Alfa 156 2001 alarm deactivation in the UK? by
Bruce
Can anybody help?
Everything I have read suggests that you can't deactivate the alarm in the
UK because they don't give you the keys. But I am totally fed up with it.
Two keys have now broken (the bridge contact underneath the button). I
'fixed' one by removing the cover with a knife and using...

Strange sound by
KoStAhR
Hello,
I have a question about my 146 1.9 TD. When I push the accellerator I hear a
strange sound. It sounds like fluid that is being pushed trough a tube
that's too narrow (squirting sound). The sound is located near the pedals.
Anyone got a clue what this sound could be?
Regards,
Trienco Koster

33 4x4B by
Ex Alfa Adam
I'm off to look at a 1991 8v 1.7 33 that is a 4x4B - not a p4. It is an
import to the UK from it's original home of Austria.
Is there anywhere that I can get a specification of this car? I've owned
both 8v and 16v 33s before, nearly bought a p4 but have never heard of a
4x4B which I understand...

Not sure if this is a good thing or not.... by
Phil Sawyer
....but on Saturday night I called my usual taxi company to take me and the
current Mrs Sawyer home after an evening's liquid refreshment, and instead
of the usual Toyota Carina it was an Alfa 156 2.0TS!
The driver was shocked as I knew straight away how to open the rear doors

Bumpers AR 164 '92 by
Yoeri Gemeen
Where can I find other rear and front bumpers ?
NON-original prefered.
I find enough about the AR 156 & 147 but not for the
164.
Do I have to look for an other brand or type which holes
allmost match ? And customise them ? Or something alike ...

Vibration using 156 air-con by
Dave Sparrow
2002 156 Selespeed
Very noticeable vibration when the air-con is switched on. In fact quite
annoying when at a standstill as you feel it really obviously through the
seat (and the steering wheel). Vibration completely vanishes when switched
off.
Any ideas as to what's wrong?
Thanks,

Alfa 75/milano bad brakes by
squidge
I've had a 2 litre 75 Twin Spark since 1991 and the brakes have ALWAYS
been bad.
I've had them serviced numerous times over the years - new master
cylinder, new pads etc. Last time cost $2000 because "the master
cylinder was connected the wrong way round". This did improve them a
little, but there...

156 head light beam pattern by
Martyn
Dear all 156 owners,
I had a real shock this week, as I took my immaculate 2001 156
sportwagon in for its first mot test.
I have owned this car from new, and only covered 5700 miles, so no
wear and tear
almost as new.
The tester refused to pass my car as the front off side head lamp beam
pattern...
