ALFA 156 1.8TS - CAMBELT FAILURE
hi,
Help required. Cambelt went last night on my 156 18.TS. Noticed it was playing up night before and went on the way to the garage!!!! I know this is going to cost me. Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect. Its failed just before 60k - is this normal. If seen other posts suggesting this shouldn’t happen so early. Any help / advice would be appreciated -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Alfa-Romeo...ict130007.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Since August 2000 the general policy is 3 years or 60000km although Alfa has
been quit reluctant advertizing this. They just hope you come in at 60000km or 3 years and then give you a strong advice (just to be sure.....) to change the belt befor it fails. Sounds good in relation to what happens when the belt fails! So most owners will do so.

Mine went on my 2.0 TS at 55k miles and I was quoted =A32500. As it was
under the scheduled change and had full dealer service history Alfa picked up the bill. |
