The Joyful Journey with My Alfa Romeo 156

The Log of maintenance, modification and ownership

Renew Alfa156 brake hoses

I always thought that I’d installed braided stainless steel brake hoses on my Alfa 156 when I upgraded the front caliber, I didn’t – my mechanic told me. The front calibers had ordinary rubber hoses, on the contrary, the rear calibers had stainless steel braided hoses. hmm……

While the front hoses are rather new as they were newly installed during the caliber upgrade a few years ago, the rear hoses looked tired.

Replace Alfa156 airbag ECU

I’m very used to seeing the Alfa 156 airbag warning indicator lit up. Usually, the problem is caused by one of the loosely contacted airbag connectors. Resetting it with the software in most cases will solve the problem. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work this time and the error message indicated something else.

Replace Alfa156 front shock lower bushes

My mechanic asked me if I want to replace some front shock lower bushes. The targeted benefit is to further improve the up-and-down response of the front wheels. I said why not as the front lower suspension arm has been in services for a few years, the bushes likely have worn out. And they are about to.
