alfa dealer and no issues before.

Thanks!
Iain

Here's my experience of this : http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-159-brera-and-946-spider/340655-1750-tbi-problems.html#post4973387 - with the eventual cause and solution a few posts further down the page.

Cool. Thanks very much. Will speak to my dealer about it. Hopefully they can fix it.

Thanks,

Mine does this too. Apparently the SA dealers know nothing of this type of fault...
