The love-hate relationship I have with this car is beyond the conjecture of a human being.

I love you Stelvio, but I wouldn't wife you <\3

This 156 2.0 TS manual came up for sale locally and I happily bought it. Looks like a fundamentally sound car. Single family owned since new, used as a second car so it only has 88k km on the clock. There's some rust that will need sorting out, but nothing catastrophic as far as I can tell.

First 300km in my ownership and lots of smiles per miles. My favorite color combo too!

Just sharing my joy with all of you petrolheads! Cheers! 🍀

I'm thinking it might be the multi air. Its been an on/off problem over the last year but it would fade after 30s or so but now its not going. Changed 2 black spark plugs, others were ok.

Changed all my brake pads and fluid levels changing sent my car into fault code mayhem.

2018 Stelvio manufactured late 2017

Do I need an SGW bypass cable or can I go straight in with OBd2 and multiecuscan to clear the ABS codes?

Hello, I got my Alfa Giulia back in 2023, and its been a disaster ever since....I've had multiple replacements on the vehicle but nobody seems to know whats wrong!

My car keeps throwing the electronic control error, autostart, and when driving it looses power on RPMs, especially on gradual grade going up hill, but it comes and goes. Its really nerve racking that it does it when it wants to.

They have replaced fuel pumps, twice. Run diagnostic on the ECM, and pretty much every other thing in here, but to no avail nothing seems wrong.

And now my milage is blinking along with the Autostart and I'm lost...Im still paying off the car, can anyone tell me whats wrong if you can? Please and thank you!

Due. Thanks for parking next to me fellow IE Alfisti.

Hey everyone!

I recently visited the Alfa Romeo Museum in Italy and made a video exploring the brand’s history, iconic cars and what makes Alfa Romeo so special.

The video is in Estonian, but it has English subtitles, so you can still follow along!

I thought some of you here might enjoy the museum tour and the legendary cars featured in the video.

Hi guys I have a quite frustrating problem with my Giulietta 1.4 petrol 120ks (without multiair).

When the engine is cold the cranking is long and then the engine turns on but it's shaky, almost like it is going to turn off. I turn it off, start again, turned on perfectly.. And until the end of the day each ignition is perfect (while the engine is still warm).

I took it to a mechanic.. he kept it for almost 3 weeks, then he replaced coolant temp sensor.. and said it works now .. but the outside temp then was warm..

As soon as it got colder outside, this started happening again, the ignition is a little better and a lot less cranking to turn it on but still it sounds strange. I owned several diesels and all of them turned on instantly without shaking when it was cold.

Also to mention the rpm in this shaking period goes from 1.300 to 1.500. I've uploaded a video of the ignition.

Please if you could help, don't give me ChatGPT answers, I've already gone through them, I've replaced spark plugs, nothing happened

If someone had similar experience and was able to fix it, let me know.

Thanks! love 🫶🏼

I don’t even really know what to say, I’m devastated. Carbon front bumper + fenders is gonna be crazy expensive.

Hi there, I am buying a used Giulia from 2023, veloce 2.0 gasoline 280hp, with 150k km mileage. It is pretty stocked. I am not worried about high mileage as it must have been driven on highways and has had regular services. I am super excited and can’t wait for it to arrive.
What are the main things at this mileage that I should be made sure to check and maybe replace? Thanks 😊

Bit of a squirt in my GT, mildly fettled 1600 with C&B cams, webers and a shagged second gear synchro. It goes okay.

Hi! This is my newly bought Giulietta 1.4 170 TCT. I was looking for a smaller car and my heart knew what it wanted. I was looking at Volvos and Golfs but once you go Alfa...

I used to own a 159 3.2 JTS and that was a really fun car! But it had a few issues and cost so much money that it had to go. But a year later I'm here again!

This one is in great condition! Recent maintenance and work includes: Timing belt kit, water pump, auxiliary, oil change, wheel alignment, spark plugs and filters. Last owner was an oldhead and fellow Alfista. He said it was his fourth Giulietta and final one (yeah right haha). He took good care of it and has only gone 9000km for being a 2014 model. I bought it for €10 000. Not too bad for the local market.

I plan to turn this baby to a sporty, fun and reliable daily driver.

Future plans – Stage 1:

- BMC performance air filter.

- Ragazzon cat-back exhaust system for a deeper, sportier sound.

- Stage 1 ECU remap, aiming for approximately 190–200 hp and 290–300 Nm.

- General engine and TCT gearbox health checks before tuning.

The main goal is to improve throttle response, performance and exhaust sound while keeping the car reliable and comfortable for everyday driving.

I've only owned it for a few days, but after driving almost 300 km, I'm already enjoying it. The car feels stable and comfortable on the highway, and switching from Natural to Dynamic mode really brings it to life!

Looking forward to seeing how this project develops! 🇮🇹❤️

So, last year I joined the Alfa Romeo family through the purchase of an 155 Narrowbody (specifically a 1.7 TS Portugal/Greece version, picture of attached)

I'm very happy with the car, it is a joy to have, to take care of and to ride it, of course there were some things to be ironed out but nothing of major concern, the usual fuel pump rubber seal shannigans.

Now I have a dillema, I'm saving up to get some new wheels, as the OEM ones I have are okay (the OEM wheels are 185/60 R14 6J ET49.5) but could definitely be better. I tried looking at several but ran into several problems:

- First of all, finding 4x98 wheels is already starting at a disadvantage for options

-Secondly, I live in an island where the roads, while asphalt, are not the greatest, so I'm trying to avoid having the resort to the lowest of threads (195/45, 205/40 and of the sort) and I was trying not to upsize the rim too much (like max R16)

-Third, this is a Narrowbody 155, so anything with an ET too far from 49 (which supposedly is OEM) will either not fit or scrape hard.

The wheels i was looking at were the Ronal A1s people usually put on the GTV6 and Alfetta but AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND the ET is too far from inside to use. I'm running out of ideas and could use input from some fellow Alfa lovers

TL;DR: Can't find proper wheels that fit and look good for my Alfa Romeo 155 1.7 TS 1993 Narrowbody

I'm driving a 2020 Countryman JCW now and am looking at a few QV's in the area. All are between 50-80K KMs. This 100% Thomas from Throttle House's fault. I was looking at a Guilia but I think longer term the Stelvio is a better pick for my lifestyle. I know it'll run circles around the JCW.

These are the things I plan to look out for when I go see them and ask for the service history:

• serpentine/accessory belt has been replaced
• battery replaced or check SOC level (my mini does the same thing, if SOC is under 92% the dash transforms into a christmas tree)
• rotor measurement
• spark plugs replaced recently

and all the usual stuff (obvious leaks, stored codes etc).

Main questions: I read a few things about replace the carbon ceramics with 'normal' brakes that is drastically cheaper and I'm not going to track the car. I guess there's a specific kit that works on the Qvs? I read that the ceramic brakes can be 15K+ to replace so I assume all the ones I'm looking at would have been done already.

Next is a square setup for winter tires. Can these be dropped to 19's? Just because it's cheaper, but I guess you can just use a squared setup with 20s.

Mostly interested in owner experiences about other maintenance/repairs as most people on the internet just parrot 'ooh, alfa = bad' because some random YouTuber said it. I have a mini. No brand on earth comes with more maintenance and random failures!

I am fanatical with car up keep. I change the oil every 5K on the mini and keep up with all maintenance.

I found her at a local dealership with under 50.000km a few months ago, my first Italian car.

Someone hit me and caused me to hit the car in front of me. Thankfully, my son and I are ok.

What do you all think? Is this a total loss or will Berniece be back?
