156 JTS modding by
Gareth Tuckwell
OK, I bought my 156 2.0JTS about 18 months ago now. I recently subscribed to
this newsgroup and I noticed a few people's signatures mention mods they
obviously have applied to their cars. I don't anything about mods, but once
the car is out of the Alfa waranty, it is something I would like...

156 and LPG by
drut
Good Evening Alfa lovers
I have read recently a post about mid 90 Alfas and LPG installation - now I
can see this is possible and even works! My car (May 2002 AR 156 1.8 TS
140BHP) is equipped with Tartarini ETAGAS LPG installation - a very bad
combination (bad refers to Tartarini, not Alfa!). It...

Access denied! (Bloody bonnet release) by
Hughes.
Trying to get under the bonnet of my 156 to check the coolant level and oil I
had a handful of nothing when I pulled the bonnet release.
I had a look at the lever and when I pulled it I could hear a little click. I
undid the two allen bolts so I could get a better look, but nothing appears to
be...

PhilipS
Hi everyone,
Currently at the exciting pre-purchase phase, in the 147 to Gt coupe
upgrade!
Does anyone know of any pictures on the web of the GT with the
optional (in the UK at least) 17" 5 hole alloys.

ones in the brochure seem...

Alfa GT - Alfatex quality control problems? by
Grahame
Hi All,
I went to my local showroom to order a new GT in Sterling Gret metallic with
the Light Grey Alfatex and black/grey dash (UK colour code 127).
Turns out that although this option is in the brochures, Alfa are no longer
offering this colour combination as an option.
As an alternative, I...

Jack up 156 Suspension? by
Neil G
Is there a way to jack up my rear 156 suspension, e.g by air? Have
checked the manual but not documented so I guess not.
Have the sports variety and when a couple of certain members of my
family sit in the back, we're on the cusp of doing damage on every
sleeping policeman we meet.
I thought I...

My GT test drive thoughts by
PhilipS
Hi everyone,
Took a GT 2.0 JTS out for a test drive on Saturday, thought I'd share
my opinions with the group (for what they are worth!), I would welcome
other people's opinions, as I am very seriously thinking of buying.
My comparisons are to my current steed - 147 1.6 lusso.
Overall, I was...

Ralf Hocke
Hi there!
I need a little help with my car. the aircon is not working the way it should.
The problem is: Starting the engine with the aircon turned on, the pipe leading
away from the compressor gets cold quite fast but just for a few seconds. Then
there is a clicking sound (relais i guess) and...

156 Manuals in pdf format ? by
willie thompson
I've just bought a 156 SW M-jet, and I was wondering if anyone knew
where I could get a copy of the English manual in pdf format ? I already
have the paper copy, and I will scan it in if I have to, but naturally
I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.

Posting a 156 by
Pete
I thought that I would just share.
I can confirm that it is not a good idea to allow 'er to borrow your 156
and reverse it into a post :-(
The rear valance is well abraded, and the rear of the boot lid has a lovely
crease down it. The bodyshop estimate is £1840.00 to fix it.
Question:- if I...

Alfa 156 2.5 Vs 2.0 by
Mark
Hi all, Im after a bit of advice as to what 156 to buy. I have been
looking at a 156 2.5 v6 veloce but I read somewhere recently that said
the 2.5 isn't that much quicker than the 2.0 TS. I am after a quickish
car sub 8secs to 60, but don't want to fork out the extra on a v6 if
its not really worth...
