My unauthorised Alfa mechanic has been unable to reprogram my onboard computer (OBC), hence the message "Scheduled service expired". He was given instructions, however OBC isn't showing KM's so mechanic unable to reprogram.

Question is: do I have to have it reprogrammed at dealership or can I reprogram manually.

Hi Brad

I had the same trouble with my sportwagon.  I ended up going to the Alfa dealer and paying them $40 for their time to re-programe the computer.  I dont normally use the Alfa dealer here in Hobart since they are more expensive than my unauthorised Alfa mechanic.

So a good question which I too would be interested in knowing the answer to.

Dave,
Unfortunately the manual wasn't much help. I will drop into the local authorised dealer to see what they can do. Having the thermostat changed on Monday. Do we have to keep replacing these thermostats or is there a new improved version of the original thermostat?

Cheers

Sounds like the only option re re-setting the computer. Oh well Sad

Not sure re the thermostat, luckily I havn't had that problem yet.  Best bet I guess to ask the Alfa dealer that question while you get the computor sorted.
