The most impactful repair – air intake hose

I have long been irritated by the weak torque of my Alfa 156 TS. That’s why I was so persistent to upgrading the final gear to the facelift version. The upgrade improves the low rpm performance, albeit it is still not quite right until I found the root cause eventually, I reckon. The broken air intake hose.

Renew ignition components

My mechanic suggested to me that it was time to replace the spark plug on my Alfa 156. Following his suggestion, I decided to examine all ignition components. As a result, the findings are quite alarming.

Alfa156 overrun alternator pulley (OAP)

Replacing the simple pulley with an overrun alternator pulley has been a hot topic among Alfisti in Taiwan. However, I found little, if not none, information of getting a proper OAP for Alfa 156 on forums in Europe. Eventually, it took me two Taiwan trips to get the right one.
