Hello, as an Audi driver and fan I have been on unknown Alfa-Terrain since yesterday my girlfriend bought an Alfa 147 progression with 1.6 liter TwinSpark engine. The vehicle is EZ 4/03 and has a mileage of 69,000 km. The car is well maintained, 3 inspections have been carried out so far. 1. at 25.900 km (AlfaRomeo – dealer) 2. at 44.900 km (ATU) 3. one month ago at 67,000 km (ATU) Although the vehicle looks of course class, it will be r Elatively motionless used for the work path and should be above all reliable and poor at repairs. If now a few basic questions, which you might read for 1000 times but are nevertheless new for me and I would be grateful for any answer. – how robust are these 1.6 TS – engines? The car should run already a few years and also as many as possible (about 100,000 km). What is to be considered here in particular? In the cold state not to blow up is no problem, that we are vo m A3 1,9 TDi also not otherwise used…. – I have always used a partly synthetic 10W40 engine oil in all vehicles (currently ALPINE) and never had any problems. This can certainly also be used in this engine. Alternatively I have sometimes already used 5W40 oil. – The exhaust looks relatively taken away, is this normal? – for which expensive making is the vehicle still known, or what is generally to be considered so that one can take as long as possible F reude on 147 has I thank you again for the answers and consider – I am ignorant newcomer- Greeting
