Very nice videos. I own a 147 105cv on 326000 kms on odometer. Its very hard to find Alfa Romeo tutorials. and troubleshooting guides. We dont have talented Alfa mechanics here and most of the time I am telling what is the problem about the car which I find from internet or from my multiecuscan software. This oil in spark plug wells going into spark plug boots causing random misfires. Few months ago I told the mechanic to clear this oil but he said no. I insisted and misfires disappeared. Thank you very much for that videos.
@@arcgarage Indeed! I owned before Guiletta 1.6 mjet, 156 2.0, 147 120cv and I can say I love my 147 105cv amongst all. Probably I ll keep that little one and never sell.
Thank you for the video. Lately I’ve been starting to work on my own Alfa 147. Now that I have a mentor and all the information I need I’m seeing things that the previous owner just screwed up. Spark plugs that are unscrewable with my own hand. I got 8 new original NGK sparkplugs in with the right amount of torch. Mass airflow sensor all cleaned and replaced the oxygen sensor. Ready for winter! Much appreciated.
My 147 1.6 105 hp dated 11/2007 has 181000km has been fitted with an Emer LPG system since 2016, also I have recently changed the spark plugs, I have put 8 platinum champions ... the old ones were Bosch nickel with shorter duration, 4 new coils and new spark plug cables from Ngk .. I wanted to put the Pulstar I think the best absolutely or the iridium ones but in the end I opted for the platinum ones .. a greeting from Italy
Good choice, Bosch are inferior but I do replace them more frequently. My 147 is also up for the spark plug change in the next few days and I might opt out for NGK. Greetings...
Hello, as always good videos, I have seen how the spark plug wires are placed in the manner of 2 spark plugs per cylinder, in my car they are different, which is the correct way? I have read something about asynchronous to synchronous, the truth is that this topic drives me crazy, because I always have gas problems to pass the inspection, the car has been checked for everything, thank you.😊
Your videos are always very helpfull .thanks One question. i drive a alfa romeo 147, got it last year. I read on one of the alf romeo forums that i will need 8 x Spark plugs for the twinspark selespeed 16v? just a little confused if i need 4 plugs or 8 . thanks
Thank you for another great video! Do you think that is any big difference between the Bosch and NGK plugs? Because a set of 4 + 4 NGK plugs for my gt costs 190€ and the set from Bosch cost half of that. What do you think? Keep up the good work 👍
well i am think it have do do with the drive modus ...if you are mostly drive fast -racing with higer rpm than is the NGK the better option , but if you drive normaly ist the Bosch OK ...i have use NGK and Bosch .and in the Future i take the Bosch .iam not Happy with the pantasy prices from NGK :but the other point is I change the spark plugs every 15,000 km The Twin Spark engines were originally developed for aircraft and are serviced after operating hours
Very nice video i want to do this myself ,but i have a question My alfa romeo gt 1.8 twinspark does not start right away in cold weather it starts easily if the motor is warm but not when its is cold is this normal ?
I once noticed that I had oil in my left sparkplugs. Can this be the cause of a faulty headgasket or can there be any more causes? Thanks in advance, nice tutorial!
hey buddy im watching your videos since 3 days i just bought a alfa 147 1.9 16V m-jet can you tell me why alfa beeps when im driving or not i’m not pressing any button or something but alfa beep like every 30 second or 1min thank you
Please,how did you know how many Nm you used to tighten the plugs? Or did you just tighten them as tight as they can go? I want to change the plugs on my 147 but I don't have a torque tool? Should I just tighten them good??? Thank you !!

8 for sure
Is it important to use a torque wrench to prevent overtightening the plugs when replacing them?
Well, if you work on cars on regular basis you get the feel for them. Otherwise it is better to use it and prevent the damage to the threads...
Thank you for another great video!
Do you think that is any big difference between the Bosch and NGK plugs?
Because a set of 4 + 4 NGK plugs for my gt costs 190€ and the set from Bosch cost half of that.
What do you think?
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, honestly I don't, I prefer the NGK, but Bosch spark plugs will do...
well i am think it have do do with the drive modus ...if you are mostly drive fast -racing with higer rpm than is the NGK the better option , but if you drive normaly ist the Bosch OK ...i have use NGK and Bosch .and in the Future i take the Bosch .iam not Happy with the pantasy prices from NGK :but the other point is I change the spark plugs every 15,000 km The Twin Spark engines were originally developed for aircraft and are serviced after operating hours
Very nice video i want to do this myself ,but i have a question
My alfa romeo gt 1.8 twinspark does not start right away in cold weather it starts easily if the motor is warm but not when its is cold is this normal ?
Thanks, you would have to test it out with diagnostic tool, it could be variety of things
One week ago i buy my alfa 147 1.9 120cv 😍😍😍
Congrats, it is a great car...
Good job !
Do you have the reference of the original candles ?
Thanks !
Thanks. No, sorry
@@arcgarage and the reference of the Bosh candles ?
Thanks
I once noticed that I had oil in my left sparkplugs. Can this be the cause of a faulty headgasket or can there be any more causes? Thanks in advance, nice tutorial!
Thanks. The issue is much cheaper and easier to fix, it is a bad valve cover gasket. You got a video on channel on how to replace it...
Thanks! I will take a look
Can you tell me which spark plugs you have bought ?
How to know when its the right time for a change?
Check the service history. Bad plugs could also manifest through rough idle, misfire, etc.
The Bosch Spark plug ar realy nice, a tested it on my 147 Ti the Ngk are fare to expensive.
Exactly, I didn't have any issues with Bosch either
@@arcgarage which Bosch spark plugs you used because i found many part numbers
So I need to
Put genuine NGK on my 147 or these will
Do ?
These will do, I used them in my previous Alfas, and the same ones were in this GT...
@@arcgarage thanks can you give me a link ?
I bought these locally...
Use NGK Iridium if you don't want problems on the long term. ..
hey buddy im watching your videos since 3 days
i just bought a alfa 147 1.9 16V m-jet
can you tell me why alfa beeps when im driving or not
i’m not pressing any button or something but alfa beep like every 30 second or 1min
thank you
Not sure, but it could be related to radio signal, and even speed limit if you set one. Did you try turning it off through board computer?
@@arcgarage yes i got a speed limit
but just for more as 120km/h
alfa beeps without driving 120
it beeps with 50/60/30 kmh
@@arcgarage today i caught (recorded) that beep on a video.
how can i show it to you?
Is it the same sound when you press on the switches?
Nice and intuitive video. Which bosch spark plugs did you use?
Thanks, not sure about the part number, got them at the local parts store...
hello ..what are the bosch number of those spark plugs ? are they iridium ? thanks
Not sure, it was a while back...
The twin sparks engines are direct injection or Indirect?
They are not directly injected...
Please,how did you know how many Nm you used to tighten the plugs? Or did you just tighten them as tight as they can go?
I want to change the plugs on my 147 but I don't have a torque tool? Should I just tighten them good??? Thank you !!
I think I have listed the tightening torques in the video. I changed a lot of them and I do it by feel...
hi,on the crank bolt its left screw-thread or right ???
I have 1.6 77kw 147 , and I can't allow it.
Which bolt are you thinking of?
@@arcgarage on crankshaft , i allow it now , yes , its left screw :)
hello, what is the reference number of the spark plugs? please
Hi, not sure it was quite a while ago, but your auto parts store should have them...
TPX007
Perfect ! thanks a lot.....
Glad it helped!
