Sunburnsam 2nd Gear February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 Check your fuel line. The rubber hoses degrade in time esp here in SG weather. Mine had a leak and luckily was spotted and replaced. Eg: check the floor for oils spots under the car ? or how did u spot it? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I was told to change my engine gasket due to some leak but not Critical. Wondering can last 7 more months (*) So sad....7 more months left to the beautiful wagon. Perhaps the last Wagon built by Alfa :( No more giulia sport wagon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent stated timing belt change at 50k but for AS, its 80k... my car currently is 54k.... when is it advisable to change... appreciate your thots bros.... My belt driven 156 say 60k. Anyway, no one going to stop you from changing the belt at 30k, so I say get it change soon. Result of a snap timing belt is far worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfaman 1st Gear February 21, 2017 Share February 21, 2017 Hihi gents! Always intrigued by the 159. Although 2 close friends have owned lovingly and surrendered themselves over the jap camp eventually, I still have an itch for stick shift. http://m.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=623151 Can buy? I'm on w204 now..tks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
