156 1.8 TS COLD START by
GFitega
It's -15 deg C outside.
When I start it in the morning it chokes a while if I press the gas pedal,
like the machine is going to stop.
It doesn't, just drops rpm almost to zero.
After a few minutes it's ok.
What could that be?

Knackered CD player by
Dom
The CD player headunit in my 2003 156 JTD has become a cropper...
There is a disc in the player but it refuses to play it or eject it. When
selecting CD it says on the screen 'NO CD'
Any ideas of how to get this fixed or is it a dealer job? Its still under
warranty so will the dealer recognise...

Blown Engine 2.0ts 156 by
Liam McLaughlin
Hi guys,
long time no lurk. Have been incredibly busy with work leading to an
increase in mileage, but a decrease in adequate care and attention for
my lovely 156 (Toadyyy on the group website). Lo and behold she's been
running low on oil for far too long and I've shot the engine to sh1t.
Big ends...

Alfa GT stonechips by
Grahame
Hi All,
I've been the happy owner of a Stromboli Grey Alfa GT 1.9 JTD since
September 04.
Over the past couple of months, I've noticed an alarming number of really
deep stone-chips on the front valance of the car (there must be about 20 or
so).
Most of these are quite deep and have gone through...

Cambelt (again!!) by
[email protected]
Im getting my cam belt changed in a few weeks and the mechanic
recommended changing the water pump at the same time, he does seem to
be quite particular about his work (which is nice for a change).
Should the pump be change at the same time?

Alfa 156 1.8 TS ABS lamp lit during brake testing?!? by
GFitega
Dear all,
during brake testing the ABS lamp turned on. The technical inspector says
it's a malfunction. The lamp went off after a few minutes.
I went to Alfa service shop. They say if it went off everything is ok. ABS
functions normaly.
Thanks.

156 - bubbles in coolant bottle by
Steve Collins
Hi,
I've just noticed that when revving the engine on my 156 2.0TS, bubbles
appear in the coolant filler bottle.
My suspicion is that this means the head gasket has failed but the car has
no other symtoms of this - it doesn't seem to be getting oil into the water
or water into the oil...
