Hi, Having just purchased a late 1999 146Ti I'm now doing the maintenance rounds on the car. Can anyone advise if pollen filters were fitted to this car and if so where is it / how is it changed ? Also where is the fuel filter located ? Any help greatfully appreciated

Hi, I've just got myself a 3 year old 147 1.6 and would appreciate some help with a couple of questions I have. Firstly, when I first filled her up with fuel, the fuel warning lamp started to flash. The flashing stopped the day after but then started again the day after. its not flashed now for a...

I ve got a gas instalation put into my car (i didn't do it) and recently i am experiencing much truble with the car - first of all lambda probe isn't working (even i exchange it) but still the car uses much fuel 13-14 l of gas driving inside the city. Second when i open the fuel valve there is a...

Anyone have a copy of the 156 owner's manual they no longer need that they'd be prepared to donate / sell to me. Just got my new (well new to me anyway, 2001 Y) 156 and trying to learn all about it....not easy without a manual as you can guess. Thanks

Going through 1900-2100rpm, my transmission goes a ring-a-ting-ting. Any ideas? Neil (still loving it to bits)

Hi, In the past few months, I read from this ng a thread about this question I have, but I unfortunately lost the answer. Here it is: My 2000 156 2.5 engine cannot go beyond 5000 rpm (or so), no matter how hard I press the gas pedal, or no matter the gear I am in. Although I need this extra boost...

My Y reg 156 previously had a Sony deck in place that worked even without the ignition switched on. I've tried to fit a Kenwood mask deck, one of the ones with a motrised front panel that flicks over and back when the ignition is switched on and off accordingly. My problem is, because the supply to...

Hy there, I'm thinking about buying a Alfa Romeo GT 3.2l V6, but was wondering about the "real" consumption per 100 km. I`m especially interested in the xconsumption at high speed for example when going with an average speed of around 160 km/h. Thanks in advance Thomas

I have a set of 4 Alfa 146 Steel wheels for sale - they have pirelli p6000 tyres, each with at least 6mm of tread left. They have 4 x 98 studs, making them suitable for just about everything fiat, lancia and alfa, except cars with 5 stud wheels or the Alfa 33. Buyer collects - Offers around...

I have a radiator in good condition for an Alfa 33 1991 16v in my loft - originally it was from a P4 but you could collect it from my house in Southsea (Portsmouth) for the paltry sum of £10.00. Anyone interested? Please email me on the return address. Adam H

Is it just my car or where I live, or is the Alfa 156 aerial (I believe built into the rear screen) useless for long wave and medium wave radio reception? Also, if the aircon is running, it gets even worse. My crap old Renault, with the classic pointy metal stick on the roof never had a problem....

I pick up my 156 (2001 Y reg saloon) in a few days, but am a little intrigued as to the type of aerial fitted to the car. Is it just the Sportswagon that has the aerial as part of the back window, or is it the saloon as well. Is the reception any good, or is it worth adding a roof aerial, and if so...

Hi, I want to replace the air filter in my 166 3.0v6 auto with an uprated replacement panel filter. I do not want to fit an induction kit - just a replacement element. I'm having some trouble finding a listing for my car with the more popular manufacturers and I was wondering if I could fit a...
