Cloverleaf Club by
Graeme Cosgrove
Just got the magazines through the post...interesting comments about
moving the "brand" upmarket and the impact this is having on the dealer
network. Top 5 in the JD Power survey is a tall order, as is the target
to sell 20,000 cars a year in the UK.
GT and Brera are the best looking things on...

156 engine by
R D S
A couple of questions regarding 156 engines, mines a 2002 2.0TS
Is the head on a 1.8 the same as a 2.0?
And can a petrol lump be replaced with a diesel? Or would there be too much
other stuff to change?
Cheers,
Rick

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

Alfa Spider central locking problems by
[email protected]
Anyone faced this problem before?
The key-plip part of the central locking on my Spider has long since
died, but I am still able to unlock and lock the old-fashioned way -
by putting the key in the lock. However since Monday it has not
worked any more.
When it gets REALLY cold the lock doesn't...

Follow-up to my 156 emissions fail.... by
SteveH
The cat. has been replaced and the emissions are actually fine now.
However, it's still failing the MOT because, when holding at 'fast idle'
the ECU is dropping the revs from 2700 to 2200 rpm on a constant
throttle - it does this for a couple of seconds then recovers back to
2700rpm.
However,...

DJ[_2_]
Hi all,
You may know from a recent post I am looking for a 156 Sportwagon and I have
been offered one by a dealer. The thing is its had its Speedo replaced. So
even though it has apparently done 20,000 miles it is barely showing any
miles at all. Its a 2005 model.
Apparently the speedo was...

Changing the head on a 156 by
R D S
2.0TS
Is changing the head beyond the scope of the home mechanic?
It is a long time since I got my hands that dirty under the bonnet but in
the past I have changed gaskets on Cav's, Astra's and a Hyundai S-Coupe.
I have told the mechanic to give it me back, he found me a 'new' head after
giving...

It Passed! by
SteveH
Got the 156 back this evening. The bill will be presented to us on
Thursday - all we know is that it needed a new cat. and the fuse pulling
from the aircon to get a stable fast idle.
Had it serviced at the same time.
I reckon all-in, about 200 quid. incl. the new cat.

JTD cambelt by
cupra
Is the general consenus to stick with the 36k interval for JTDs?
AIUI they're not as problematic as TSs (from previous discussions here) but
do I err on the safe side (next service will be 108k).....
