001-055 Alfa 156 GB - Alfa Romeo serviss

CAR MAINTENANCE
In the case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those of dubious origin.
Alfa 156 uses Tubeless tyres. Never
use an inner tube with these tyres.
If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation
valve
To allow even wear between the front and
rear tyres, it is advisable to change them
over every 10-15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the car
so as to not reverse the direction of rotation
(fig. 26).
272 fig. 26
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from
the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
WARNING
Alloy rim painting involving
temperatures exceeding
150°C should be avoided since
wheel mechanical characteristics
could be impaired.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel supply
rubber hoses are concerned, carefully follow
the Scheduled Maintenance Programme
of this chapter. Indeed ozone, high temperatures
and prolonged lack of fluid in the
system may cause hardening and cracking
of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
