Theoldjaffa Hypersonic July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 Hmm, sorry to hear about that. I assume you'll be sending in your ride to AS tomorrow to check again. On average, how much mileage before you'll need recalibrate the Selespeed? I think if there's no problem, u don't need to calibrate. mine's 32k, had similar symptoms before that's why I had it checked. now, its worse. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelloggs 1st Gear July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 Sabre You have a 125 right? How is the fuel consumption for that 3L engine. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmojon 1st Gear July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 No need to do it so dangerously. Any self respecting PROFESSIONAL workshop have this battery pack that will hook up your car to keep the juice going while the battery is changed. If the workshop just haphazardly removes the battery. You should say goodbye to the workshop forever. Hint: The distributor of a certain brand even have this device to check the health of your battery and alternator/electrical system. But then it takes an engineer to decode what's good/wrong. Thanks for the advice. I have seen a small device with a 9 volt battery you can plug in into the cig lighter socket for backup power source during battery change. I am asking mainly is because I might change out the battery myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3badge 6th Gear July 27, 2012 Share July 27, 2012 (edited) hmm. seems like some have no problem and others have all the problem!!! i'm used to servicing at the 7.5k mark anyway with any of my previous rides. i do not mind being a bit more attentive to my car, but i definitely do not want to be shocked by sudden huge repair costs. top speed done on a 159 so far anyone?

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 calling EA to tow my car now. same thing happened this morning.. best thing is.. they say because I did not service at EA, my warranty may be void 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelloggs 1st Gear July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Sounds bad. Hope whatever problem will be fixed once and for all. While other car brands have problems, the % is low. Alfa already has so few cars on the road, and yet. Looks like the QC at the factory is bad. Even though i own one and yet to have any problem, i dont quite agree that the car is reliable. It has a high problematic probability calling EA to tow my car now. same thing happened this morning.. best thing is.. they say because I did not service at EA, my warranty may be void Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelloggs 1st Gear July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 7.9 per liter.not bad for a 3L. How is your GT doing in terms of consumption Yes, it says 6.9 on the display, but the last time I refueled esso 8000 it was 47 litres fore 370km. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjourn 1st Gear July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Here's something new that happen, my aircon has been blowing out sort of pieces of grey sponge out. Think it is some filter in there that has worn out. Anyone experienced that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorjiam 1st Gear July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 It's the insulation inside, not the filter. But it's a good idea to change the filter yearly. For the grey foam insulation, you got to take care. It has a tendency to spill out a lot if your passenger is some impt guest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayuready 1st Gear July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 bro, had my 159 for about 1 month now =p been wanting to ask a stupid question but abit paisay to ask, endured for 1 month liao. haha When i unlock the door using the remote and eventually opened the driver door, there is a whining sound in the cabin that goes on for a short while before going out. Is it normal? Been itching to ask around but when i send car for servicing, no body had point out anything as well. so i am assuming that it is normal =p The sound is there even without starting engine.
