Alfa Romeo 159 Tuning "159 - a real drivers car." The headlights and front design of this car make it look mean and moody. It rates as one of my favourite Alfas in recent times and with the right mods you can have a stunning performance car on your hands. The 3.2 JTS V6 engine lives up the menacing look and is the tuners choice of engine. I'm thinking of buying a 2007 2.4 JTD 159. How reliable are these beauties? are there any known reliablilty issues? how do they come to age, say 150K+ km? any input appreciated. Eysham Dimensions.

I'm disappointed in mine 2.4 jtdm reliability. 68k miles and is rattling at start + smoking like a steam locomotive. I was buying it with a guy who knows about cars more than me and it was really smooth and trouble free a year ago. Now it's ongoing expensive repair. This is the leftover from the GM tie-up where GM were given the rights to the 1.9 JTD engine and in exchange the Fiat Group received the 1.9 2.2 and Holden V6 petrol engines. A tie-up which the Fiat Group in general and Alfa Romeo in particular regret to this day. if you're looking for a 2.4 get the later 210 version. Yes, that s probably the best way to decide. I was courious about the 2.0 jtdm too, but as i wrote diesel engine does not relly fit my dalily route. I drive less then 10 km per day rn and the 1.75 is probably the only petrol engine worth getting for the 159 as i read in tests. Its quity pricy tho for sure. aAbWF6U.
