Engine Rebuilds / Repairs

We can carry out complete engine rebuilds for all Alfa Romeo engines; from the classic NORD engines all the way through to their latest engines.

Engine rebuilds do vary from engine to engine dependent on the current state of your existing engine as well as the severity of the failure whether it is a timing belt failure, hydro-locked engine or simply just a refresh so please get in touch with your requirements.

Below are fixed prices for timing belt failures for Twin Spark and JTD engine – any questions please let us know.

 

CAMBELT FAILURES

PRICES (VAT INCLUSIVE)

    1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 Twin Spark - £850

    1.9 16V JTD / JTDm - £850

TWIN SPARK

The cambelt interval on these engines is 3 years or 36k miles whichever comes sooner, this is often overlooked and we see many of these engines suffering this failure. Very often these engines are repaired "on the cheap" and 500 – 1,000 miles following the repair suffer a big end bearing failure. We always renew the big end bearings to prevent this happening.

We will strip and re-build the engine in situ using the following new parts:

    Cambelt

    Tensioner

    Idler pulley

    Reconditioned cylinder head

    Head gasket set

    Balance shaft belt (2.0 only)

    Big end bearings

    Oil and filter change

This failure can easily be avoided by changing your cam belt on time.

JTD & JTDM

It is becoming apparent that the 147, 156, 159 and GT diesel engines are starting to suffer water pump failures which are causing the cambelts to fail prematurely on these cars. If you have full service history you may have a good chance of compensation from Alfa Romeo UK. If they are not willing to help you or you don't have a full service history we offer the following service.

We will strip and re-build, using the following new parts:

 

    Cambelt

    Tensioner

    Idler pulley

    Water pump

    Cam carrier gasket

    4 x Injector seals

    16 x Rockers

    Oil and filter change

 

The good news is that this is the only common engine fault we see with this engine, very reliable as a whole. Rarely see other problems and this can easily be avoided by bringing the belt change forward.
