1999 Alfa Romeo 166 review from UK and Ireland
"Beautiful car if it had less problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch collapsed at 60000 miles.
Rear wheel bearing failed shortly after.
Clutch slave cylinder leaked at 65000 miles.
MAF sensor faulty.
General comments?
My problem with the car is that minor repairs tend to cost a lot of money e.g. replacing wheel bearing involves renewing a lot of rear hub. Also only available at main dealer.
