Looking for Brera Spider Diesel
Discussion
Hello,
I'm possibly looking to buy a Brera Spider diesel. Does anyone know of a decent one for sale with moderate mileage [up to 60k] for around £9k? We've a 147 JTD Lusso on a 53 plate from new of which has been the best car we've ever had [sit on that Clarkson] and am looking to change. Will sell 147 privately, just looking for correct Brera, Anyone know of such a car?
cheers.

Surely putting a diesel engine in a Brera Spider is a crime against humanity? Did they really do that?
The diesel engine in the brera is a FivePotTurbo..... if that makes a difference to you. loads of info on these cars here:http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-159-brera-and-...
Worth a thorough read of the buyers guide and what to look out for with the diesels...
Does it sound like a tractor though? The last Alfa diesel I heard was a GT coupe, it was horrendous. I get the fact you want an economical, nice looking car, but with the roof down you're going to hear more of it.
I just find the whole idea terrible, as with TT TDI roadsters and 1 series diesel convertibles. It seems even worse with an Italian car.

A few here Mac but only the bottom one is diesel:

Agree on the diesel consumption. Andrea gets about 35 out of a 2.0 159 Sportwagon and that includes a lot of motorway driving.

Yes, you must be right, best I forget the whole idea eh I just find the whole idea terrible, as with TT TDI roadsters and 1 series diesel convertibles. It seems even worse with an Italian car.
Perhaps mail shot every Alfa diesel owner and order them to the scarp yard immediately.

The 2.4 Turbo does not sound like a tractor, yes it is a diesel. But I think i sounds good.I just find the whole idea terrible, as with TT TDI roadsters and 1 series diesel convertibles. It seems even worse with an Italian car.
Different kinds of sound from the engine.
The first one isn't muffled that much

Cheers bloke, I'll have a look. Though not keen on re-maps TBH.
Remapped cars, if done proberly, are better than stock i allmost anyway. And a 250 hp map doesn't sound like pushing the engine.And if it has an EGR delete, that will save you a lot of headache, since that is where the most errors on the 2.4 comes from.
