Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / February 2008156 powersteering problems
On my 2000 156 1.8 Sportswagon my hydraulic tank leaked heavily so I took it to service. After fixing the leak the guy told me that also the steering assembly leaked and had to be replaced. He said it was a common problem w. that model and year. Is this just an excuse to let me bleed a quite awesome sum or is he onto something here? B.r.

Thank you. - I'll quizz him a bit closer. Happy w. the 145 Clover? I'm considering importing one from Germany. To DK, that is.

Bit primitive by today's standards, but as a driving machine,it's the second best I've driven :) SignatureCatman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 145 2.0 Cloverleaf 156 V6 2.5 S2 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk >Fantastic car.

Bah..a technicality! > Want to guess again? Nah..I'm way out of my experience zone. The only time I was in a Sprint (a long time ago) I wasn't fit to stand (and neither was the driver!). I don't recall ever seeing a 116 let alone knowing how it drives. Go on..do tell.. I hope it's not as obvious as the 116..

I hope it's not as obvious as the 116.. Nope. The Sprint. It's truly lovely to drive. Engine just keeps pulling and pulling, and the control is just sublime. 116 is OK, but requires rather more persuasion, particularly with that heavy lump at the front.

My colleague had the same problem on his 2001 156. It must be common for the age. > On my 2000 156 1.8 Sportswagon my hydraulic tank leaked heavily so I > took it to service.
