Popped into my Alfa/Fiat dealer today to get a 5L can of Selena 20K oil for
topping up.
I didn't realise there was a Fiat version and an Alfa version of the Selena
20K oil.

I am looking for the refenence of the battery required for the IR remote
door opener of the 1993 164.

My 1997 GTV has now done 37,000 miles and I am looking to get the
timing belt replaced. Also, it seems to have a noisy variator (or
variator, not sure about the spelling) which was brought to my
knowledge by my nephew telling me it sounded like a diesel!

Ok, so not having seen one of these from new, can anyone tell me if it's
supposed to slope forward slightly when it's down or if it's meant to be
completely horizontal.  Mine slopes, thats why I'm wondering, cos somehow it
doesn't feel right.

although I haven't been active on this group for some time, I am now
leaving the Alfa Romeo brotherhood.
Tomorrow I will return my chiptuned 2001 156 SP1 1.9 JTD to the lease
company after having driven it with much fun for the last 180.000 km.

...bright sunny morning, tooling down the dual carriageway at a
respectable 70 mph.  Very few cars on the road apart form a eurobox in
the inside lane (Pugeot/Citroen/Rover???) and a gold BMW 316 i
convertible in the outside lane overtaking said eurobox UNTIL he sees a

Gabbianno Blue Metallic, Classic Grey Velour. Full ALFA service
history, inc. main dealer new cam belt at 36k. 4 recent new tyres.
Extended warranty until Oct 05, T&T.

I have a 1999 156 v6 Q-sys.
Can any body tell me whether it is OBD2 or EOBD compliant, as I have found
out that is likely to of gone into "limp-home" mode since my earlier post!

I've just placed scans of the workshop manual on my website in .pdf
format.
If you want access, please email me, and I'll give you the URL for it.

I've looked through the manual, but can't figure out how to change the
Traffic Alert volume on my '04 147 radio.... anyone know?

Well, isn't it great, something gets fixed and then suddenly something else
crops up.  Tonight I fired up the engine (2.5 V6 156), and it catches then
cuts out.  I thought maybe I'd let the starter motor kick out too early.
So, try to start it again, and the engine is turning but ...

Hi all you guys.
I wonder if anybody knows how to adjust the headlights on my 146. Year
1997.
I also have a problem with the hatch door defrosting grid.

That is all

I asked a while ago if anyone knew any good driving routes into Italy .I
failed to say that I aren`t setting off until the summer , consequently the
replies I got ( thanks , by the way ) all said " don`t do it - the roads are
closed ."

My garage is hinting that it might be a good idea (and I agree with
them) to change the belts at the 36,000 mile service instead of
waiting until the Alfa interval of 72,000 miles. I asked, and they
said that they've had plenty petrol cambelt failures before 72,000
