You are definitely the most awesome alfa romeo reviewer with the decent quality video!! (Also the crazy sense of humour too 🤣🤣🤣) I cant wait for the next video!! . . . . . Shall we lock Chris inside of the 159 so that he can only work on the video for us? XD

159 most beautiful car on earth

I want more of this 159 videos, especially the sportwagon its just great!

After 5 years owning one, I knew just half of them. Thanks for the tips!! Great work!

I had a 159 TBI TI, was a wonderful car. I own my dream car now but still miss my beautiful Alfa.

The 159 Sportwagon TBi is incredible ❤️

Hack #5 is useful when it's at the dealership and we can't start the engine but need the steering unlocked to push it into the shop. Most cars have a safety release hidden underneath the centre console, or behind the column trim, so it's kinda useful to have one that's easier to get to for when your Alfa breaks down

Alfa-Romeo is my favorite car brand 😍.

just bought one few days ago 2.0 (170hp) with a remap. previous owner took a good care of her main stuff was done so i can only refuel and drive. It's an awesome car and thanks for the tricks!

My first car, got it 2 weeks ago😁

My 159 has the window up on remote key. Very practical. Great car by the way-simply underrated! It also doesnt beep when opening or closing and is incredibly reliable . Much more economic to operate and maintain then the bmw, audi ,merc gang...Alfa made the perfect choice to change the suppliers policy to deliver proper products. Now its only Bosch that needs to get up to standard . The new gen Giulia, Tonale and Stelvio are technically top notch...difficult to find better.... and the Tonale has a great design and styling!

Thanks for this, just bought one so I'm looking forward to trying these tricks out

Oh man your're my hero. I've been wondering for so long how I can close all windows at once. I didn't know that trick with a key. Thanks a lot!

Wow, I didn't know any of these. I'm going to try them out right now. Excellent!

My 159 does close all 4 windows when I hold the lock button on the remote, it also makes no beep when locking or unlocking. Never knew that wasn't normal. I have a 1.9jtdm remapped to 190hp, it's a joy to drive.

I owned a 159, was the most beautiful car I drove. Still to this day, I am filled with regret whenever one passes nearby...

I don't know how people can own a car for more than a day and not sit in the driver's seat and read the handbook from cover to cover on the driveway. Maybe it's just me... Must admit though I didn't know you could push the armrest forwards, or the night mode feature. Must've missed those pages...

My 159 is 2010, i am almost 4 year owner and closing the windows were biggest secret for me, i thought its impossible, thank you for hacks :)

Wow this blows ma head! I don't even know my car can do this things. Thanks alot dude

Super hacks Chris. Was thinking lf getting the 2.2 JTS and seeing your real world reviews and hacks, would definitely buying one. Thanks again mate

Early cars like mine also close the windows on the remote. The one I hadn't realised was the one with the steering lock. That one I guess is for maintenance. Very handy if you're working on the steering for example.

Given Alfa Romeos track record on electrics all this "wizardry" does scare me a bit

Odličan video. Posedujem 159ku već 4 godine a znao sam samo za 3 od 8 stavki sa spiska...hvala.

Nice one Chris, I'll try some of your 159 hacks on my 147. Got a feeling some of these will apply. Look forward to your next vid. Many thanks 👌

😂😂😂👍 loved the ninja moves,be careful you dont do your back in Chris🤣🤣

I really Love your videos, thanks to you now i can drink a very cold ice tea in my 159 😉greetings from Spain!

Cool video! Would it be possible to do one for the 156? Or are the functions too similar? Thanks!

6,000 subscribers today - WooHoo!

I did found that out yesterday!!! A Wasp was near my Car and I just tryed it with the Remote 😂 and surprise! IT WORKED 🤣🤣 And yes I'm scared of wasps You just earned an subscriber

Brilliant Chris! I'll definitely be using the follow me home feature👍 Though not all 159s have the sliding arm rest. My old Lusso did but my Ti doesnt.

Love your video! Awesome channel! I'm an Alfista, from Italy.

you should be famous, you make people happy !!! thanks for this moment

I've got a 159 2.2 JTS...Gonna try those today!!!

Great stuff!👍..just got my first 159..a 1750 TI and I'm in love...no really..I'm in love..best car I've ever had!👌...it's my fifth Alfa..two 156..one 147 and one Mito Turbo...but this one...OMG...😍...the speed and the comfort...I'l stick to this one for sure...and the looks...💃💃..Keep up the good work man!👍

Love your videos - keep it up!

