Hi! I’ve got a very cheap offer for a 156 with the 2.5 liter v6 engine. unfortunately, I haven’t been able to bring anything into my experience regarding the reliability of this engine. I’ve only heard about the 2 liter twin park so far. and that was absolutely terrifying. you only have to look in mobile. there is a lot of replacement engine with it (e.g. 50,000 km, since 20,000 km replacement engine) is the v6 more reliable? who can tell me what the engine costs? how does it work and how does it sound? ? now have a corrado 16v, which has almost 200,000 km down. first engine, first transmission, first coupling. never stopped. almost only fully gas driven and hardly warm driven. reliability is always very important to me. Please answer me, since I have to decide…

For some time now in my colleagues a topic of conversation: breakdown statistics. There were some emotional word meldunegn, but finally we were able to bring some facts into the topic clarity. Official breakdown statistics of national as well as private car clubs and breakdown helpers show a very (!) distorted picture. Depending on the country, the customer is served the emergency numbers of the plant or the country representative or sold as part of the “new car carefree package”. according to the warranty, depending on the manufacturer, for example, if the service is done at a contract workshop. Depending on the manufacturer, the national breakdown service or the brand breakdown service is offered (I personally enjoyed it with my year-old 320i at that time). Thus, especially from the Nobel manufacturers, comparatively few vehicles are found in the statistics. That these vehicles are nevertheless in the statistics is sometimes simply because the factory breakdown services At certain times do not move out (depending on the manufacturer certain night hours, holidays part of the weekend, far away area etc.) and simply switch to the national service or send it on order. It is particularly embarrassing that certain publications do not point out this point or only point out it quite on the margin. That is understandable, because the works do not come out with their numbers of course. Journalistically, however, this is questionable, because the statistics show in no way in any way In England, car owners were directly interviewed by a car magazine, taking into account objective (pans, defects) aspects such as subjective (perceived quality, driving fun) aspects. The picture shows, for example, the VW Sharan in the last place, the V-Class of DC is also to be found at the back, while Alfa does not beat very well, but nevertheless heedable in the midfield. Conclusion: Does not believe the breakdown statistics in any way, the real world looks at from this. Nicolas

Since then honest and agree with me. Which car does the “hottest” optics have on the German market??? ALFA Which car does the emotions rise?? ALFA Which car does the day like at night like a model??An ALFA But which car gets a visual 1 and technical or reliability Technically seen 5-6??? ALFA The Alfa ́s have been running out of time! And are in the breakdown statistics a candidate for a hit! NOW I would like to know about you was um have you bought an ALFA except the optics and the sound???? (please not: because not everyone drives it)!!!

Had an experience on the track today with a sports-looking Alfa sportswagon(heating the so?).On the driveway, it was easy for me to drive away.I think it was because I drove 50 in the third, although I had fully accelerated but just too late the thrust started.I already saw at the beginning that the one from its 2 series tailpipes strongly pulled, and thought that this could be only a slow diesel.Well,sometimes when the track got free I had to push through to stay on it(d Then consider for a while that would be one of these evil Alfa V6), and when finally the expected moment came when he (when we were fully accelerated) pulled over to the right and still remained on the gas, I approached him very slowly, and could only slowly pass by at about 225 (well, the lead was not so enormous, but I was faster).Also a young pound inside, and did not want to pull the shorter one and still drove after me constantly. r the driveway abog(Puuh…..) you mean, was it the diesel???? I’m going out of their way from now on….

Hi people To my astonishment a week ago at my Alfa 147 I had to notice a funny clacking in the stand with running engine that always disappears when I step on the clutch….after visiting several workshops, nobody could tell me what that could be. So came to the workshop where I had bought the Alfa with clear that they had to disassemble half the car first to see what that could be… After the findings of the gearbox it was clear… A n the gear from the return gear which broke a jagged and had spread out in the gearbox….the mechanic from the factory saddle meant that he had never had that and that should not exist because even if you drove the return gear in without the clutch being pressed, the gear is not kaput…. All in all it becomes expensive… New gear, not available in Germany or Italy, mine now comes directly from the Alfa plant and costs 1800 euros… d fortunately get half paid… That was my little story 🙂

Hello dear people, my 20 years young car – a 200 D-124, 16 years in my possession left with Alfa and bought me an Alfa 156 selespeed. Everything best- great price/performance ratio- but: after about 300 km came the first warnings from the outside of operation- please start workshop or like off started again everything ok, but again after a couple of km the same warning- this time something with VCI o.ä.- which in a week 7x. now the car is in the workshop and is tested . My request to you: I have useful information, do you know this problem or is this possibly unique. I am grateful for every hint. Gr.

