Is this typical?

Hey all,I recently bought an Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4 MultiAir TB with 135 HP.

I will take it to the mechanic soon to get the oil and filters changed as part of the regular maintenance just to be safe.But I wanted to ask:

Are there any important things I should look out for regarding maintenance for this version of the car,since it's the multiair version and I've heard it requires a lot more maintenance than the normal TB versions without the multiair.

Thanks

No muffler no res, makes this thing feel like a baby super car. On the way to a Sunday car wash, be safe guys 🙏🏻

Anyone in central Texas with yellow calipers looking to swap for red?

Cars and watches🤓

I inherited a 2007 159 2.4 Diesel Berlina with 180,000 km as my first car four years ago. I spend more on my car every year than it is worth. Half of the time, it is in the repair shop, and I have to borrow a family member's car. For the past two years, I have only been able to drive it for maybe 10-12 months. I have had to rebuild the engine twice, although one of the engine rebuilds was because the dealer performed poor service and missed that the timing belt was worn down while they did maintenance. It broke, and after fighting for four months, I ended up just taking it elsewhere to be rebuilt. The second rebuild was because the cylinder cracked. My heat shield recently burned and I haven't been able to find a new one. A lot of spare parts have been hard to find because they don't make them anymore, and I am missing some interior parts because of that. My turbo has been acting up for a year now, and I will need to replace it soon. But other than that, it is great to drive when I get to drive it, and the turbo doesn't lock up. I currently have 202,000 km on it, as I haven't been able to drive it that much due to all the issues with it.

Hey folks So i have an Alfa GT 1.9jtd and have an issie getting it to run. Car was fine up until two days ago and now it will sometimes start but most of the time it won't, cranks no problem at all but wont actually start. When it does decide to start its running but a little bit lumpy and will only climb revs fairly slowly maxing out just over 3k and then falls a bit and goes back up and repeats. There have been no warning lights on the dash board, no error codes and I'm currently scratching my head as to what it could be. I have taken off the maf sensor and the egr valve and cleaned them out, injectors are all working and no hoses are split anywhere. I'm by no means a mechanic but my friend is who is also at a loss as to whats going on, hes only had the chance to call in and have a quick look so far. The car will be going to his garage tomorrow but I'm looking for some guidance as to what to look for. Many thanks

Browsing auto trader and I saw that the finale looks eerily similar to a MG HS. From the seat, door cards and even the virtual cockpit drivers display. Came to thinking, they might be the same chassis. Anyone noticed this?

I am a new grad PA. My fiancée recently found out she was pregnant. My Scion xB also recently broke down (it is still driving I just don’t want to have to go through that again). I have this dream of having a sports car but now I will also be having a kid so I am looking for something sporty and baby friendly. I was able to test drive this Alfa Romeo and I really liked it it’s sporty,luxury and a lot of rear seat space I honestly think it’s perfect. I don’t know much about Alfa Romeo though specifically the reliability. I know this sub may be a little biased about the reliability of Alfa Romeo I would just like to hear others experiences with the reliability of Alfa Romeo.

Another small touch up. Couldn't find a badge of this size with bright 🇮🇹 color so I just bought some random emblem and spray paint myself

Should I take it into my local Alfa Romeo for the 30k service? I know they change out the belt at 30k miles and a few filters but I’m unsure if it’s worth it knowing I can do it myself (I’m a diesel mechanic)

I have the extended warranty but I don’t know if it will cover it/ what the cost will be

I'm looking at a cheap but rough 147GTA, it possibly has a blown head gasket. It's a Selespeed car. Is this a terrible idea? I've owned a few Alfas in the past and can fix it myself.

Most days I run the kids to school then to work and home again in my Stelvio. Usually this means about 36mpg. Today I did a 110 mile round trip and the mpg was somewhere between 55 and 70mpg on the bar graph page. Need to do the same again tomorrow so will reset and see how I go. Amazing what it can Do on a longer run. School to work is only 7 miles for reference.

Hello, I'm looking to buy new set of wheels. BSPK gabriella/Stefania are my number 1 option. Still debating if I go with 19" or if I stay with 18".

Those running square setup in 19" what tires size do you have ? Does 255/35r19 fit in the front ?

Edit: it's for a Stock Giulia 2017 Q4.

Hello,
I have a statistics project where I need to collect 100 samples, and as a car lover, I decided to gather samples from some car owners.
I have 5 questions:

• What model is the car, and how much did you pay for it?
• How long have you owned the car?
• What is the mileage of your car?
• On a scale of 0 to 10, how would you rate your experience with the car?
• What is the average annual maintenance cost?

I'm going to cut straight to the chase, I've got a Alfa Romeo 159 from 2006 and I want to change the stereo into something with bluetooth so I can connect my phone to my speaker system. Looking around online has provided little to no results and so now I turn to here. Any advice would be appreciated.

[Unsure if this is relevant whatsoever but I live in Europe]

Hi there, I test drove my first gtv today and admittedly I was a little disappointed, it is a high mileage example with 140k miles on it. I was wondering how a gtv should feel to drive, the steering was very very light and didn't stiffen up much when up to 70-80mph making it quite unnerving and not very engaging to drive with barely any feedback through the wheel. The brake pedal was very light too almost no resistance from it. It also felt a little underpowered for the TS. My previous car was an MG ZR with 115hp so I was expecting a noticable jump in how it accelerated. Could this be gearing? I plan to drive a spider soon as those are the only 2 closest to me currently before I venture out to the other side of the country for a clean example. Any insight would be amazing.

So today I had to fold down my back seat and that worked reasonably well. Now I wanted to fold it back again but the left rear seat doesn't lock into place and the right one does lock in but can be folded down again without pulling the lever (it should actually hold on). I have already used well-dosed force in vain. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I’m looking into getting a 2020+ Giulia in the near future. I test drove one and loved it, and the depreciation makes a used model very affordable. I would plan on buying a MOPAR warranty in conjunction with the car

My only reservation is the logistics of having the car serviced and repaired. I live in the DMV area and I have two Alfa dealers from me both 50 miles away (one in DC, one in Philly). For most car brands there’s usually a dealership in town so it’s easy to deal with or to get home during the repair

But I’m wondering if my headlight were to go out, or something goes bad, or even just a service that runs over a day, how do you guys address that? I can’t just pay for a 100 mile round-trip Uber. Does Alfa offer loaner cars while they work on your car?

I’ve had these since I had my Alfa. I sold it a while back. Just came across these again. Can’t find much info on them. Any help?
