To all
I own a Alfa-159SW. How do I have to reset the service computer of the car?

You'll need the Alfa diagnostic software and the cable.

Possibly easier to take it to an independant.

You sure?

The late 156 'infocentre' can be re-set by the owner.

Can't remember how to do it - but I had to do mine when I had my local
indie service it.
