Title: 09' 159 2.4, someone please talk me out
Post by: Anovea on March 04, 2023, 08:40:08 PM
Hi everyone. new to club alfa, recently I've found a 09' 159 2.4 diesel whom the owner claims has a full service history and had the timing belt done 1000kms ago. I'm very tempted to send it for a inspection then snatch the car up. I did some digging on google and found out that apart from the DPF clog the 2.4 is pretty reliable. so as title suggests :D anyone here to talk me out with their tale of woe about the 159?

TIA :D

Owned one of the last 159 2.4 Ti wagons imported into the country and loved it. Had the DPF delete / remap done by Alfamen  which improved fuel economy, power and OMG the torque from the 2.4 was divine. It's largely acknowledge the 159 is a very reliable car, just try get the series 2 update and a pre-purchase inspection is a must.

Enjoy!
