LOL…..

Must be a he – will stamp his territorial ( urine ) mark.

 

Monthly gathering on 25th @ 1600 ( Sun ) at Stadium do stop over bro [thumbsup]

Recently it's all she but I ever got a he mark before.

Should be the male manx lurking at my place as all other strays are mostly she.

 

Now it's a monthly event already? I missed out the last one.

If you are changing the pump, i suggest you buy the accumulator as well and get them changed together.

Thanks bro!

Sent to AS liao. Water pump mati, 16 pieces of blue.

 

Will try your workshop next time round.

How much downtime to replace the water pump? I probably need to do this soon, and also the aux belts as they are near each other.

 

I'll vouch for MeisterWerke too, they helped to seal my leaky fuel pump early last year.

Sent the car there at about 1pm and can onli collect tomorrow.

CO going to kill me [knife]

 

Should have gotten Peter to do a thorough check on the whole cooling system when I changed my exploded hose with them the last time round.

 

Yup, definitely will try MisterWerke next time round, hopefully for routine maintenance onli.

Yup, appreciate the help from fellow Alfas every time I had a problem.

Too bad the meet up timings clash with my schedule most of the time.

 

Hopefully can get to meet you guys soon.

I usually call Toey to make an appt.. I suppose you can calll the line listed on the webpage as well.

 

As for the parts, i go to either Shop4Parts or AlfaWorkshop to get it.

Need some feedback....if we buy our own parts and get the workshop to fix. Will the workshop "refuse" or "reluctant". Is Meister Werke friendly to such arrangement?

 

Checking those parts online vs what is being charged for my workshop can yield quite big savings.

In the first place got warranty or not even buying parts from WS directly.

 

I change clutch once and I told WS to replace everything in the GB as the GB already need to be taken out.

10,000km later, GB leaking and a small part in the GB which cost $0.20 need to be replace.

So am going to spend $500 for labour to remove GB again and claim for warranty of part costing S$0.20?
