Quick Qu - Alfa 156 1.9jtd bonnet....

[Tim-D]

Ladies & Gents -
Now this may seem daft but safe rather than sorry.....I've just been bequeathed a 2003 (pre facelift) 156 sportwagon 1.9jtd 8v, car has rdiculously low miles, full dealer s/h and is superb condition bar one fly in the ointment - bonnet catch failure on the motorway - end result car has a mismatched bonnet (if anyone has a replacement in "metallico blu" please let me know).......

Bonnet currently fitted has no sound deadening under it, the only other 156 I've the opportunity to squint at is a T spark - that does.........is this just a lazy replacement or should diesels not have deadening fitted for some reason??????

I'd think diesels are more likely to have sound deadening fitted rather than the other way round.

[Tim-D]

That what I thought - farm equipment should have deadening for the civilised..... knew it was a daft qu - just thought worth checking - thx!

Yeah, it should have sound deadening fitted.

Yep.

My '03 1.9JTD 8V Sportwagon (interior facelift) has an under bonnet sound deadener.
It clips on with a million plastic buttons.
There is also a flat rubber weather strip at the front.

Fantastic car, can't kill it or think of anything (alfa) to replace it with
