First start in 19 years - abandoned Alfa Romeo 75
In this video, we follow the journey of a neglected Alfa Romeo 75 that has been sitting in a barn for 18 years. I bought the car last year and brought it to yard.
After some tinkering and troubleshooting, the moment of truth arrives I attempt to start the engine. With a few cranks and some patience, the Alfa Romeo 75 roars back to life after nearly two decades of silence.

    My 2012 RVR (outlander in Canada) is rusting from the inside out. It lives in a garage, no salt on roads, very low mileage. They kept pushing off the repair until they could say it's no longer under warranty. They had a recall to spray the undercarriage for rush protection but say it's unrelated to the paint issue (!!??).

      @garagedilettante1128 Месяц назад

    • @studiocalder818
      @studiocalder818 Месяц назад

      When I changed my 1.8 ie for a TS in 2000, I gave it away as a present with the condition that it would be kept on the road and well. He gave me 2 cases of wine, but a few years later he resold it to a former policeman... Fantastic cars; You feel comfortable, connected to the ground, and with an underlying baritone sound.

      Pensa che quando ho sostituito la mia 75 1.8 ie con una TS, piuttosto che venderla ho preferito regalare la vecchia ie su internet, col patto di conservazione, piuttosto che venderla (allora valeva 2 milioni di lire, circa). Ricevetti richieste anche dal Perù; alla fine è andata a Vicenza. Regalata. Era il 2000. Ci sono rimasto un po' male quando, alcuni anni dopo, lui l'ha rivenduta a un ex carabiniere...

    I've had exactly the same issue, and have solved it 100%!! First, you can open the roof up and put some grease into the metal rail and the rubber. It should help the roof to open. Then (and this is the most important part) you have to start the engine (!) (I optionally drove some kilometres) and then perform an initialisation on the roof. 1.) Close the roof completely 2.) Press & hold the closing button for 10-15 seconds, until you notice a slight movement in the roof - then let go of the button 3.) Right away, press the closing button again and hold it until the roof performs a full opening & closing-process. Keep the button pressed for this whole time. If it doesn't work right away, try it again several times (with the engine running!) After that, the roof is working again. 👍🏻
