The GTV lives I finally get it running after 18 years

[@akoskovacs1337]

Gorgeous sound with that exhaust

[@ItaliaAutos]

Very loud.

[@Basseck]

It's unbelievable how great the old Arese V6 sounded.

[@the_stoned_priest]

Great to see these beautiful Alfa's / Busso's being preserved. Top man! I've done the same with a 156 V6 veloce wagon - you sorted me out with the air filter housing, thanks! Love the spec on this GTV and look so much better without the spoiler to me. Keep up the fantastic work and really informative vids, mate!

[@TheFlyingBusman]

A glorious engine note. I loved working on these back in the late 90’s. The 24v is an absolute gem and those chrome inlet headers look fab. So pleased this one lives on.

[@ItaliaAutos]

awesome cars.

[@craiglangley9224]

Nice to see that i am not the only one that ends up cutting myself when working on cars. Great vid

[@ItaliaAutos]

Right on

[@rhysevs]

Gorgeous car with an amazing sound. Totally deserves to be back on the road and saved!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Absolutely!

[@thomaswilliamson7067]

It looks gorgeous, even without the work on the bodywork yet. Gorgeous colour and the engine sounds fantastic!! Well done mate.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks a lot!

[@RichieRouge206]

The Busso is possibly the nicest sounding engine ever. Followed by Volvo/Fiat 5 cylinders lol

[@ItaliaAutos]

it sure is.

[@marcobraga68]

It's a petty you did not clean the engine before sliding it into the body but I was really touched when you truned it on!! Great job! Greetings from Italy

[@ItaliaAutos]

Right on.

[@simonmckenna3075]

Sounds lovely - nothign beats a good busso ;-)

[@ItaliaAutos]

You got that right!

[@giovannisantoro8574]

Gorgeous Busso! What exhaust is fitted to it?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Ill have to ask the customer but its very loud. Not a daily driver sound.

Hey Niel, don't give up mate I love what you have produced and i'm waiting for my coupe to come out of quarantine and whilst i brought it from the UK I did get many photos of it.

Glad I'm not the only one plagued by that damn injector light! Just about to put a new cam shaft sensor in my Twinspark, what a lovely job! Lets hope this works.

[@ItaliaAutos]

at least this fault was sorted easily.

[@richardpowell5369]

@@ItaliaAutos is it possible to replace the cam shaft sensor without removing the cam belt and all the other stuff on a 932 2.0 twinspark, as I've just been quoted £500 for it all to be changed

I had one, exactly this model, V6 with Teledials. If anyone wants to know what the fuss is about Alfa, drive one of these. You'll understand

Yep. Totally agree.

[@ItaliaAutos]

Thanks Its a wizard exhaust

[@drivermod7288]

Italia Autos Cheers. Wizard Cat back and standard from manifolds to cat, or?

[@nsz2302]

@Italia Autos Watch out! It's got a fuel leak from rail2!!! It would be a shame to burn it down. At 7:40

[@ItaliaAutos]

Its smoke. Surprisingly no leaks from that rail. Just the air leak from egr as I didn't tighten up the bolts.

[@nsz2302]

@@ItaliaAutos Watch carefully at 7:40 you touch the rubber part of the fuel hose going to the rail with your right hand and a bit of fuel squirts out as it moves. Maybe you should go back and double check just to be on the safe side.

[@ItaliaAutos]

@@nsz2302 oh yeah. i did that clip up after. but well spotted.

[@TABRO284]

well spotted.

[@nsz2302]

@@ItaliaAutos thnx. Btw still waiting for that 166 clip. :-P

[@155stw]

Does it have equal length pipes and a Wizard system? I never knew a really early GTV had no DBW and also had EGR. My ex 95 164 Super had EGR but still had the old flap AFM. I guess when the 156 came they switched to DBW.

[@ItaliaAutos]

yes it does.

[@ChopsGarage]

Reassuring you make mistakes like that with pipe as I do very similar things lol

[@ItaliaAutos]

oh yeah plenty of mistakes. lol

@@ItaliaAutos I think I had the same expression as you when I got my cheap Thesis running the other day , had been fighting it on and off for days. What keeps you going isn't it the satisfaction of a fix

[@gaudefroydemontmirail]

Nice to see it coming back from the other world ! I have a 156 V6 i'm working on, it has a very bad idling, lots of misfires but everything mecanical is good, sparks are good, new injectors, all sensors new, timing is good, heads redone, compression at 12-12.5 on every cylinder and no fault on ecu. Do you think the problem could be the ECU ?

[@psk5746]

Maybe coils?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Sounds great! wouldnt of thought it was ecu.

[@jordyhofste1647]

Good sound! Thinking about selling my fiat barchetta and getting an Alfa or something. Any good cars for students but fun to drive? Thinking about a GTV or GT

[@ItaliaAutos]

I'm looking for a barchetta to feature on my channel if its cheap and for sale.

[@deanstanley5799]

Any plans to do a brake bleed run through on a V6 gtv with the brembos about to do mine and any tips on bleeding them?

i do need to bleed them again still.
