Regarding the 'crashy' ride being 'solved' by fitting new Goodyear tyres. Almost any set of new tyres, even cheap ones will mask the 'crashy' ride for a while but it does not last long and certainly doesn't solve the problem.
@TheAlfaNut7 күн бұрын
Ok, maybe it was just that the previous tyres were crap! The ride has remained much better however. What would you recommend as a “solution” then?

In my humble opinion, no car has ever needed a better wheel/tyre spec than the Montreal… the original has never sat well to my eye, it’s a little Italian muscle car without the muscle. I’ve seen Montreals sat alongside mustangs and despite looking way better than the stang, it never looked muscley… so if it were mine, I’d garage the original wheels and throw on a contemporary set of slightly wider wheels front and rear and maybe go up 1 inch in diameter, with a lower profile wider tyre… nothing too crazy maybe just an inch at the rear and 1/2 at the front… then it would be a very muscley looking unit.

Have had a 2013 1.4 multi air for 5 yrs. My only expense so far, after 50k miles, is soon to be 1.7K for a multi air unit incl’ labour. Occasional cut out problems that an Alfa dealer couldn’t identify. It’s commonly known, now, that the manufacturer did not specify that the multi air units filter needs periodic changes, hence the compression problem due to build up of oil - not happy!!

After two Alfasuds, I bought a like new GTV6 from 1983 in 1985 and drove it until 2005. I loved the car very much, but even though it was meticulously maintained and driven, nearly every month something went wrong and it kept breaking down. I had three new, incredibly expensive gearboxes installed. The gearboxes no longer broke when Castrol's fully synthetic transmission oil TAF-X came onto the market. Rust was a constant companion. In addition, you almost always sweated without A/C. A great car, but far too expensive to maintain.

Im a Ferrari fan who has been affected by the Alfa Romeo virus. I do drive a Hyundai I30 n line sedan but the Alfa Romeo Guilia Veloce will be my next car. I gotta drive a Alfa Romeo. Veloce for me is really best variant. I live in Australia and the Quadrifoglio is too expensive to buy and maintain since I live in Australia there is no chance of using its full potential. As a kid despite me desiring Ferraris I always had a soft spot for Alfa Romeos and the Alfa Romeo GT was my go to car in Gran Turismo 4.

Hi mate, thanks for watching. I think if you drive all 3 cars together, you will like the interiors of the BMW and Audi better but if you want to fall in love with driving again, the Quadrifoglio is definitely the best! Mine has more options than my previous 2019 BMW e30 - heated steering wheel, retractable mirrors, heated seats, adaptive cruise and autonomous braking etc. etc The Giulia also holds its value very well. Maintenance on all these cars is similar and the Giulia is cheaper to buy I believe. Drive one and you will understand - the Giulia is a car for people who love to drive. (And who have style! 😎) the BMW and Audi are for everyone else!

Should be able to sort out instantly if a wheel or prop shaft is out of balance. If you're sitting still, slowly rev your engine up and down through the rev range. If you feel a vibration, it's your propshaft. If you hear grumbling, vibration or no that's your center support bearing. (Check that you don't have a guibo missing a chunk and that your.alignment bushed centering the propshaft to itself in the middle, the engine at the front and the gearbox at the rear are in good order.) If not, check your tires (sorry, tyres) for wear, if they look good get your wheels balanced and make sure all your hardware is tight on the half shafts. Hopefully you have a mid '85 or later GTV6 with the removable crossmember. Makes pulling the prop shaft a breeze!
@TheAlfaNutАй бұрын
Hi mate, thanks for the helpful info - after checking for vibration at standstill, it isn’t there so I’m starting to wonder if there is a flat spot on one or more of the “tires” 😉 after being garaged for several years. I’ll be checking those next. PS my car is a 75 V6 (Milano) not a GTV6.
@jpatt1000Ай бұрын
I like the one you got to drive! I've often wondered what a 3.0 in mine would be like. (And the Ronal A1s are THE best looking wheel on this car!) I didn't care for the raspy exhaust note though, mine is very mellow with a slight snarl sround 4000rpms from the 164S cams. I did see you have a 75 (I love the color) but pretty much everything is the same. (Biggest difference is that you probably have anti-lock brakes.) I myself would like to find an Alfa 6 with the single molded glass headlamps. Here's a video of my GTV6. It's old, but she still looks the same today except I now have center caps on the wheels and the old cracked quadrifolio stickers have been renewed. I did my first timing belt change on it two years ago after practicing on my 164 (the GTV6 is MUCH easier) and will be rebuilding my propshaft this spring. (Guibos are a constant source of maintenance. Just like the riming belt, figure about every 6 years or so.) Thankfully most jobs on the GTV6 are pretty straightforward.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp2ZpHmapbqNqcUfeature=shared

Helpful thank you. I'm thinking of buying a Giulietta petrol auto 2014. We presently have a Panda 4x4 with 1.3 T diesel. From new, it has had the same stop start "feature" as your Alfa so probably the same stop start control electronics. May not be a fault but the ECU deciding conditions/parameters not right to apply S/S at that particular stop? I don't let it bother me.
