arwmarshall
I've blown the head gasket on my 156 2.5 V6. this is heart-breaking in
more than the usual number of ways. I put a new clutch in it only 5
months ago. the car has a full dealer history, and off course, I love
it.
Unfortunately pressures at work have meant that I have not been at home
much over the...

Tuning boxer twin Weber 40 IDFs myself - Easy? Possible? Unwise? by
Regan
With my coolant problems out of the way (thankyou everybody for your
advice) and my new flexible brake lines ordered the only thing left to
do for the contrôle technique (french MOT) is the emission levels
which were at 7.6% CO (pass is at 3.5%).
I've just adjusted the timing (was a degree or two...

156 - Variator by
savamac
OK - the dreaded "diesel rattle at startup" is back.
Question - can the variator be replaced without doing cambelt etc. at

aircon problem by
Steve Byatt
Just had a hose replaced on airconditioner (don't ask me what kind of hose
or where it went) on a 156 GTA (78000 miles). I'm now getting cold air
again, but I hear a clicking-- like a pump starting or a relay
struggling -- somewhere under the bonnet, low down o/s and every time it
makes the noise...

156 - Water Pump by
savamac
My 156 (1998 2.0 SP2, 64k miles) is coming up for service and MOT.
There are a number of items that may need attention, so I'm looking for
advice and guidance from the group (this may involve a number of posts,
so please bear with me).
I've noticed a number of posts where people mention that...

2002 147 selespeed revving by
dt Kruger
My 147 seems to rev quite a bit between 1,2,3 gears.
Only seems to do it when very cold in the mornings.
Now when I say cold I mean South African winter, like never colder than
0 deg celcius outside.
Doesn't matter if I've got it on city or if I click it manually.
Anyone else have this?

156 - Stalls soon after starting by
Steve
Hi
I just wondered if someone could shed any light onna problem which my 156
has started to show.
Soon after starting, the idle becomes very erratic, jumping up and down +500
revs. Frequently, the revs drop to zero, the stall lights briefly show,
before the engine wakes up and sorts itself out....

Hi,
I have a 2003, 03 plate 147 2.0 manual. Its coming up to its 3rd
anniversary next month which means time for the annual service. Its done
a little over 15k miles.

mileage? Also should the service be a 36k service or...

156 hesitant start/low rev stalls by
Barry Bingham
Anyone recognise this (on a 2.0TS, 2000 vintage):
Recently the car has occasionally started and "died" at first attempt. It
has required a second turn of the key to get going and stay running. This
symptom is occasional but becoming more frequent. Once running it goes as
well as ever.
A few days...

selespeed problems by
dogtown
Hi folks,
I've got a beautiful 156 selespeed 2000 vintage but...I can't get into 4th
gear. Problem I've got is if I change up it goes 1,2,3 then misses 4 and
into 5. If I try and change down from 5 it loses the plot and revs a bit and
then stays in 5. But if I doubleclick the button or the stick...

turn signal indicator switch problem on 156 by
mike
I have an intermittent problem with the turn signal indicator switch on my
156 2.0l TS. When it happens, neither direction indicator will work. tapping
the stalk upwards or downwards causes the odd 'blink' but it won't stay on
even though the stalk locks in position. Seems like a bad connection...