I bought my first Alfa Romeo today and I can't work out why I waited 56 years but your channel is really cool 😎

10 years of ownership and you have cured the dreaded window drop And who knew the armrest slid 😂

Enjoyed this one a lot! I didn’t know about the silent unlock hack, I can’t wait to try this one. I got caught out with the windows not going up with the keyfob, it was the middle of summer and I had just found out about the window drop feature, got back home, walked up to the door and held down lock thinking I was cool... nothing.. had an embarrassing walk back to the car to put them up 😂

Brilliant video, going to try the window thing and the follow me home thing :)

I wonder if my 156SW is equipped with similar? Will try tomorrow!

Incredible! Yesterday I thought my dashboard lighting was failing. I was very depressed until the lighting worked again when I restarted. Loose contact ?? No, today I'm watching your video and have to laugh out loud. A hidden ALFA function led me astray. Thank you, thank you, thank you,.... ... and who knows the other hacks ...after over 10 years of ownership, unbelievable......

Mine closes all windows when i long-press the lock button.

hey Alfa Nut, Im thinking of buying a 156 v6, but I was told they cram the v6 in so tight that timing belt changes are extremely expensive , can you do a review of the 156 V6 running and maintenance costs

Very good video; i remember in my 156 you can not open the doors stayng inside only if childrens safety notches were engaged; I do not know if the system is the same in 159.

So wish we got the 159 in the States. Love my Giulia but would have loved to have had one of these.

can you do one on the 147? its my first car and would be great to know more about it

Thanks for the tips!!! Awesome!!!

My UK 2007 159 lowers all the windows if you keep the unlock button depressed but does not unlock the doors until you do a single unlock press. It also puts all the windows back up if you hold the lock button.

Excellent video Chris!!, I only knew 2 of those hacks, thanks man!! I subbed up

First of all thank you for your videos - You have won me over to a point where I seem to have fallen in love with the Alfa's :D I know it's not the purpose of this video (!question time!) but I'm now looking at (maybe) buying one for the purpose of daily usage, a bit of (spirited) sunday driving and occasionally hauling a very leightweight racecar around on a trailer. So since the 156 and 159 more or less crosses price points where I live, I'm wondering which to buy between the 156 2.0 JTS or the 159 2.2 JTS? The 159 has more power and build more modern but also heavier.. What would you (Alfa Nut and everyone else) choose? Reliability weighs in my decision as well as sportyness - Since most trips are rather short fuel economy is mostly what it is (ofc, better is better.. But yeah) :)

I really enjoy your films, good job!

ty man, do it more videos for 159

Hi, just a random question, I used to love my 156 Sportwagon, do you think a 159 SW 1750 tbi would be worth buying, it now being 10-11 years old?

Is it possible that on my Alfa 159 sw 2010. armrest can’t move? I’m trying to push, nothing happens so i’m afraid that it can brake if i push more

Amazing video welldone i own 159 2.4 jtdm 2006 it has 242000km and it runs like a new ,my first car and i love it my target car is Giulia after 5 years ,,maybe.....

I didnt know the window hack, i like it and have found it useful.

Great video! Do you know if all or some of this hacks also apply for the Brera?

Hey Mate, looking at a 159 wagon in the TI trim with the 5cyl 2.4 Are these cars reliable still? Worth the buy, despite the age?

Mate, I have that car for 8 bloody years, and I knew just 3 of those! :D Thak you!

Love your videos and your choice of car, as well as watch! Seamaster SMP. Subbed.

I will test few of these tomorrow... :)

Well done mate! Alfa Romeo forever!

Yeah! My 159 is special, I can get the windows down and up on the remote (health and safety be damned!). I'll try and remember the follow me light trick though, could be useful at some point (possibly)

Your YT job is great! Greetings from Poland!

Very enjoyable video, congrats! Almost all Hacks work for the Brera too :) Although in my country holding the lock button you get the windows up as well

Love it, thanks alot for this!✊🏽😂❤

There's another hidden feature and I thought you were going to demonstrate as you had your hands in it 😅 The arm rest lid, actually opens up in two, making this way a secret compartment. They have a magnet to keep it closed. Great vid nonetheless, keep it up!

Have a 159 question , Diesel wagon version 170xxx in good condition , are these reliable ? Would you drive one these long distances 70,000 per year ?

After 4 years of owning 159 I learned few new things!

Great video! we have just bought159 RED .but this one is auto.and the gear knob depresser on front of knob is broken. do you know how to replace it with out my big stilson whrench getting involved. Thanks

Great as always! my boot in SW opens only with the key. the button on the roof top does not work.change boot on control panel doesn't change anything.Any idea ?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot. Gonna try this on my shiny new Brera.

