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?

Sorry to hijack the 159 thread but I can't seem to find a mito thread....

Check your manual, its usually in the boot or glove compartment.

 

 

Also, here, any alfa discussion is also welcomed :D

Keep the engine bay clean, so that when you check it periodically, you can tell if something is leaking or not

 

Roger....I do observe one of the hose is very oily....going to get it checked out.

 

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)

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.

No worries... will do it soon at 60k....

 

A stupid question..... can the fuel cap be locked? I can't seem to lock it with the ignition key...
