Just bought this car today. The wagon version. It looks so sick. I got the jts 2.2 just like you. Its an 09 model with 150 k mileage. Bought it for 2400 euros. It drives so nice. But still gotta check up on some things just to make sure. Great vid bro
These are some of the most reliable cars on the road. Alfa recruited the man responsible for one of the Rolls Royce models and who over-saw recent BMW models. Quality was his priority. In 2 years my 07 Brera JTDm needed a CPS sensor and power steering high pressure hose. Probably as a result of the diesel vibrations. Protect the sub-frame from corrosion and the rest of the car is strong.
Few tips on these beauties - check the timing chain has been changed in last 30-40 thousand miles, really important! The bushes in the upper and lower wishbones (suspension) wear quickly (heavy car) as do wheel bearings, (you can hear clonks and knocks from front of car). Anti roll bar bushes also wear - usually around £130k mileage. Rear shocks rust and front springs crack - great mod are Eibach sport springs all round coupled with Bilstein B6 shocks - will handle as if on rails!
Oh and if your clock is flashing after your head unit upgrade, it's your canbus connections, you can get a lead for that.
Enjoy - cracking car!
Awesome! Thank you for all of that. Definitely gonna check out all of those things now you said it. A lot of things to look out for 😂
Please Don't dechrom it ! that just look bland without these lines
I feel you fr it makes sense. I just like that stealth look thooooo idkkkk
Alfa 159 was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, one of the greatest car designers of our time, the very reason why nearly 20 years later it still looks awesome. Have some respect for the old man and leave it as it is.
@@rayskiii na I like the stealth look
Leave it alone man . Design classic.
The sport wagon is the one you want.
Sick video keep it up brudda. Personality on point.
In the process of passing my driving license and been putting money aside for this bad boy. This video has given me more motivation
That’s awesome to hear. Cool to see more younger people going for these cars. Deffo a great first car.
Exactly today you post diss I was looking for a 159 today this must be a sign you are funny asf 😂
Crazy how the world works 😂
I just bought one exactly the same here in Australia, glad i came across your vid while doing some research hahahaha your an absolute crack up and
im lookin forward to more vids on the 159
Thank youuuuu
My alfa romeo is the same color and everything only thing is mine is JTDm 1.9 with 150 hp 2009. I really recommend changing the oil compressor
I have the 159 tbi lusso ,had it mapped up to 250 bhp.( but probably only has 235 ) as it was two years ago.Love the car ,main future issues could be the m32 gear box ( it’s not great).brittle coolant bottles ,and engine cover can be prone to split.Stone chips are a night mare due to the long low bonnet,and sometimes the side wing mirrors corrode badly.Overall the best Alfa I’ve had ,and the 1.750cc is a is a absolute respected classic when it comes to Alfa engines.
I have the Tbi Ti, mine has been re-mapped to 240bhp (stage 1), had to get my gearbox rebuilt, it had stick movement in 1st and 5th, got it done by a guy in Halifax, rebuilt it in less than 2 hours, drove down from Glasgow but was well worth the trip.
@@Markycarandbikestuff I’ve heard of the guy in Halifax.My Alfa garage told me about him ,I hear he’s very good.
@@jasonparfitt5936 Yep, i can highly recommend him, he does a lot of VXR's but will do any M32 boxed car, full set of bearings (not diff bearings), and a new 3rd gear for £350, only bummer was there is no where to wait at the garage so i had to wander round Halifax while he did it, still worth it though.
@@Markycarandbikestuff well if it’s Halifax ,I’m sure I can “ bank “ on him .boom boom.
But seriously yes I’ve heard he’s very specialised in this field.But walking around Halifax sounds very entertaining.
Just come across you Love the content so much keep it up broski
Thank youuu I appreciate that frfr 🙏🙏
Nice to see a diferent car project. Mine has the first 200.000km time to bigger turbo and intercooler. I'm glad for reliability that everyone talks, nobody buy one and I could have a diferent car from everyone.
Nice my bro! Cool to have other 159 bruddas here!
Was actually thinking of getting the 159 as my first car I absolutely adore the way it looks didn’t make a quote to see how much insurance will be but don’t wanna find out to be fair what year is yours?
mines an 2007, not too bad on insurance
Brother really calls 100k miles high mileage 😅, thats nothing
if your car is a bag of shit just say so lad
@@kiddah haha, funny guy, my high mileage car is cleaner than your shitbox.
100k isn’t that much, specially if it’s a diesel, then 100k is nothing
Have mine, its my first car but i have 2.4jtdm and it drives like a dream
Hi. Same car here:) where did you hide the little black box unit that was in that radio compartment ? I've never knew what that thing control
I believe i just hid it loosely behind the radio
Whats the name/model of that radio, and does it also work with Android phones? Plus what is that extra thing you mentioned that makes it work without the cable?
Hey bro, I believe it’s a Pioneer SPH-DA130DAB. They are already wireless with Bluetooth but to use the CarPlay wirelessly you have to get an adapter. There’s lots online.
For the radio I would have opted for an original navigator, otherwise really wonderful I have the 1.9 16v 150hp with the same interior as yours but for me the seats are in fabric
The original navigator just was a bit too outdated for me and I wanted the car play features, but good to see a fellow 159 owners here ;)
Can you change the horn and change out the fog lights to yellow or led DRL ?
Very specific. Could do tho 🤔 I’ve seen some online with the yellow fog lights they looks pretty slick.
More videos with alfa! 😌
Ti springs break. Great upgrade is Eibach springs and Bilstein B4 shocks.
I have the 159 1.75 tbi and it drives great
Awesome to hear. Would love to have a spin in one of them one day
Word of warning the lights are terrible due to the fact they don't stay clean for long in the winter and they don't have washers. You'll be pulling over or squinting like fuck to see most of the time.
Yea first couple of drives and they were already looking nasty bro 😂 was thinking to get some LED’s to replace the halogens maybe that way they have a lil more brightness to them even if they do get a lil dirty. But yea just one of those Alfa things 🤷♂️
@@rayskiii I'm on the fence with LEDs apparently the light reflects off of more surfaces creating more of a hindrance than solution.
Give them a bash and see what like, but you'll figure out sooner or later the Italians are more form over function. 😄
i’m curious how much was insurance???
2K
Which radio is it?
Pioneer…model?
Pioneer SPH-DA130DAB
Don't know whats worse, the "wild and wacky routine" or trying to sound black?
The 2.2 Jts is a bit slow but your car definetly looks cool
One thing to know about the car which I hate on mine as well is the fact that you only get one cupholder and it's placed in the worst possible place which is behind the shifter.
If you open the centre console storage there’s space for two more cups. There’s indents in the storage walls to keep them in place 😮
3:00 🤣🤣🤣🤣
100k . . . High mileage? No chance! probably the best looking family saloon car!
High-ish maybe. But definitely doesn't look or feel high mileage i'll admit haha
Having a 159 with the navigation system from factory and wanting android auto is simply impossible 💀 who invented this
it's all about apple car play brooo
@@rayskiii bro it don't matter which one, can't replace the oem unit 😭
I cant believe you sold the 350z for this haha 😂
Oh don’t worry we got another 350z on the channel coming soon lol
Thats it jump all over it these people haven't got a clue about alfa romeos
Its an Alfa with 100k miles, what could possibly go wrong.
Everything
Its an Alfa.😂
Same as every other make of car on this planet .let guess you drive German garbage
really excited for this🤍
