For those who are tired of replacing parts on Corrados

Well think again, look at this list that has had to be replaced on our Alfa 159 Ti, it is 5 years old, done 55k and all work has been done since June 11 when we bought it, so about 15 months.

 

Day 1, battery dies, new battery required

3 weeks in, egr valve sticks open, thankfully sorted with a clean up

Plastic bleed valve blows off, meaning loss of coolant

Replaced pas fluid as Alfa put wrong fluid in at factory

Brembo 4 pot calliper, one piston stuck, replacement calliper required

Full service with cambelt change

Replaced near side track rod plus gator and track rod end

Replaced both upper wishbones due to excessive noise.

 

Also done remap with egr and dpf delete, done as much for reliability as anything else.

Gotta say though the 159 is one fine looking car, especially the estate.

Yeah fantastic to look at and pretty good to drive too when everything is working properly. My bro has the sportswagen, I just about prefer the saloon but if I needed an estate then I would not hesitate. Got the T5 though so can't see that happening!
