With Cam Caps loosened, FIRST loosen timing chain tensioner, press it in to loosen tension, Crank using ratchet to TDC (Top Dead Center on crank pully, (to keep from damage to pistons), align Exhaust Cam Timing Mark to mark on #1 Exhaust cam cover, then take up slack between Exhaust & Intake Cams (on top between the cams), Then align the Intake Cam to mark on #1 Cam Cap, "Now" loosen the 17mm bolt to tighten timing chain, rotate engine using rachet two times, reset TDC at the crank, and look at "Cam Timing Marks on both the Exhaust, and Intake Cams. If you did all this correctly the "Timing Marks" should be lined up so TDC,Exhaust, and Intake marks are all the same.

SOURCE: alfa romeo 147 flashing dasboard

This is so you can set it, just set or reset the time on the clock and it will stop flashing, same thing with the km,move from km to miles and back, if you want km then set to km but if you want miles then go to miles but you must select through it, good day.

Is there chain on alfa 156 2.0 liter?

If you are talking about a timing chain I think the answer could be no. I have a 2003 Spider 2L JTS which is the same engine as the 2003 156. Before that they had the 2L Twinspark and both have timing belts which need to be replace regularly along with the pulleys and idlers. Much earlier twinspark engines have a timing chain. Have a look at www.Alfa 156.net. Cheers. Brian.

I am importing a 1982 Alfa Romeo Spider from USA to here in France. USA speedo obviously in MPH I need to change the face to KPH Any ideas ?

Go on line and find a used Spider speedo USA or UK and change the whole assembly. It's easier to change than taking apart the speedo. Also there are some new ones on the net too.

Replacing a 1979 alfa romeo spider's side window

Replacing the glass is easy, finding the glass is the hard part. Did you have to break in? Or did somebody else do that? Do you have the glass? I think a body shop would charge about $100 for the job. Maybe more. But it is a simple job. The glass, will be that much. Hope this helps.

I have a 2001 Alfa Romeo Spider. After running

There is a fine mesh screen sock on the pickup tube in the gas tank, replace that. It will collapse and starve the fuel pump, but not all the time.
