After only a few days a warning light came on and I checked the hand book, but could not find it so I immediately drove in to the dealer I purchased it from and explained about the light to which he replied 'Don't know what it is, but i will ask my foreman mechanic to check it out' of course he did not know either. Two months later the same warning light came on and the car refused to drive. The engine was running, but no go. The car was collected by the A. A and since that the light has come on about 8 times and it has been towed in another time by the A.A.Sometimes when the light comes on and you switch off the engine the light goes out ,but not all the time. The air conditioning has failed. The fuse cover at the passenger side has fallen off and will not fit back on again. The front tyres have worn the inside edges so much that I had a blow out,despite having the tracking set twice.
The fastest car I have ever driven.
Handles extremely well.
Leather seats are showing signs of wear.
The wind screen de-mister in wet weather is totally useless.
The Alfa Dealer is even more useless.
Could someone please take this car off me soon.
Fuse Box lids falling off is a common problem. Mine did this from new 2 years ago, and after 3 trips to the dealer, they finally fixed the problem with a crude device that you can't see from the cabin, but which makes opening the door now virtually impossible!
Dashboard warning lights - this seems to be a common problem too. Although I don't know the cause of yours, I'd suggest going on to www.alfaowner.com and logging your problem on the 156 forum page. You'll probably be inundated with info from other owners!
