What did you do with your Alfa today?

Bro (Count Duku),

 

If you decide to scrap your Alfa 159, let me know. I wish to book your manual gearbox (and all the other spares). Hehehe-want to covert the selespeed to manual.

 

Thanks and Cheers.

May not be possible. unless you change the entire ECU. Canbus wiring etc.... not a simple swap. Selespeed ECU and Manual ECU not the same.

Finally had enough of the P zero's noise. Changed out the tyres. Now it is too quiet. Feels unreal at first then start to notice other noises that was drown by the tyre noise previously. So better install back the old tyres? Hahaha

 

What tyres did you get? I got these Pirelli Cinturato P7s a few months back, and they are comfortable and quiet but feels really soft. To make up for it, I pump about 41psi. I had a talk with the tyre shop owner and I said some of these tyres quite soft side walls leh, he said just pump more air lah .. not sure if it makes sense.

Replace the steering pipe and engine mount in AS. $12++ gone

how much for the engine mounts? All four units?

Did both of that before. Cost about that much. Should be just the top mount near the power steering reservoir, and the high pressure power steering pipe.

[Saabretooth]

Changed out Gearbox and Engine oil with Millers CFS. Revs pull much nicer, engine roar is a little louder :)

Just replace a piece at 560. According to Peter, that is the only piece usually need to replace.

I had though that I was going to scrap or sell off my 2005 147 one day back in March 2010 hence, I quit my o.c. habit of listening for irregular sounds and just drove her as you would a normal car. For everyone's info, she lasted till June this year when she blew a head gasket. To troubleshoot the blown gasket, I had replaced most electrical engine parts as advised by an inexperienced workshop (shows how invaluable someone like Peter is to the local Alfa communinty - If I had sent to his workshop in the first place, would have saved me around $500). On the flip side, in this state, looks like she's going to last me another 3 - 4 years.
