2007 Alfa Romeo 166 check engine light

– Application of enamels with greater
resistance to atmospheric pollutants.
– Adoption of “open” boxed parts to
prevent condensation from triggering cor-
rosion from the inside.
The underbody is treated with the appli-
cation of a special protective material.
If this protective layer requires restora-
tion the exhaust system, lambda probe
and catalytic converter must be left free
of any wax, oil, plastic and/or inflamma-
ble product.
This should therefore be carried out by
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.SPRAY JETS
Make sure that the windscreen and
headlight washer jets deliver a jet of fluid
which is adequate and correctly directed.
If the spray devices are not working
check that the supply circuit is not
blocked. If necessary unclog the nozzles
using a needle.
BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
Alfa Romeo employs manufacturing
technologies which are designed to pro-
tect the bodywork against chemical corro-
sion caused by various factors, for exam-
ple:
– atmospheric pollution.
– Salty air and humidity (coastal areas,
hot-humid climates).
– Road surfaces covered with salt and
de-icing products during the winter.
To further increase resistance against
corrosion the following procedures have
been adopted:
– painting system and paint products
which render the vehicle particularly resis-
tant to corrosion and abrasion.
– Wide use of sheet metal which is ex-
tremely resistant to corrosion.
– Spraying of the underbody, engine
bay, wheel arches and boxed parts with
suitable products which adhere strongly
to the metal parts and have a high pro-
tection capability.