Hello, last week I tried an Alfa for the first time and am thrilled. Despite all the criticism of my environment it must now be a 147er. I have the choice: 147-black-88kw-distinguishing-5 doorr-petrol-private, once EZ 09/03-20.000km-13,000Euro or EZ 12/01/45.000km-13.600Euro-but with leather/Navi-BMW dealers. I tend more to the first, since he is only 15 months old (even without leather/Navi, but EZ09/03), because I suspect that the 2003 variant is more mature than the 2001 version. Can you give me tips? Should I wait (because of new facelift)? Thanks and greeting, Skyn

Hello, I have to rely on your wealth of experience and ask you for advice! I’m trying to sell my Audi80 BJ.89 at the moment! I’m confident that I’ll get 1000EUR +/- 100EUR. The Alfa 145 is my absolute favourite when it comes to new purchases. However, since I can put max 400EUR on the Audi’s retail price, the following offer seemed very interesting to me: Alfa Romeo 145 1.4 Category: Small car EUR 1,250 Data: 200.000 km, 66 kW (90 hp), E Z: 11/94, TÜV: 11/04, AU: 11/04, grau-metallic, 2/3 doors, petrol, special features: ABS, central locking, sliding roof Description: Get in and leave only Tüv u. Au price approx.200 to 250 Euro additionally! Such a high mileage of course always carries a certain risk (the Audi also has 190000 down, with long overdue timing belt change etc.. that to risk), but how high are the chances that I will not have a succulent engine damage after a short time od What should I pay special attention to during the visit? Thank you in advance!! So the Mobile.de can not be linked now I also noticed… search at Mobile:alfa 145 in D-33758 Castle-Holte

Hello, am I thinking if I should switch from the Golf 4 1.8T to the Alfa 147. Visually I find the Alfa really great. However, I’m Fiat damaged and have no real confidence in the technology. Are there any years of construction or engines to avoid? For me the 105 and the 120 HP are possible. Are there big differences in driving performance and consumption? Anything else I should pay attention to? many thanks in advance

Hello Alfisti ! I have to get rid of something here ! Alfa is inconceivably a lumpy side window to get ! My car has been cracked on Wednesday 19.01.05 . Ok , can happen . We to Carglas still at the Mittw. – window ordered at Alfa since not about accessories to get. Should be delivered yesterday ( 1 week later !!!) Now I drive a 155 2.0 TS 16V Super Bauj. `95. Until now I really thought that this is a quite normal car ! The windows are weak ! blue tinted. And just such a blue triangle disc for the rear right door has ordered the nice man from Carglas. Delivered – three times you may guess – a green !!! When the good man bad phoned with Alfa, he got lapidar in response, there are no blue discs anymore. This would have to be made first. And that takes several weeks !!! ( and so in the 21st century — I do not drive a moon car !!!) So one has purposely, knowingly a false sh Eibe sent , instead of informing the customer ! That’s what I call service !!!!! After half an hour phone – there should probably be another (!) disk in the main warehouse of Carglas in Brussels ; in blue . Delivery tomorrow – so it works . When I last practiced criticism at that workshop in Berlin has cleaned me here in the forum an Alfista with an OHV-No . He knows this workshop and he has worked there also once and that is not so bad there . May that Alfista himself Now feel kicked on your feet! Sponge about it! This story on my path of suffering with the Alfa brand proves however, that I am right! As I said; I just wanted to get rid of this. Maybe I also write this to the car picture. Greeting! Big Daddy 59
