Sunburnsam 2nd Gear December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 The dealer got knock of 5 digit discounts for you? I hope so if you did read my eariler comments. Took your advice and aggressively nego the price....sending to AS for a through servicing and discovery of the car. There is grinding sound when I stepped on the accelerator (esp thru the higher gears 4/5/6). And when I let go of the accelerator the sound disappears....hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabretooth 2nd Gear December 15, 2014 Share December 15, 2014 That's why I asked if you have patience since you've waited so long for this car to arrive. Took your advice and aggressively nego the price....sending to AS for a through servicing and discovery of the car. There is grinding sound when I stepped on the accelerator (esp thru the higher gears 4/5/6). And when I let go of the accelerator the sound disappears....hmmmm Higher gears at Low rpm? Could be your drive shafts or differentials on it's way out. Best get AS to check and confirm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatasan Neutral Newbie December 16, 2014 Share December 16, 2014 Hey everybody need your help. I am currently in Lumut now and my 159 can't start. The battery is working fine but it just lock down whenever I try to start the car. Anyone knows of any workshop nearby the area? Worst case scenario can anyone refer towing services back to Singapore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftco 2nd Gear December 16, 2014 Share December 16, 2014 Hey everybody need your help. I am currently in Lumut now and my 159 can't start. The battery is working fine but it just lock down whenever I try to start the car. Anyone knows of any workshop nearby the area? Worst case scenario can anyone refer towing services back to Singapore? I assume yours is a selespeed. Can you put the transmission into "N"? The car won't start if you cannot put into N. If you can't put into N, is your selespeed motor pump priming (listen for the sound when you open door, insert key)? The pump needs to build up the hydraulic pressure before the actuator will shift any gear. If you really need help, try to google Alfatech which are specialised in Alfa Romeos. They have workshops in KL and Ipoh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
