Hello guys! If noises are something that make your head go crazy, I know how to help you! In this video there are solutions for suspension noise, interior doors and much more! This information can and should then be applied to all makes and models and to other areas of the car! For the dismantling of the door linings, there is a video below in the description that will also serve as a solution for water ingress into the car. Something very common in these and other brands of cars with metal covers inside the doors, BMW, VW for example.

Great video! Explicit tips like these are what we need as Alfa owners! 👏I have a complete brand new suspension on my Alfa 147. Everything! Yet I still have a sort of clonking noise in the rear while driving over bumps that cause vibration. It sounds like some heavy piece would jump around in the boot. I have done the whole suspension work myself so I know for sure that every bolt is torqued to spec and quality parts were used. It drives me crazy because I just can't identify what it is. It also doesn't sound like rubber or squeaking. A bit like shock absorbers that are completely dead. They are also brand new and work perfectly fine. Anyone else? 🤨

hey! Great video. I can hear in both B pillars a noise which if I'm correct comes not from the inside of them. it must be the doors When the road is bumpy i can hear that sound. if I open the door while moving it stops. it must be the vibrations somewhere between the doors and the b pillar. any ideas? thanks again! its an alfa 159

@alfaromeonoproblem 5 ай бұрын

Hello. Never seen that on 159, but I've seen it on some other cars. Door Locks are the issue. Make sure the door latch is tight and the pillar itself is not cracked. Try also to adjust the door a bit in too.

Sorry to ask again about Sandero I, but the remote locking/unlocking has started to sometimes not work. I checked the battery, it measured 3V with no load (which does not nesseserely mean it is good, but it is not low at least), and cleaned the contacts in the key. What is usually the problem here? BTW, since there is no Alfa which I would like for sаlе here, I think that I will go and take a look at one 159 2.2 JTS 2010. It has been in the аds for a few months already, probably because of the pricе (5.600). The color is light metalic gray, the worst possible color for this car. The most boring color. It makes the car not noticable on the road. But there is nothing elese available...

Hey, sometimes when going over some bumps I hear some clunk. I have noticed when driving fast in long right bends, that I feel on the steering wheel that something is crunching on the front left wheel. The steering wheel is not shaking or mooving left-right, but I still feel distand crunching through it. I mean, it feels like it is not on the steering wheel itself, bur far away. Is that usualy a track rod end, or the lower or upper arm, or stabiliser link, or what? It is very hot this week, and I don't even have time (due to furnisnihg the appartment with kitchen and so on), so I will only be able to jack up the car and check it maybe in a few weeks. And I want to have the new parts at hand when I do so. And if it is not that part, I will leave it as a spare for the future.

@@alfaromeonoproblem I jacked up the car and checked for play on the wheel (side to side and top to bottom). I did not feel or heard any play. The top arm I tried moving side to side with a crowbar and it did not move (only little, as much as the rubber would allow). On the bottom arm I was only able to access the rear bushing. It looks a bit cracked on the top, and there is a mark on the metal where the side (middle) rubber part of the bushing was touching. But I did not know how to check for play on that. Also, I checked the rear wheels for bearing noise, but I think it is the brakes. The right one spins freely but the left one stops when I turn it and let go. The brakes are binding on that side. I hope it is the slider pins, not the piston that is binding. Or the pad, because the brake "hardware" is old. The discs are worn to "zero", the pads look new. The hand brake is equally released on both calipers.
