  • Golden oil for inspection

    The day of the 20 tkm inspection had come my 147 JDT came to the dealer of my trust (so I thought). So I picked up my car, waved the lady at the reception with the bill, spontaneously I put 200€ on the table. She pointed with her finger to the sum 415 € !, for a little oil(gold probably), Shrubs and filter. I was flat! Did you pay also such sums ? Greetings

  • Is my 147s dying??

    Hello. After I whittled through all threes, now nevertheless my question: Facts: 147er Alpha, Bj 2002, 108Tkm error in the engine monitoring system flashed first, then 5min later continuous light. Up on no power in the lower speed range (3000), restless idle hardly revolutions, next day workshop: spark plugs replaced, cylinders would not get enough compression, it would be glued (oil change too rare), solvent in and 24 pcs. let work, no change. there are 3 possibilities: -Build the engine apart and clean it up,-continue in the hope that the problem will be solved by itself (Sprit consumption??),–he’s stuck and then I need a new engine anyway. Question: isn’t there another fourth possibility?? Can’t it be something else, even if the Mech has the \

  • Alfa 147 facelift – beautiful or not?

    Hello @ all, I am in the mom at the driver’s license and want to get myself first a 147 1.6TS. I have 2 offers in the eye. One is the Vorfacelift model in black with 120hp, 2 years old, 32 000 km. The other the new Facelift model with “only” 105hp, also in black, a year old, 10 000km. The equipment is largely the same.How would you decide? Performance or exterior? I mean the older model is also pretty, no question. Should even people give d he likes it better than the new facelift – how do you think it is?

  • Alfa 147 bought and a few questions about repairs and spare parts

    Good evening! I have been the owner of an Alfa 147 (2.0/150 hp/year 05 with 98.000 KM) for a few days and have bought a few upcoming repairs. It squeaks and crunches very badly in the area of the front suspension. In addition a dull metallic noise with uneven roadway and curb drive. Through the many other contributions here I suspect “upper crossbars and coupling rods”. That is called the most. To this my first question: How do the “lower ones” do themselves? Lenker” so that I could possibly exclude them? And is there something against buying NoName crossbars like e.g. here from Ebay?http://www.ebay.de/itm/190670838770?… With the oil I am also unwise. Here I thought of a fully synthetic 5W-40 oil. http://www.ebay.de/…/390236140968?… Does the Alfa 147 get along with it? Currently there is a Castrol 5w/30 in it. My last concern would be the spark plugs. When I saw the prices for NGK platinum candles, I have to get started with a Castrol 5w/30. My last concern would be the spark plugs. 25 euros per piece needed at 8 are not little. Are there alternatives I could choose from here? Look forward to every help and opinion Timo

  • 156 2.4 20V beating noise while rolling away

    Good evening, with my 2.4 I have a speed dependent hit. That means if I let myself roll at 50 km/h and get slower it will beat slower. Under load it is gone. I have to say now that I had an accident at the front right and the car is driving again since yesterday. I also have the problem that comes at 120-140 km/h the emergency run and there is no power and but only comes at this speed. If I am below and even if I turn out the lower gears full no error comes. The error code is P1235 and there is: -turbo pressure signal -There is a bit of helpless and hope someone can help me further. If more information is needed please let me know. Greetings
