  • purchase advice 156 2,5 v6

    hello alfa friends unfortunately the sufu did not bring me enough information therefore I open a new topic! I decided to buy a 156 2.5 v6! the purchase decision is first and foremost the wonder beautiful design and the fascinating v6 engine! now are however still a few questions open, the while: is the 156 v6 really as susceptible as many say? how high is the realistic consumption of sporty driving excellent country road? is this aut o from the spare parts and maintenance (if you can do a lot of yourself and my friend mech. is at alfa) affordable for a otto-normal earner? what do you have to pay special attention to when buying this model from which run performance would you leave the fingers off? calculate so with 600€, you get for this money already well maintained exemplare (prices refer to Austria)? what I still want to say: I buy this alfa not so that I get cheap from a to b for there s I have my mazda, it serves rather as a second car for beautiful Sunday exits! I am also aware that so many an alfa needs a lot of love and inclination, so for me a car is not only some object! I have no two left hands and already guess of cars! would look forward to numerous tips of 156 drivers! mfg harry

  • Performance dispersion in the Alfa 156 1.8TS

    Hello, I recently bought an Alfa 156 1.8TS… already before I bought the test drive, I noticed that the car is unusually fast and powerful for a vehicle with 1.8 liters of engine capacity… Well, it’s not a small machine but I didn’t expect this brachial force… So I drove out the car on the highway and the speedo needle went well over the 240 km/h… At first I thought the speedo was broken, but then I took a nav. .. Top speed on the Navi was 237km/h on straight road… After that I had the car tested on a test bench… Result: 144KW so almost 200hp… That’s why I have a few questions for you: Is there anyone else whose 1.8 is so different from its performance??? Or can it be that there is a fault in the factory data and the car does not have 144 HP but 144 KW??? It is not impossible to get 200 HP out of a 1.8L engine… think of the Ho nda S2000, the 240 hp delivers at 2 liters of engine capacity or various other overturned high-tech cars from the Far East… Would be grateful for your advice…

  • GT 3.2 V6 with 160tkm

    Hello people, apart from the suspension problem, timing belts and oil and so I have another question. I heard, the V6 easily manages 300tkm and more if the driver treats it properly. I have now discovered one with, one without LPG conversion. Are the gas resistant? Or should I rather take the without gas? both run around 160tkm. Otherwise, timing belts, crossbars and entire front axle testing is so the most important thing in the mileage or? Or is there something that in the km performance must be made before like e.g. bearing shells with the e36 M3

  • Alfa 147 Purchase price

    Hello together, I am thinking of buying an Alfa 147 1.6 TS 105 eco from the dealer. The car is rust-free, had the last service at 50,000km. The dealer would change the timing belt, as well as remove new TÜV and a small rust spot at the wheelhouse by Smart Repair and the circuit is somewhat cumbersome, is also done. Purchase price from the dealer 7500 we agreed on 7000 Euro if I now agree. Test drive had already been and I was with it also at the Fiat/A Ifa dealer who also told me that the car is all right. And here I trust the car master already. He was just not sure about the price.

  • Cleaning Idling Controller –> How?

    Moin first of all, since my 2l 16V has recently also gone out for the first time when kicking the clutch, I probably have to tackle the junk with the hoses, hollow screw and idle controller cleaning soon. I already got a idle controller in reserve for safety. Looks quite new, but that has nothing to say. Supposedly only been installed for a short time, well ́mal look. I wanted to clean the reserve controller now, but am not as sure as you can The one with the plug for the E-connection, and the other with the two holes on which the seal comes. My question is now, you can simply separate the two parts for cleaning, or it disintegrates into a thousand parts. I once had this with a door lock cylinder, I cursed. Pulled out without a key in it. That’s why I better ask before, hi hi. Or s What do I have to bear in mind? Is there still a seal between the components? Are they additionally glued together? Can the part with the holes be placed in an ultrasonic bath without dismantling the part with the e-connection? Of course only in such a way that the e-part is not wetted, is already clear. Thank you for tips and tricks. Greetings Omimatze

