    OBD II Diagnostic Code Reader ~ any recommendations for iOS app (07 Gransport)

    Thank you gents … as feared, the dreaded amber engine warning light reappeared after perhaps 200 miles :mad:. Having reviewed both your suggestions, I confess to trying a third … :rolleyes:. Car Scanner ELM OBD2. Seemed to have (a lot of) good reviews and was recently updated. The good news is...

    Door Mirror Glass (Heated)

    Resurecting an old post but Yes, I can confirm that door mirror glass for Alfa 166 fitted my 07 Gransport perfectly. Sadly, a replacement door mirror glass for Alfa 916 GTV did not fit my 07 Gransport :(

    OBD II Diagnostic Code Reader ~ any recommendations for iOS app (07 Gransport)

    Hi, I have seen links to this Streetwize device a couple of times on the forum. I have had a P0421 code (Catalyst 1 Efficiency below threshold Bank 1) read & cleared by a friendly local garage on my 07 Gransport. More research on the forum suggests it may/will come back on in the next 5 ~ 200...

    Thank you Most certainly NOT and Done Regards my 159, having spoken with Veloces and done a little more research, it would appear you gents are correct in my undervaluing the car. I have never put a car through auction, nor bought from one (Indeed, my last car purchases/sales before the...

    £6500 … A quick scan of any Ti models with 210 BHP reveals only one car with 165k miles which doesn’t help me. No Ti’s below 100k miles less than £6k ?? So, with BIG service & cam belt done, the car is ready to go.

    Finding it difficult to put a price on the Alfa tbh … it is a low mileage unmolested example and is booked in for BIG service with cam belt on 10th August. Brief history below: Zero miles 27/02/09 Pre Reg 9144 miles 26/02/10 18k service DESIRA (Alfa Romeo Dealer) 16795 miles...

    Thank you both … think you are spot on. Have managed to prise it open (to reveal the inner workings) I guess the ‘Navtrak’ was replaced by ‘Tracker‘ at some point (which does not need a similar fob …) ??

    Well, I have finally taken the plunge … and bought an Italian V8 that I’ve lusted after for years !! I have ‘silently’ been guided by all of your words of woe & wisdom and have bought (what I hope is) the best I could afford, with known heritage, complete history and low mileage !! I was after...

    Alfa 159 1.9 jtdm

    Just checked paperwork ... Fuel Filter replaced last service (17mths & 6000miles ago) Electric connection pulled on EGR valve. Car started smoothly (with engine fault warning). Idle was smoother. With max throttle, only got 2000 rpm. Could not drive any distance like that. Reconnected and still...

    Alfa 159 1.9 jtdm

    Thank you again for reply and offer of help. Just had short break in Cornwall. 230 Miles each way on mway/dual carriageway so a good run. Car ran well except for this annoying hesitation at lower throttle settings, good fuel econ and plenty of pulling power when full chat. No smoking from...

    Alfa 159 1.9 jtdm

    Thank you very much for your lengthy and detailed reply, v.much appreciated. Garage performed a ‘regen’ when fitting new EGR valve to try and cover all bases? My idle has been lumpy both before and after this event ... but not to the extent you suggest. You are absolutely correct that the engine...

    Alfa 159 1.9 jtdm

    re: the remap ... I have just had a new EGR valve fitted to my 159 Sportwagon 2.4 Ti (210bhp). Garage fitted a Genuine Alfa Romeo updated ‘restricted’ gasket to help prevent problems repeating themselves ... I do relatively low mileage and short journeys now (car only done 42k miles). However...
