Finally my Japanese import gta gets a whole lot of love.

[@bengetty8921]

Incredible to watch a wizard at work especially in this era of electronics and computer diagnostics taking away from the craft of mechanics.

[@ItaliaAutos]

thanks for watching.

[@silvermane9370]

I’m always in awe of a professional when they illustrate the depth ad scale of their knowledge. I’m off to look at used Alfas and Fiats again lol.

[@anthonybrand6137]

Its alive !! Always a pleasure to watch a professional at work, making the install look simple & straightforward. Keep up the good work!

[@howardlake6178]

Your best video yet, and that's saying something with many brilliant ones before. I changed a fuse on my epic Seicento Sporting yesterday, and felt like a hero when the interior fan burst into life. That.....was like the most complex jigsaw puzzle I have ever seen. 😳

Thank you for giving bussos so much love on your channel. Really awesome to see. I also enjoyed the length and detail of this video.

You're a real pro Neil it's always a pleasure to watch your videos, keep em coming!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks for watching. 👍

Very nice work mate. I like the fact that you don’t use a nut runner to wind bolts in, my friend does that and I think it’s quite sloppy. At least you get a feel the way you’re doing it.

[@ItaliaAutos]

I’d just hate a double threaded bolt after all my hard work.

[@rezaq1]

@@ItaliaAutos next time I see my mate with a nut runner on any of my cars I’ll break the tool....sloppy it is

[@antonrocchi256]

Neil, I wish you were in Brisbane Australia, as finding a true Alfisti mechanic is far and few between... I love your vids and has made me a little more confident in doing some of the little servicing I do on my 2000 gtv, 156 gta and 4C... Love your passion with Alfa’s as I, Respect🤟 Brisbane Australia

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks for watching.

Lovely car, lovely video… with the cool intro again! Thanks for this video Neil, absolutely amazing job and really fun to see!

[@happyhermit2022]

Excellent...love the time lapse. As the only licensed independent tech in western Europe to maintain the climate control on turbo prop rotary and also fixed wing aircraft...I'm aware of how long this stuff takes...the clients like to pay the invoice for time lapse but not the real time. 🤗

Awesome Neil!

What a job, great craftmanship, enjoyed very much. Thank you, eric from Amsterdam

[@CansuAlper]

Eric hi, I am also living in Amsterdam. Do you know a good alfa service here? I was a Alfa driver back in my country but last year I moved to Amsterdam and I really need to find a good service like Neil to buy one in NL :)

[@ericbovenkerk7608]

@@CansuAlper Hi I m sorry to say but already more than 20 years ago Sam van Lingen in Haarlem was a great Alfa place. But not anymore. I don t know any great Alfa technicians around here. Regards eric

@@ericbovenkerk7608 Hi, thank you so much for your respond. Well in that case I should keep going to check for a good technician. Regards Alper

[@davidcoates350]

Great vid Neil, thanks for showing the rebuild. That would take me weeks.

[@iamyourfuture808]

cant believe how restrained you were when it started... not even a whoo hoo !! id have been dancing around the workshop ;-)

[@ItaliaAutos]

I had all confidence it would be fine. 👍😀

[@Keroppikun]

Not many do, but I really like that old Selespeed. I use it in manual 95% of the time - with the stick shifter - but having the option of that City Mode auto is nice.

[@stewarthaddon3219]

Thanks Nelly, great video pal. Love how you resist the temptation to use a nut runner when you're rebuilding the engine!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thank you!

Great work Neil :-)

[@vassallo49]

Unbelievable fast to fit the engine!😊 Bel lavoro!

[@Thecarman1994]

Love your honesty

[@ΣτάθηςΧριστοδουλόπουλος]

The uneven sound when it starts means there is lack of compression in one cylinder

[@alf155v6]

Yep, I noticed it too

[@frosty98412]

That is probably because the lifters were dry of oil

[@iamyourfuture808]

@ 4.05 you could do with some plastic storage boxes to keep all the parts together including all the nuts and bolts. then if required, you can stick labels on the outer to quickly identify. ive heard you mention a few times now, you've "lost" parts during rebuilds. also at 5 minutes id have raised the forks on the pallet truck so you are working at bench height (EDIT , YOU DID LATER) instead of bending down... you do like to make things difficult for yourself Neil ;-)

[@_RicksGarage]

Well done Neil 👍🏼

Another great video🙂.I would be interested in seeing how to change the lambda sensor as i think the same one on my GT is kaput.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks. It's not an easy one to fox or film.

[@macchinista10]

How do you replace the timing belt in minute 09:20 behind the pulley wheel, can you show us? If i change the timing belt, i release the nut and remove the pulley wheel. Thank you for all your work! 😊 I own since 18years a 147gta

[@ItaliaAutos]

I take it off I just put it on the help rotate the crank. But you don't need to put it back on just the nut and washer will do

[@fredstraw]

I have done the same so many times, always something you forget to do loll

Hi, everyone. I have problem with mine 159 1.9 8v 2009 Fan is not turning on second speed on high temp. Ive changed resistor on fan. Fan is still not switching to second speed. First is ok when i turn climatisation. Second one also but only when i disconnect thermostat(ive installed new one) Can you tell me if there is something else to be done?

May be the on-board control unit. Control by examiner for the diagnosis.
