Rasfene Neutral Newbie August 12, 2016 Share August 12, 2016 Dear all... need some ideas or reccomendations. Story: The aircon blower started to go max settings one fine day and wouldn't turn off even after taking out the key. Went to Tony, he recommended me to check it out at air-con specialists first as his guys are not that good with that area. Went to 9 Degree LLP at Bt. Batok and they decided most likely its the resistor with the issue. They couldn't fink a ready part available so I sourced for a second-hand online and the problem didn't go away with the new part. They suspect it might have something to do with wiring in the 159 which they are not confident to deal with. Anyone had similar problems? Or workshops I can visit to deal with this? P.S. I've driven for 1 month+ with no aircon!! P.S P.S got this car for almost a year, 2years more, Love the ride... BUT change fuel pump, cooling coil, battery, and suspension arms already! faintz... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasfene Neutral Newbie August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 Went down to MW and bad news.. They couldn't pinpoint the fault as well. Could be the fan motor, wiring, or control panel. They recommend to go back to agent. Sigh... think this is gonna cost a bomb... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasfene Neutral Newbie August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 The AD for alfa is Eurosports Auto right? I will try out one more workshop see how.. The thing is if it's related to the control panel it may be unfamiliar for non alfa workshops... I dunno.. Going to AD as last resort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabretooth 2nd Gear August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 Just got my actuator and clutch changed at 3.3k at As at 112k km. That's good, replace as many as possible concurrently, then you have fewer occurrence of failure... & don't have to visit the workshop so often when other supporting parts fail Hi All, i think i met some dumb ass car dealer trying to b funny & tell me 159 is sensitive to petrol we use.. When I collect my 159 no check light surfaced almost empty tank fuel... I go top up shell 95 2nd day morning engine check light surfaced.. I ask the car dealer.. He told me to finish my current tank & top up using ESSO instead of shell.. Dear all alfa owner.. Does this make any sense?? Please advise... May i join watsapp groupchat?? Dealers may be pumping the cheapest petrol available... 92RON... and yes there is a certain level of sensitivity. Most have seen stable performance with Caltex and Esso. And more ups and downs with the others. some find 95 better, some find 98 better. your car is temperamental... Hi, Same I took over Alfa 159 last Fri, and CEL is on.. was advised probably becoz of petrol grade... Anyway, went to VICOM for 7th year inspection, also pass and no issue... Did not notice CEL affecting any system till now... "cross my fingers and toes" Cheers.... well, once you uncross your fingers and + 4 weeks, something will pop up.. The AD for alfa is Eurosports Auto right? I will try out one more workshop see how.. The thing is if it's related to the control panel it may be unfamiliar for non alfa workshops... I dunno.. Going to AD as last resort. yes, or you could go Alfa Sportivo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabretooth 2nd Gear August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 Any idea the pricing for accumaltor and actuator in Singapore? What could be the possible root cause of my bella? Thanks. these are mechanical moving parts, which will have wear and tear over time. that's the root cause. also, many people, who want to manage cost, replace one at a time. if you replace on leg, the next weakest leg will break as the load is transferred to it... So where possible, replace all selespeed components at the same time. also flush your Selespeed fluid, Gearbox Fluid...etc at least once a year. oil and fluid degrades......... etc etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasfene Neutral Newbie August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 Maybe I will try Sportivo.. Hope they can can do something about it... Guys familiar with both Alfa city and Alfa Sportivo can give feedback about the 2 place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe 3rd Gear August 19, 2016 Share August 19, 2016 Maybe I will try Sportivo.. Hope they can can do something about it... Guys familiar with both Alfa city and Alfa Sportivo can give feedback about the 2 place? i find Sportivo better with troubleshooting faults. For Aircon, i think he hooks up with other workshops.
