Bye bye Alfa by
Scott McGregor
Hi Guys,
I have finally had enough of my 156 v6. It failed its MOT again (only 4
years old). At least it is consistent with failing the 3 year MOT.
My local Alfa dealer quoted me over £550 to fix the problem to get it
through the MOT. After telling them to get lost I took the car to a local...

Trip computer by
MB[_1_]
As new owner of 03 156 I am struggling to get info from the trip computer.
I thought the set button on the indicator stalk should activate this but I
cannot obtain any info on the display.
Can anyone provide input please?

Knowing when to sell a car by
R D S
Do some people have a knack of knowing when to sell a car.
Our 156 we have had under 3 months has just come out of the garage after
breaking down. It has had a new piston, various bearings and a camshaft. Do
they know or are they just lucky.
I wish you could X-ray a car before buying it.
Rick

autoradio Blaukpunt by
Carlo
L'autoradio Blaukpunt montato di serie sulle Alfa 147 dopo 20 minuti di
funzionamento a motore fermo si spegne automaticamente..... fastidiosissimo
quando sei fermo in macchina e vuoi un po' di musica.... qualcuno sa dirmi
se è possibile eliminare definitivamente questa funzione?

droopy rear suspension on 156 by
Humpty Dumpty
156 2L TS (2000W) SP3
One side at the rear is noticeably lower than the other - about 2cm
I've only had a brief look around under the wheel arch and can't see
anything obvious, but any suggestions of what could be the cause? Could it
just be a knackered damper, or would that not cause a reduction...

dt Kruger
So I book my 2002 147 selespeed in, and decided to have _everything_
fixed. The bill came to 19450 South African rands (thats about 1500 in
GBP). This included major service, new windshield wiper motor, selespeed
gearbox adjusments to name a couple of major players on the bottom line.
So all...

Camshaft belt by
Wolfgang
Hello,
my 166, equipped with a 2.5 liter engine, is now more than
six years old, but has run only 46,000 km. Last week, somebody
told me that I should change the toothed camshaft timing belt
because, being so old, it could break some day. But since such
a repair is extremely expensive (about ¤...

156 very poorly by
R D S
Jumped on the motorway earlier, hammer down, picked up a reasonable speed
then complete power loss.
Coasted onto the hard shoulder, car wouldn't turn over properly on the key,
suspected an electrical fault (I have been known to be optimistic).
AA bloke turned up, put a booster on the battery, the...

3yr 147, which service needed? by
rk164
Hi,
I have got a 2003 '03 plate 147 2.0 manual. Its just become 3 yrs old
and is in need of its annual service. Its done 16k miles. I was
wondering which service I need? Does it need a 36k service given its
done less than half that amount of miles?
Thanks in advance

Key broken by
GT[_1_]
My 156 was registered in October 2002. It came with 2 keys and I dropped one
and broke it, so it was replaced under warranty by a slightly larger, newer
key about 18 months ago. So I have one original key that is still working
fine and a new key that locked the car just fine last night, but...
