My Giulietta is a converted LPG one. I always use LPG. Just makes financial sense. Also cleaner than both Petrol and Diesel. More power too when using TURBO. Well done on repair
Yes, more pover due to higher octane rating of the LPG, where ECU can raise the turbo pressure. But the problem remains, LPG does not provide cooling effect of the petrol, and also combusts at 30% higher temperarure. Not good in the long run, especially with a lot of sporty driving.
@@DashCamSerbia ok. However I have been running LPG the last 25 years. Last car 480,000 KM and current car on 330,000 KM. Previous cars all went well too. I do not see any issue once car is serviced correctly. I benefit from almost 50% savings.
Here in the UK alternative fuels have never really been popular, although LPG has been available for 30 years as an aftermarket fitment for the likes of old petrol Range Rovers and Mercedes MLs but not direct from the vehicle manufacturer.
Hi Bruno, in my 147 jtdm 8v with DPF (2010) if I use the EGR plate with the three holes, i have error P0401 insufficient egr flow. Now, i swapped my old EGR with new Marelli one because it was too dirty and hard to move, i have no error using the "normal" open gasket but when i try the plate with the small holes it gives error (only on diagnostic, no engine light right now). In EPER i see with my VIN the plate 55226183 with the three holes, but maybe i need slightly larger holes? I really like using it because it reduces fuel consumption, better turbo response, less soot in intake and it gets rid of the "sawing" at around 2000rpm and light accelerator pedal. Any suggestion?

How can I check for play on the rear shock mount on 159? My rear right is rotten, and I hear a clunk on that side.

ECU is EDC16C39 CF4 like the later alfa 159s, not many 147s had this in my understanding
I thought 1.4 uses port injection.
And it is
@alfaromeonoproblem But they look like GDI injectors.
@DashCamSerbia yes, very similar. But it's not
