Glenn's Alfa Romeo Repair and Tune-up Guide

This is a comprehensive repair and tune-up manual for Alfa Romeo products.

It is for the car owner interested in making repairs to save money, for the professional mechanic employed exclusively in servicing this company’s products, and for the sportscar enthusiast who wants to squeeze that extra ounce of performance from the engine.

This Guide is organized around the familiar units of the automobile: the engine, fuel system, electrical system, and running gear. The first chapter deals with conventional troubleshooting, without specialized equipment, to enable you to isolate the trouble before beginning any disassembly. It will help you to pinpoint the trouble so that you will know what to look for as you disassemble the unit. Therefore, it will save time when making repairs.

This Guide contains comprehensive tables and specifications, wiring diagrams, and exploded views of most of the mechanical and electrical units used on ALFA ROMEO cars.

    Covers:
  • All Alfa Romeo Giulieta
  • Early Giulia
