You recently took over the 99/100 COE GT? its a good car, generally well maintained. Check with the previous owner what oils he used before without issues. W60 is a bit on the heavy side, usually left for the 3.2s a W40 or W50 should be more than enough. Yup that the one. PO used 5w40 ... odd thing is PO has 'refused' to hand over service history. Or rather has not responded to mugs On 12/22/2015 at 1:49 AM, Chrispie said: Fan.. It's considered a small issue lah. My fan kaput twice liao. Yeah. fan is not too bad, but it can lead to other potentially expensive stuff. What I'm not happy about is the professionalism of that supposedly specialist workshop ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm not happy about is the professionalism of that supposedly specialist workshop just need to pay attention to temp gauges. There are the fan, radiator hoses, water pump, elbow joints etc that can have the same effect. Not to mention the number of ways engine oil can leak too.

Would you like to elaborate the basis of your statement? :) I don't see Saabretooth's reply as being vain or disrespectful. And why is Alfa exclusively an exquisite mode of transport?

Alfalution Neutral Newbie January 1, 2016 Share January 1, 2016 Help and advise needed. Hi, just drove my 159 with 5 adults to JB and got stuck in the jam for 5 hours and at its 3rd hour car was on a slope and "excessive clutch temp" warning flashed. Got a shock as the burning smell can be smell from cabin. A week later car judders badly at 1st gear during initial moving off and mildly at R. Got engine mount replaced but still persist. Really irritating especially if u r in a jam. Read on a post by Stig years ago regarding his 159 juddering on 1st and R during initial moving off. Any solution on that Pls advise.
