Dealer did a A-Z list of things to it before I purchased it 6 months ago.
Dash computer (Alfa brain) always flashing --- I've learned to ignore it but passengers think it's cool!
No other gremlins yet.
I love this car. It's my first Italian and although fit and finish does not come close to Japanese and other Europeans, it has a soul and is therapy on wheels. The sounds from the exhaust are wonderful and cornering is a blast in this car. I also love the way it looks.
Everyone should experience an Alfa!
Alfa owners will be the privileged ones who know experience of "depth-of-soul" that exists in these commercially available race cars.
The flashing light is part of the comprehensive diagnostic instruments of this car. It would behoove a neophyte Milano owner to learn the theory of operation behind this diagnostic equipment for it will keep your high maintenance car up to the task of delivering the high performance of which it is most capable.
For sure to drive this car is a therapy, I bought my first 75 TS six years ago and I just do not want to sell it, wonderful car. It is a good friend, especially when you're a little stressed.
The "Alfa Romeo Control" blinking light display on the dash has affectionately become know to me as "The Anxiety Panel". The one on my Platinum was fairly active for quite some time, and with good reason, since the ABS system remained in a constant state of failure due to a leaking pressure accumulator and the resulting overtaxed pump. A Milano Gold brake pedal/ vacuum booster/ master cylinder installation solved that problem nicely. Since that meant the brake warning light would always be on, combined with the fact that the "headlight out" warning comes on for no apparent reason, helped guide me to the decision to disconnect the panel from behind, and keep an eye myself, on fluids and pad wear. That is my recommendation to those who have grown weary of the light show.
