AlfaRomeo Spider 1750 TBi car review from the AA. Overall car review rating: 6 out 10. Value for money: 6 out 10. Our verdict on the Alfa Romeo Spider 1750 TBi. The breathtaking exterior styling of the Alfa Romeo Spider continues to speak to the heart where the mind might otherwise be concerned with quality issues. Despite its flaws, the Ihave a 159 with the 1750 TBi engine, but I have two problems with it. 1) Look on this video: 1750 TBi - YouTube. When I start my Alfa in the morning, it starts up nicely, but after several seconds, the engine speed drops significantly or eventualy stops completely. After I start it again, there is no problem and the engine is running without Thereis no "THE" TBi engine, there are slightly different variants for the different platforms (Giulietta, 159/Brera/Spider, 4C, Lancia Delta). The only manual I have, concerns the TBi engine in the 4C: Alfa_Romeo_TBI_10_ENGINE.pdf. I found this file some time ago and don't remember where, but as of today, it seems it has disappeared Ireplaced the entire clutch kit last year with an original oem clutch kit from alfa romeo dealership. Theres just over 10000km on this clutch. Theres no problem with the 1st and 2nd gear. Theres no leaks and the flywheel was skimmed and the fluid levels are all good. Theres also no shudder on any gear. Besides this the car is an absolute dream.

In order to replace the cam belt you need to first remove the right hand front wheel, to do this carefully jack up the car to a reasonable height and make sure it is safe using axle stands if required, we have the luxury of a ramp. Next remove the wheel arch inner cover and the undertray. 4EX1.