Thanks for the share and would appreciate it if you share mechanic hacks, all Alfa clubs talks about swirl flaps, EGR and one other sensor cancelation and remap, but no in-depth info regarding the how to or what is the effect on the car except the HP and engine life increase claims. What you say?

Hi Alfa Nut , you are best! I'm in love with my 159 SW about 7 years and i didn't know the hack about the car Windows. Also if i don't understand well all what you say (i know english language not very well) but you are very helpful. Compliments and Many thanks! .... Mandatory is sign-up of course... :)

In fact, I knew about all this, but I still could not cope with one problem. How to reset the service interval on ponel? I read somewhere that you need to press the clutch and brake pedal several times with the car turned off, but I'm not sure that this applies to the 159 model. Somehow I tried to do this and after that milage started flashing

My remote stopped working in the middle of Vienna in the pouring rain. I thought this is crazy how the hell am I supposed to open the car. Luckily after 10 minutes of repeatedly pressing the button it suddenly unlocked. I could not remember receiving any keys when I bought the car and carried on thinking how dumb it was not to have keys. Thanks to not one of your tips you just showed me where the 'hidden' key is :-) Thank you very much! Enjoy your content a lot.

I have Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 Twin spark 2001 and I get a weird beep sound from the radio while driving how can I fix this ?

The dash light out feature would be useful for me driving interstate in outback Australia, as I usually set the cruise control and throw a towel over the dash, so that the lights don't burn my eyes and give you better vision of the outside.

Hi i search for my 159 Brera TI english seat where i can find thèm in really good like new quality ??

Im thinking on buying one 159 but i prefer the petrole engines. 2.2 jts sounds good with 185 bhp but it seems so slow because of the heavy chassis. 1.75tb is rare at us. Any1 owning 2.2 jts any thoughts? How agile is that in the daily drives?

Hack N0.9....You can open the boot by pulling on the wee wire,front N/S of the rear seat....great for when the battery is removed!

Hi i have one question ! Can we close the windows with the remote ?

I am a 159 sw owner ,and i am still thinking, how come i didn't found you're channel earlier Xd ,love you're videos !

When I bought my 159SW the car was set on autolock with key, I forgot something in the bikeshed and closed the door with running engine. The car locked me out with the housekey also in the car. My neighbour was home and has a spare housekey, so I could unlock the car with the spare key. I've set all these futures off in the board computer, if something like this happens when youre not in the neighbourhood of the spare key you have a real problem.

When you park in a dark alley, how to turn on signal/park lights on one side of a car???

Brilliant !! Chris this was great ! SUB!

What do you think about the 159 3.2 v6 q4? What's nice and what's not so good about this series?

Fantastic video’s, you’ve got. Can you make some for a Giulietta? Preferably a 1.4 ma 170bhp 2010ish model😃

Very good info Chris

Really interesting video, I myself ignored some of these hacks, being an 159 owner since 2006🤗...e.g.,.the four windows simoultaneous down and up...by the way, here's my Alfa spider outside, waiting for spring to come...and you can see my 159 as well, very dirty 😐

Do you know a hack for removing tha hazardwarning when braking? Could really use it.

6:18 my 159 won't beep when unlocked anyway, even without the trick. Is this the case with everyone?

Can you do a review/ride of the 80s gtv6 (my Alfa!) 😍

Love this channel and each new issue... I rock a Stelvio TI Sport in the Midwestern US (aka the ‘flyover states’) and it gets pretty lonely for Alfisti...but we still know how to find each other and party: Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC for short!) Then again, that’s EXACTLY why I bought her...and she has proven absolutely brilliant in any weather! (Damn shame for all the sheep that buy German SUV’s or American Bro-Dozers...they’re missing out!) More for me..haha! Love my Stelvio to bits!! PS: I also own a 1976 Series 2 Spider Veloce in my perfect spec; working on my dream Alfa Garage! Plus...spending 12 days in May 2020 in Italy with AROC doing 5-Star car-related things like true hedonists!!

The windows also close from the remote control. First lock the car from the remote control and then press the button again and hold it until the windows close.

Interesting that the platform was initially co developed with saab and it has some saab like features like the dimming dash etc..

Just got a 07 2.4 jtdm 159 Russo red had plenty of alfas over the years but this one is about the best only gripe is the drivers side front suspension its acquired a horrible squeak any ideas .

Is there any way you can reset the oil-service light by yourself or do I have to go to a workshop? I'm doing the service on my cars myself and that damn "Time to change engine oil" message have been bugging me for 4-5 years now 😝

You’re a Nut, you’re a nut. You grew on a tree then fell on the ground. People are always kicking you around. One day someone stepped on you. That is why you cracked in to. You’re a Nut. You’re a Alfa Nut ! Well done.
