  • No Tüv and that with a five-year-old car!

    Hello, my Bella recently had to go to Tüv. With the result: No Tüv. Significant defects on the rear axle (all lateral handlebars wrack) and an unevenly acting braking system at the rear. Car is a 147 1.6Ts year 01. Cost point only the transverse handlebars new approx. 600€. We leave the brakes outside. Has one already had similar experiences? Are 600€ too much for the transverse handlebars? Track adjustment is included. MfG

  • Alfa 147 should be quick what’s enough? 120 ps or 150 ps?

Greetings

  • Alfa 147 expensive scrap !!

    Hi. I’ve been driving Alfa 147 1,9 JTD 16 V since last year I’ve been totally excited about the car, a lot of performance and cool look and so on. Now I’ve been driving the car for almost one and half years. I’m telling you NEVER come into my house like that. That started at 18000 Km. First the turbo hose was torn. Ok, it can happen. So by now I had all this on the car: Turbo hose torn. The passenger door cannot be opened from outside every three months. The best one was so far torn by oil pressure hose. My whole yard still looks like ………. had to be towed. He squeaky on the rear axle like a dying sow. Now the clutch and the back bearing had to be new at 40,000 KM. I have two months of airbag errors, and he squeaks even louder And now the turbo hose is gone again, I’ve got it. h just heard whistle again neatly. And the guarantee has been puffy for four days. Cool or? So what do you say? Have you also had similar experiences? I would never buy a Alfa again. I’m curious about your opinions.

Please see picture (3.) http://img221.echo.cx/img221/8302/39jc.jpg , this review makes ADAC free of charge.-) someone has a clue what this is :-)) and what else: how much fuel is consumed for 100 km? Please excuse my “High German” and “many questions.”))

  • Buy Alfa 145 used???

    Hi! Well, I’m looking for a used car and have come to the thought to buy with an Alfa 145 or 146, price up to max. 3000€, so the best so 2,500€… There are already smart models with >100,000 km and so on…Whether 1.4 or 1.6 engine would not really matter to me. Well my question, alternative would probably be a Civic, but somehow the Alfa entices me. Therefore, I would like to find out what the Alfa can do for problems. 99% of my Be knew about an Alfa, but I’m not going to let myself go… So I’m looking forward to your opinions/experiences… Thx & Greetz aCiD

  • 155 1.7 DTM, BJ 93, 150Tkm, buy or not?

    Hi, it’s me again. I’m about to buy a 93′ Alfa 155. I don’t want to be annoying, but what should I keep in mind with the car? Alfa 155 1.7 DTM Have asked the dealer the following questions: If the car has scratches or bumps, it is maintained from the condition, oil changes, service and timing belt intervals have been adhered to (if there is a check book?), make engine or transmission noise, are chassis and axles in order, is rust present, are otherwise defects beka nnt? If I get (positive) answer and can look at the car reasonably I will probably take it. Did the first 155ers have any other bugs (they are fully galvanized or?). Did I read in a test report that the first generations had too soft camshafts, right? MfG comborado
