Hi, Having just purchased a late 1999 146Ti I'm now doing the maintenance rounds on the car. Can anyone advise if pollen filters were fitted to this car and if so where is it / how is it changed ? Also where is the fuel filter located ? Any help greatfully appreciated

Hi! Where can I find diagram for engine 24 JTD 2000 ? Thank you. Kris

URL may wrap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7973729360 But are they for the facelift 156 only? Can't for the life of me see how the rears would fit my 2001 156. No drilling, comes with adhesive - ugh! Anyone got any of these aftermarket chrome door sills?

Any kiwis on here? I'm moving out to Auckland next month, and am debating if I should take my 156 out with me. I have concerns about how easy / cheap it's going to be to get spare parts. It's bad enough in the UK when they have to order parts from Milan. Thanks

OK, tried the local paper, no interest. Its a T reg silver 156 1.8 basic model, done 118K miles so a bit on the high side, advertised at a reasonable 1995. One slightly damaged bit of bodywork (door sill) Any ideas of any specialist places I should maybe be advertising it? Thanks for any help

...or maybe 22nd. Soon to collect a 2006 (06) GT JTDm, black, charcoal leather, Bose, winter pack, 17" http://www.btinternet.com/~jacquers/gt.jpg OK, it's done 28K miles and there's a small parking dink on the rear panel (to be resolved ASAP). Took it for a test drive yesterday evening.......

Hi All At the last service I asked my man to sort out the manifold heatsheild, 'twas rattling. He had to remove the shield and weld a bracket back on, when I picked it up he advised that 2 of the 3 manfold bolts were sheared - brilliant! However, having a look I'm not so sure. Here's how to...

Well the EOBD light came on again after giving the MAF a clean, took getting on for 50 miles before doing so though. Took the plunge for a MAF from www.airmassmeters.com , £102 delivered - arrived next day. Noticed the difference straight away, far more responsive. Took nearly 100 miles for...

Only a couple of weeks since I was crowing about getting 40mpg out of the 156 1.8TS, now the bloody EOBD light has come on. Seems to be running OK, I read that if it's flashing there are more serious problems. I found that 2 of the 3 airbox lid bolts were sheared off, and the third bolt hole...

Fair enough, I had to drive like I had Miss Daisy in the back....... 549.4 miles, 61.09 litres to fill 'er up Anyone else driving more economically in these days of soaring fuel costs? Over £70 for a tank of petrol, dear God! Alan

.....I think it was, bounced off the bonnet of my 156 on the way home from work the other day. Just above and to the left of the grille in one of the creases - bugger! Left a dent a bit bigger than a 50p £440 quoted by my local Fiat (ex Alfa dealership, but they still do all servicing,...

....in the radio area. Last time I had a look at replacing the radio I couldn't find any convenient accessory 12v power. Seems to me there's only ignition or permanent 12v. Permanent is obviously needed to retain the memory but ideally I'd like accessory power for the radio. At present it...

Oh what a can of worms this is. UKcentric post. AIUI all Diesel 1.9 GTs are 16v M-Jet JTD, there is a later variant with the 'm' suffix (modificato, or something close) which has lower CO2 emissions and falls into a lower VED band. Performance wise I understand both to be 150bhp although the...

Couple of weeks ago a chap found himself down our cul-de-sac in error and suffered a diabetes episode, while reversing out he caught (very slightly) the front of my GT. He appeared as drunk as a lord, however the woman (later discovered to be his sister) explained the diabetes thing. They came...

Can anyone recommend a good value place to get my 156 serviced in Berkshire (I am near Reading). The prices quoted by Alfa agents (Whitequay in Reading) seem really high.
