The Joyful Journey with My Alfa Romeo 156

The Log of maintenance, modification and ownership

Falling boot floor of Alfa 156

The boot floor in my 156 fell about an inch from where it should be. I always doubt that the tool set in the boot might not be the original one with the wrong height. It resulted in the falling of the boot floor.

Alfa 156 loose door button

Without any alert, the door button on the passenger-side door did not do its work. The door didn’t open with the button pressed and I felt nothing when the button is pressed on.

Luckily, the door can be opened from inside the compartment, it indicates that the lock is fine but something wrong inside the panel.

Replacing the Alfa 156 MAF

Just over 2 months of the ownership, the 156 gave me its first warning. At a time, my younger brother driving it with my mother on the way home experienced a lack of power suddenly and eventually the car stalled on a busy lane.  I’d say it’s definitely a nightmare, if not the the worst one, to deal with, isn’t it.

Luckily my brother managed to fire the car up after a few minutes and reached home. It is time for an overhaul.   Since we had experience in something similar with a Volvo S70, I replaced the MAF at once.
