Emissions Fail.... argh! by SteveH
Well, I'm a more than a tad ****ed off with that. 9 month old catalyst has been diagnosed as being at fault when the 156 went for it's MOT - which I find a little odd. Can anyone interpret the results for me? (Oil temp. was 93 degrees) Fast Idle: RPM 2680 Pass

A Sad Day by Zathras
I had genuinely hoped to have been able to put off this day forever, but it wasn't to be. After 7 enjoyable and remarkably trouble free years of driving the Alfa, the 8th year and, in particular, the last six months have been a trial. It looked as though the trial would never end so the best car I...

Can Olive wait for the beep? by GT[_14_]
2002 156 2.0JTS + oil levels: We all know that Alfas use oil. When my oil starts to get low I can hear a difference in the engine noise and in the past I have always topped up the oil immediately. Only once in 8 years has the computer's oil low message beeped at me. I stopped within 200 yards...

Dunlop, Pirelli or Michelin? by Barry Bingham
Time for a new set of rubber on my 156 2.0L. All 4 tyres (205/60/R15 V) are hitting the wear marks. Up to now I've always used Michelin Pilot Primacy, these being the original equipment on my year 2000 car. But now I have the chance to try something else as the whole set need swapping. The...

Did Alfa ever build its own diesel engine? by Bret Ludwig
Obvious question that! Did Alfa build its own diesel for any truck, etc. when it was an independent company?

Difficulty selecting reverse by John
I sometimes (often) find it hard to get my '98 156 V6 into reverse. Am I going to be on the end of a big bill for a new gearbox soon ? Previous owner had reversing sensors (bleeps when you get too close) fitted - is there any way this could have screwed anything up ? thanks

Hi, Last week, for the 2nd time in a few months, my 156 didn't start at once. The start motor was running, the distribution belt was running, no error lights shown on display, but the engine didn't start. I waited a few hours and tried again, but still with no result. Then I decided to keep the...

Looking for reputable Afla garage nr Warrington by redTed
As long as it's not f***ing Caledonia, I'm open to any recommendations. Airbag warning light is on all the time and I can hear a ticking (valves?) on start-up. Caledonia already charged me an exorbitant amount of money to replace the variator and I've sworn never to return :)

Spooky break in by Yaddha
A couple of days ago, a filthy thief stole my nice JVC KD-LX10R autoradio out of my 156 2.0 (02/2000). Lucky enough, there was no scratch on the car, no holes underneath the door knob, no windows smashed, nothing at all. The thief even removed the radio so neatly, there were no marks on the...
