Common Problems: ALFA ROMEO 159
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Subframe Corrosion(Serious)
The front subframes were poorly protected from the factory and are prone to severe rusting in the UK climate. Replacing one is expensive due to parts and labor.
- M32 Gearbox Bearing Failure(Serious)
The M32 6-speed gearbox used in 1.9 diesels and 2.2 petrols has weak bearings that fail over time, especially if the oil is not changed.
- Power Steering Rack Failure(Serious)
Early cars used red steering fluid which damaged the rack seals. Many have been converted to green fluid, but the damage may already be done.
- Stretched Timing Chain (JTS Engines)(Moderate)
The 1.9 and 2.2 JTS petrol engines can suffer from stretched timing chains, often caused by long oil change intervals.
