Well

I had two Alfas, a '93 164 V6 Turbo and this, a '01 156 V6, both bought
used. The 164 had 145.000kms, and surely she wasn't well mantained. In fact,
she wasn't mantained at all. But no big problem. The power steering fault 4
times, but 'cause a pipe touching the chassis. The exhaust went completely
down at 180.000km, 'cause massive rust. She had a little oil leak, in a
place harder to find like Hell so I decided not to repair, but just put oil
in the engine every 15.000kms.
She was scrapped with 220.000kms. Now the 156 is perfect; the air mass flow
meter fault one time but was under guarantee, and I've heard that VW's have
same problems.
The GT 1.9 Multijet is a pretty pretty car, but I don't like diesel noise.
But it's a different story with me, I hear every day 'La Musica' ;-)

Bye
