Flameblade 1st Gear April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 Dear masters. Since i will be collecting the pre loved 159 ( registered early 2008, maufacturing year 2007) shortly. wanna few doubts to be clarified 1. I notice during test drive that i can switch from manual to auto anytime, but i can only switch from manual to auto when the car is not moving... is that right? 2. i plan to use manual unless there is the jam..wanna get some comments whether there are people doing this? 3. can i top up 95 petrol? or it shall be 98? i assume whether go to esso, caltex, or shell doesn't really matter. 4. tire pressure front and back? don;t fetch people except lunch time with colleagues. 5. understand the service interval is 15k...do i need to do an engine oil change in between? 6. 3. My Alfa 159 prefer 98 ... when I pump 95 it felt very sluggish and the mileage become lower 4. Depend on tire size, mine 17''. I pump 255 Front and and 240 Back for better fuel economy but the ride becomes harder ... 5. Normal servicing is 15k, but my car gets sluggish around 9K mileage ... so I service at 10K. Different car have differnt characters ... not all cars are the same. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparcolite Clutched April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 bro, if im not wrong, Brera == Coupe Spider == Convertible no Brera Spider :) 1) xeryh can help u 2) from what i gather from Peter at AS, the JTS engine is already tuned to the optimum, hard to squeeze anything more. Sprint booster is available though. 3) Alfa Sportivo / Alfa City Duh!!!.. But was told that's the stand name for them... AF Brera Spider.... Any idea how much is the sprint booster n what brand is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparcolite Clutched April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 Sprint Booster is the brand lol... Damn!!.. I look like a Ku Ku... LOL... I guess Bro Theoldjaffa has directed me to AS and I think I'm pretty much sorted. The things i need to know now is what to look out for, with regards to the running of the spider. No fans of GB/Engines/Soft top issues. Had my fair share with my current SLK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count_duku 4th Gear April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 (edited) 3. My Alfa 159 prefer 98 ... when I pump 95 it felt very sluggish and the mileage become lower 4. Depend on tire size, mine 17''.

Different car have differnt characters ... not all cars are the same. Vpower is the best .. $150 only per tank after discount. My 17" tyre's pressure are at 36psi when cold all round. My car is lowered, so over-inflation wears the tyres out very quickly. I just did an alignment, tyre rotation and balancing in Shah Alam near a relative's place at RM$55 but well worth it. Ride is so smooth now .. the tyre shop in S'pore didn't balance the wheels properly, when hit >140kmh on the NS-highway judder like mad.
