160 Series (90, 75, 164 Sedans) / Alfa 90 V6 dipstick collar
Last post by Dishy - April 24, 2024, 01:46:17 PMHi All,
I always wondered about the oil level in my Alfa 90 V6. The car never seemed happy if I filled the oil level to anything above about half way up between min and max. It would occasionally cough blue smoke under initial hard acceleration and the oil level would pretty quickly drop to where it says min on the stick and then sit happily at min for months and 1000's of k's.
I had a look at the dipstick today and it looks like there is a witness mark where the collar has moved up the stick from its original location. Does anyone know where the collar should fit on the dipstick?

Last post by ALFAAA - April 24, 2024, 11:31:56 AMHi GTV6atlast,
No this attachment hasn't got all tension spes's, looking for a straight forward chart, I have seen the one for the early Busso Alfetta GTV6
Would any have a spec tension chart for a Busso 3.2 v6 that they can sent me.
Regards

General Discussion / Re: Michelin PS5
Last post by Craig_m67 - April 23, 2024, 01:17:29 PMFor those playing at home... I went with a set of 4x Michelin Pilot Sport 5. They have a dealydeal thing on (until eoMay) and it ended up costing just under $260./cnr [225x40r18] fitted etc. Was tempted by cheapest brand new factory Chinese thing ($86./) just to see, but meh/lazy.
Anywhoo... The new PS5 feel smoother and quieter, but then I ran the last set of PS4's right down to the ground... so not a real baseline.
(I need to change the oil, give it a wash)

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re: Giulietta door mirror
Last post by GTVeloce - April 23, 2024, 10:10:31 AMWhat type of mirror is it? I have disassembled both the GTV6 type (with metal backing) and the 75 type (moulded plastic). The metal ones are much easier...

Last post by Cavtrav - April 21, 2024, 11:31:43 AMThank you. I had contacted them earlier, but was hoping to source one in Australia. I note your comment about them being best OS supplier as no doubt I will need them in the future again. Once again thanks.

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Giulietta door mirror
Last post by pafiat - April 18, 2024, 02:48:06 PMThe electrically controlled door mirror on my Giulietta has developed an irritating rattle. Before I tear into it, I wonder if anyone has had one apart? It doesn't look obvious how to attack it. Any suggestions welcome.
