Alfa Romeo 145/146. Opinion mechanics




Alfa Romeo 145/146 cars, quite fastidious in maintenance and repair. They require special tools and skilled technicians. However, the cost of maintaining the "Alpha" is not sky-high ...
Inspection priglyanuvshegosya instance, as always, we begin with the body. Special problems with it not. Is that the choice of the most old cars 1995-1996, it is useful to draw attention to the wheel arches: sometimes flying from the wheels of mud and stones, like sandpaper, clean them down to the bare metal. But even in this case, the rust on them comes through, the body is strong enough plating. A threshold are protected from such damage plastic.
On the Alfa Romeo 145/146 to 1997 were placed boxer engine of 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 liters. The first two have two valves per cylinder and 1.7-liter four. By the way, "Alpha" with this engine are most often found in the secondary market.
Regardless of the number of valves motors are very reliable and any specific disease are not affected. The main thing when buying not rely on the seller's word and run "on the safe side" immediately replace the timing belt. They are in the "opposites" two, one for each block. In the Russian context is usually enough for both of 60.000 km. Update belts cost about $ 250-300, as this will remove the radiator. But in case of a timing belt repair expenses can pull the heads for $ 1800.
"Sport" boxer engine exhaust sound caresses the ear of some motorists, but others may be too noisy. Exhaust manifold for these engines is not, the exhaust gases are emitted through a thin-walled tubes like motorcycle. During the test drive listen, would not you annoy an increased noise level.
On cars under 1997 in the usual four-cylinder engine in a row. These "shestnadtsatiklapanniki" had two spark plugs per cylinder. The system was called the Twin Spark. Advanced to design engines require high-quality service. For example, they have no marks on the pulleys, crankshafts and camshafts. And so a simple operation to replace the timing belt is impossible without special tools who have only the SRT, which specialize in Alfa Romeo. strap himself in our situation should be replaced every 40,000 km (three times less than in Europe). The reason for that - dust and dirt from the accelerating deterioration of driving gears. Replacing the timing belt with rollers pulls at $ 500.
All motors Twin Spark series since 1998, supplied with variable valve timing system, intake valves. If it's junk, then the engine is running with the rigidity of the diesel engine. To replace the variator phase will have to pay about $ 360 (item costs $ 210 + work).
A single item of expenditure spark plugs with platinum electrodes ($ 20). They are in four-cylinder Twin Spark eight pieces, each pair consists of a different size candles: one standard and one with a small diameter (thread M10x1, 25). The manufacturer is not allowed to use ordinary candles, and the company kept on our gasoline 40.000-50.000 km.
To the transmission of claims not yet there, they work long and reliably. Clutch mechanism wears out after a median 100.000-120.000 km. Replacing the (drive, basket and Release Bearing) will cost about $ 400.
Fully independent suspension provides Alfa Romeo 145/146 excellent handling, but will have to pay for her frequent visits to the service. About once a year, or every 20.000-40.000 km, the chassis will require complex repairs. Need to change the front lever assembly with ball and two silent blocks. However, it is necessary part of just about $ 80 plus $ 16 job.
Similar runs are deteriorating and the upper support pillars ($ 70-75), but still stands front stabilizer bar. Last fastened directly to the levers, so they must be updated with them. It will cost about $ 150. But the bush is almost timeless in the most old cars are still "home."
Keep in mind that all these faults do not show themselves almost suspicious knock at the depths of the suspension. The need for a visit to the service hints driver misbehavior car that becomes a "loosening" and worse managed.
