Hey dear motor talk community. I just registered here because I don’t know any more. I’m the owner of an Alfa Romeo 159 1.9JTDM Bj. 2005. I got the car as a gift because my uncle got a new purchase. I love the car and would like to drive it as the first car and thus deny the unforgettable experiences of a novice driver. However, there is a gigantic problem that makes me cook with anger and aggressions: What’s wrong with the insurances? The Alfa with 136hp would cost me around 230€ a year ONLY in insurance. (Partial casque, 150€ SBT, Street parking, Berlin) How to explain this absolutely naughty audacity, can someone tell me that? Why does a heck-driven Corvette 6.2l Z06 cost me with ~650 hp as an absolutely bloody novice in the maintenance 600€ less than a “mickriger” 1.9l 136PS diesel? I’d be happy if someone could give me an answer if it doesn’t give me a hard reason to buy me a couple of reasons because I’ll know a box of gasoline and maybe I’ll need to buy a little more!

I have an Alfa 156 jts Sportwagon bj.: 2003 and want/must have my timing belt done together with the due inspection. I have an offer of a free workshop for it. 110€, is that ok? A work colleague has an Alfa156 1.8 Twin park, he paid only half for the same work. The man from the workshop said that the prices for the models were strong. But so strong? What do you think??? Did you pay as much??? Thank you for your answers. Greetings Michael

The following doesn’t work: Electric window lifter + central locking / radio + blower + flasher + tank display + and probably a lot more, which I can’t just check everything. I just bought a car ( Alfa 156 – EZ 2000 . 1.8 liters – 106 KW) and is not standing with me because of other problem. There should be a control unit for these things (and possibly other failures) that should be on the rear wall in the trunk under the panel. Who knows about it – about costs / other problems etc. I am grateful for every tip, because I am dependent on cheap (selbermachen) – possibility because of lack of money.

Meal people, I have now bought two fog lights apertures and keep the fog lights from my Alfa 156, as they should be the same. Then I had upgraded myself from the scrap yard from an Alfa 159 straight away with my switch control unit. Now I have installed everything in my Alfa and already pulled cables to the safety box in the driving room to the left of the steering wheel. But since the plug from the control unit has the same number of cables as the one from the Alfa with fog I think all the other is also prepared. Can one tell me if and where for the fog in the engine room or the safety box connections for the fog lights could be. In the Fiat eper it looks as if the cable connection from the fog goes into the main headlights. But can one connect these anywhere or there are connections in the distribution boxes in the engine room!?

As described here, I’m looking for a combo for myself, and I’ve got a little bit of a look at the Alfa-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-Mobil-MoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMom-Mom-MoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMoMo

Moin, unfortunately I have the problem with my Julchen year 2017 that on the front the clear varnish bursts off. After the first laundry the paint is now down to the plastic. Now I was at the dealer and they said that they have to report the Alfa Romeo in order to be able to reimburse it for the warranty. Can such a thing be that a 1 year old car has such defects? My previous vehicles (Skoda Octavia II, Audi A4 B7) were already much older when I bought and I never had such prob leme… I already read in other threads that the paint quality at Alfa is rather below average. Best regards bassnubi

Good day, I am interested in a Giulietta as a diesel, either with 140 hp or 170 hp. Did this hear the differences are rather small in terms of performance, is that true? What can one say about the running culture and volume at each time? Drive currently a 147 JTD 16V with 140 hp, can one compare the driving performance? Greeting Christian

Servus Yesterday I found “the 159 SW, which I was looking for. Many things already done, with documents. Control chain renewed in 2017. Alternator renewed in 2017. Complete braking system renewed in 2017. I also read very much on the forum, what you have to pay attention to when buying. It has helped a lot in the search. Especially with regard to the control chain, at dealers it is nice to wave off appeased. Thus also to all, who participate actively in a forum, a warm thank you ön. And in particular the subforum ‘Alfa Romeo 159′ pictures come later

Hello, I’m currently looking for a new car and have a little bit of a look at the MiTo. Now the question arises, which PS number, diesel – petroler? During the week I mostly drive short distances, but at the weekend I commute around 600km. I think because of the relatively many short distances within the week a petroler would make more sense? And then: Do you notice the difference between 135 and 155 hp significantly with the petrolers? nk for help in advance!

Hi guys. I’m new here. I signed up to talk about my beloved Mito with other Alfa fans who might be able to understand how I’m doing. I’m pretty down right now. I caused an accident by missing a vehicle and taking the lead. (50-zone, if he actually had only 50 on it, well noticed shortly after a sharp curve and then still slowed down his claim, be left there. I’m aware of my fault. He was on a main road, I guess it doesn’t matter how fast he was on the road, I should have looked better.) He crashed into my left side. His is total damage, I guess, too. That’s the question now. I have to decide now whether I can put up the, undisputed high repair costs or just carry on my cut.. Since I know ned with the repairs and co, I have to listen to acquaintances/relatives who advise for sale. But that’s my Mito!! Too bad n: the left side around the front wheel is demolished. The rear fender and the front bumper are slightly damaged, the door and the front fender have got the most off. The left front wheel is gone, probably with the axle. The engine and everything else under the bonnet must be intact, the car starts and you could probably drive with it without any problems if the left wheel is not in the A… what cost would that be about? What has to be done? I want a R first at before I get an estimate because time is pressing, I have to decide quickly because I am instructed to a car. Greetings, quite sad Eleina
