That's the 8v version, surely?

The 1.9 JTD 16v is 140 hp.
Chipable to about 165 hp

its funny you should mention it ...

I have just put my Alfa 1.9JTD 2003 saloon up for sale - cream leather
interior, black, 45,000 miles I never had a problem with it. Performance
wise is great not bad actually, I dont feel like I am driving a diesel put
it that way...

I like the UK though so I guess you would be too far away and it will be
right hand drive...

Assuming you're speaking flemisch/dutch, have a look at:
http://www.alfaromeo156club.nl/

Een club van, voor en door Alfa Romeo 156 bezitters zowel voor de
Sedan als voor de Sportwagon! We zijn Alfa liefhebbers met dezelfde
passie en emotie.

Het forum bevat een schat aan informatie, ook nogal wat vlaamse leden.