  • Wash roads!!!……grrrrrrr

    Hello, I thought yesterday that I would do something good for my little Ommi and drive him through the wash road (don’t drive through it… for 10 years). When I come home, the decorative strip in the back left side of the bike track is pushed backwards. I called them immediately and should show the car. It didn’t come without anything, only time and useless 30km and an Ommi, which was dirty again, because with us the farmers are currently in the field and the roads look like that. . The Lord of CleanCar had meant that the trim was already not properly fixed, because otherwise it would not have happened and therefore he does not see one for the damage to be done. what should one do there??? On the right side the lineist is also not firmly attached to the coach, but stands on the wheel run also about 3mm. There must then be these stupid dry cloths behind hooked… Well…now I have the damage and will not be through this road anymore. BUT…where can I get a finish line like this again??? At the FOH it will cost a lot of money. Vllt. has someone a tip for me…at motoso there is unfortunately no…at the moment. It is the finish line at the rear left, which is fixed over the bumper to the wheel. Tanja

  • Omi with gas system

    A friendly “hello” to all Omi drivers I have a question: I wanted my Omi 2.5l 170Ps Bauj.97 to be converted to car gas. It is liquefied gas and no natural gas. I ended up for liquefied gas, as the tank (66l) fits into the reseveradmulde and does not take any space away. Does anyone have experience with it and can tell me how high the gas consumption is with it? Does the engine run just as well as with petrol?

  • Function electric seat height adjustment

    Hello Leutze. Since I haven’t been in the forum for a few days, (because shoulder hurts hurts is bothering me and doesn’t let sleep), there’s a question about a problem in my omi. Problem is this: The actuator for the seat height adjustment tries to work when you press on the switch, but doesn’t do it, unless it clacks. No matter if up or down. I thought that the flanged gearbox has an internal damage. I don’t know if any There is a foreign body inside or if something is broken off. Seeing in is not because the shitty thing is riveted. Who knows advice? Who knows the error? How can I help? Do I need a new actuator with gearbox (although the engine is funtioned) now? I am grateful for any suggestion or solution that removes the error. Have a normal seat with leather, seat heating and side airbag. The only thing that can be adjusted is the seat height adjustment. Blem around the driver’s seat. Still have fun screwing at your omi. Greetings Marco. PS.:Another question:How do you get your pictures into the forum???Opel OMEGA Caravan is the noble truck among the Kombi’s. ! !

  • 25cm subwoofer exchanged for 30cm, kickbass almost completely away.

    Hi guys, the title probably reveals what it’s about. Since my 25cm sub has been smoked and I’ve been driving around with empty but still day-long smelling suitcaseaum, I have now come to a slightly bigger 30cm sub, it’s from audio system, I don’t know exactly what it’s called. Anyway, there’s a world-wide difference between the old 25s and the current 30s, it’s almost no kickbass anymore, but the lower passes are much stronger I actually hear cross-bed from hip hop over jazz, R&B sometimes techno or classic… I don’t want to go back to the 25cm sub but some kickbass would be nice. 2 subwoofers next to each other probably does not come into question since I still need space in the trunk aum, My front system in the limousine consists of a compo system in the front (Eton Pow 172.2) a few 13er (JBL Gx 502) in the rear doors and a few 16er (JBL Gx 602) in the hutab position, the speakers seats are all original I had only replaced the old LS with new, slightly higher quality ones. How do I get to my kickbass? I’ve already asked myself a little bit and heard a lot of 16 kick basses, so should I theoretically banish the Gx602 from the hat rack and install the right woofer? Only does that work? the fronsystem is locked off with an HPF at 80hz that is enough for the kickers? The speakers can be set individually with me l or what would you suggest? I hope you can help me

  • 1-Din Radio purchase advice

    Hey friends, I’m new here in the forum and need now a consultation for a car radio. I am now proud owner of a CL203 , but now still need hardware for proper sound control. The car radio should meet the following criteria: – 1-Din(the rest is too frills to me) – easy operation – discreet design – good sound – Bluetooth connectivity for my iPhone (best with Siri eyes free) – the usual connections: Aux, Usb, etc. Have also been a little smart g emacht. I like those from Sony best.This e.g. now I ask you: Are there even better alternatives? My budget moves around the 100€. Furthermore I would like to know which adapters I need for installation. Thanks already in advance
