    Yes the Jtd is bulletproof, but alternator bearing is common issue on every model, dmf and clutch are easy to go on the jtd because it pulls really well and they are usually driven by young people which dont know how to drive, other things are on point very good review

    Thank you, really helped me a lot as a first Alfa owner. As much bad things they say about it, as much i like this car. Precise, comfy, sporty and looks nice.

    I gave my Alfa 1.6 147 a second chance. Previous owner wanted to drive till it stopped working. But she just didn't planned to go down that easily so he just sold her. After that i bought her and after some part replacements and other maintenance i have a nice beefy beauty in return. I hope driving it for many more years.

    Common issues: Beware of the timing belt, oil consumption, electric windows driver command. Suspension silent blocks (old mattress sound) and I think that's it. 147 1.6 TS daily driver.

    Very nice video. But I do have some questions.
    When do you recommend to change the oil and oil filter?
    My Alfa 147 105hp has done 143.000 km the clutch however is a little bit on the high side.I dont have issues when I test the clutch and put my car in 5th gear at 70km/h and go full on the throttle.
    How many km is it normal to replace the clutch? Is it normal that the clutch is a little bit higher?

    • @arcgarage
      @arcgarage  3 года назад +1

      Thanks, I replace oil on all of my cars regardless of the make every 5-6000km. When it comes to clutch, that heavily depends on the driving. My Alfa is a bit higher in kms than yours and there is no sign of clutch going bad...

      Which tyres do you recommend for 215/45 R 17 for a 147? I have Pirelli P7 Cinturato now and they are pretty comfortable and they have nice grip but I was wondering what you recommend:)

    Hello, it's a late comment since you posted this video but hope you can help. I had problems with my driver's side window switch (windows would only work now and again), so bought a new one but now both windows at the front don't work at all. When I press the button I can hear a tick, so the connection seems ok. I know it needs a proxy alignment but when I get that done will the windows work after that?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    • @arcgarage
      @arcgarage  2 года назад

      Make sure that the switch has the same part number, also you have to check to see if the motor and mechanism are ok...

    • @ReveriKeenani
      @ReveriKeenani 2 месяца назад

      Actual issue what caused the stutter was that previous owner had some reason ripped those sound insulating, or what ever they do there, fabric panels so they covered the intake pipe completely xD, I didn't even know that pipe was there under the fabric in that place, until one friend just happened to look at it and wondered why they are loose anyway. So it wasn't the MAF sensor this time.
