  • Value question 155

    Hello I should have a value estimate of you Alfisti. Here in the village someone sells his 155 DTM edition. He says it is one of 500 pieces and he has the DTM glued. The car has run a little over 150tkm. Condition is quite good, but he has a slight tail damage. I’ve already looked at it, is really nothing wild and easy to repair. But there it has to be repainted at the rear. Is there still to buy the glue again? Because it has to be new at the back. Greeting Thoma s

  • Alfa 156 2.5 V6 – does it get warm?

    Hello together Thanks to your support I bought an Alfa 156 2.5 V6 here for my mother. Really a great car, very nice and especially the chassis is the absolute banger! The car is just awesome on the road, makes you really happy. I drove a few KM with it today, because I was surprised that the water temperature does not come up at all. It looked like this after about 15 KM rides like this:http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=img_0116eb23.jpg Is that normal that the e Alfas don’t get warmer? Only with really long rides the temperature seems to come up, but that takes 30 and more km. My Audi stands there after 10km at 90Β° and stays there… Otherwise the car goes to the workshop if that is not normal… Merci & Gruess, sportec

  • 156 V6 2.5 Consumption too high?

    Good evening, I got a V6 last week. Top car no rust, TΓΌv new, only 116.000 km . I’m full of enthusiasm, only a small shortage there is the consumption. I’m aware that no saving mobile is, hadr before n E46 316i and he has already been quite drunk for the small engine. So now the Alfa in the city country roads mix so 13 liters is that much? I don’t heize, ride nice and cozy. It’s about an automatic the Q-Sytem must say I’m never ready for automatic The car was also standing for about half a year. With kind regards

  • I want to freshen up my Alfa 156 2.5 V6 24V and have one or the other question πŸ˜‰

    Hello, vehicle: Alfa 156 2.5 V6 24V Built 98, 190ps Now that the weather is getting better and I have to get to my Alfa because the Lmm is in the bucket and I have to change it, I thought I can do him something good and buy him new spark plugs and oil My questions are: – Must it necessarily be the NGK Laser Platinum 3500 spark plugs that are also installed by Alfa or are there also good products from other manufacturers that can be used well? Ebay seen, Champion EON 1 which are considerably cheaper and are also offered for my vehicle. Is there any good and bad spark plugs at all or are spark plugs just spark plugs where everyone does their work equally well? -Because of the oil I am slightly unsure, in my manual there is what of 10W-40, 5W30 (synthetic) standard APISJ. On the Internet I have read the many 10W-60 of AGIP used and thus made good experiences. I looked around and to At least price the oil is good I have only thought about it because there is nothing from 10W-60 in my book, can I drive it without hesitation in my Alfa? -I think oil filter is oil filter and the main thing that is suitable for my vehicle, or should you also consider something? Thanks already for your answers M.f.g. Rouven

  • 156 2.4 JTD, a few questions

    Ciao alfisti I am looking for a “new” one after which my BMW was driven two weeks ago on the highway too clumsy. Criterion is something with diesel, air conditioning and sliding roof between 600€ and 800€ with a half way low mileage. What does that mean? Yes a cheaper used Alfa falls into the search grid I especially click on a nice shot me! Now I have a few questions And I already made a little smart. That should e I have to drive at least the next 5 years to about 25,000 km p.a. so still… uh. 125tkm. That would be a total mileage of about 200’000 km Since I’m characterized only by evil prejudices, I would say that a 320d of BMW that can do absolutely without any problems if the loader is in order, regularly maintained, mainly long distance driving and never kicked cold etc. etc. Now, what do you say? Can an Alfa Romeo a uch ? Engine-technically, I am on the Internet on many cases of problems with the ZKD with running performance around the 100’000km. Is this only marginal or serious to take ? or can one expect it like with the ZKD of 2.8 VR6er of VW ? How about the rest ? Can you tell me if a 2.4 jtd in some form is more susceptible at high mileage, or if there are next to the ZKD “solder break points ” ? suspension technically there are not so many critical things the terrible i n’s money can go, or ? Electrics ok, which is supposed to be terribly vulnerable Can you refute my advantages ? Would you buy it to always get where you want ? Grazie aflisti

  • Refurbish the engine properly?

    Hello, in 4 weeks my good piece comes back with a overhauled machine. The engine is a 2.0 JTS with 166 hp After some threads I had read here, the engine seems to be really sensitive. From my experience with the Alfa 33 1.4 i i know, nice warm up then you can give chain. My information until now: drive the engine 1500 Km ! What else is included ? How do I drive a motor at all properly apart from warm up ? Do I drive 1000 Km n up to 3000 u/min or should more happen there ? Is there a recipe for the type of engine ??

  • 159 “shakes” when accelerating

    Hello all, the following problem I have had since about 1 week: my Alfa 159 1.9 JTDm Built. 2007 (175000 kilometers) “shakes” extremely when accelerating between 70-120 kmh. This occurs only when accelerating and only between 70-120 kmh after that it is gone. Maybe you can help me and tell me your conjectures what it could be. Thank you in advance greeting

  • New Alfa Romeo Giulietta or other car?

    Hey, I want to buy a new car and I have a problem: I like the Alfa Giulietta damn well (optically). I’ve never sat in it but I’ve seen it a few times from inside and outside. Now I would buy the smooth as 1.8L gasoline (the 241 HP version) but you can hear rather little good about Alfa Romeo. Many say that this has improved dramatically in the last few years. Anyway, I’m not sure. As alternatives to the choice: Opel Astra OPC, Golf 7 R, Ford Focus ST and Seat Leon Cupra. From the optical inside as well as outside it would become the Alfa with me. How is the processing compared to the others mentioned? Does the Alfa make more ticks? And how long-lasting is it compared? Performance-wise, it is the weakest but the 241 PS enough for me. So, please not cite the performance as an argument.

  • Alfa 159 different series?

    Hello together, drive a Vectra (very satisfied), but carry me with the thought about short or long to a 159 SW 1.9 or 2.4 diesel in ti-equipment. Unfortunately the space conditions are not as in my thickness, but optically a banger. Especially in ti-version with a little snap. My question: How are the different series different? Have a car of the series 1 taken into consideration. From which year of construction are the children’s diseases done? Ok, at Alfa this is probably never completely done, but that’s just like this πŸ™‚ Are there typical weaknesses? From when are there q-tronic and is it better than selespeed? Questions about questions, but maybe one can help me. Thanks and greeting Ralf
