ANY FUEL (petrol, diesel, gas), by going through 10 magnetic fields of THESE ACTIVATORS, for a short time changes its structure and properties, and it BURNS more fully and REGULARLY.
Due to this, the Alfa Romeo engine begins to work much BETTER.

Usually, it is already seen after 10-20 km of run of the car Alfa Romeo which has an installed Activator.

Imagine, how your Alfa Romeo engine works with VERY GOOD FUEL
That is, we have quite different (better) fuel.

car fuel economy

Activators installed on Alfa Romeo reduce the density and viscosity of fuel:

1. This leads to the formation of smaller fuel particles, ensures good atomization and combustion in the cylinders of the Alfa Romeo engine.
2. The fuel ignites better and burns smoothly, ensuring soft and smokeless operation of the Alfa Romeo engine.
3. Reduces deposits on injectors and carbon deposits on candles and Alfa Romeo cylinders.
4. Reduces the load on the operation of Alfa Romeo fuel supply systems.
5. Increases reliability and increases the life of Alfa Romeo fuel equipment.

All this leads to improved conditions for fuel combustion in Alfa Romeo cylinders.

    FUEL with Activators burns more completely in the Alfa Romeo engine, does not leave carbon deposits on pistons, cylinders and spark plugs.

     On Alfa Romeo diesel cars, the injectors are not polluted, and there is no black smoke even at throttling at free running.

FUEL with Activators

Knowing where the fuel hoses are located, Activators at Alfa Romeo are installed within 5 minutes (see «INSTALLATION»)

     ATTENTION! The main difference of THESE ACTIVATORS is that there are 20 magnets placed in them, which for a short time CHANGE THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF FUEL.    In other similar Aktivators which can be used on Alfa Romeo, there are only 2 powerful magnets which are not able to change anything in the fuel (see «ANALOGUES» ).

When you don’t like the Aktivators, then with no doubt you can return them back within 37 days (read «RETURN»).

External style Alfa Romeo

The 156th was developed at the Alfa Romeo Style Center under the supervision of chief designer Walter de Silva[20]. The distinctive style of the model is highly curved wings, retro-style front door handles, hidden rear door handles, very deep radiator grilles, as well as a wide profile of the model. All this has made this car the most beautiful in its class. The 156th was one of the first sedans with hidden rear door handles and visible front ones, which gave the model the look of a coupe. The design of the model was influenced by three historical Alfa Romeo cars: 1900, Giulietta and Giulia[21]. The 156th achieved an aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.31[1].

The salon Alfa Romeo after the first facelift (2002)

In 1998, the original interior was built on the tested interior from Alfa Romeo, previously installed on Alfa Romeo 166. But it had differences in the form of deep wells on the instrument panel and a simple center console[22]. All the main controls and indicators are positioned at an angle to the driver in the typical Italian sports car racing style, although this is inconvenient for passengers who want to look at the clock located on the central tunnel. Despite the fact that this is a family car, the interior design is not equipped with cup holders, which are usually available as standard on sedans in this segment[23]. As a rule, for a small executive car there is quite a lot of driver’s and front passenger’s space to drive comfortably in comfortable Alfa seats. The space on the back sofa is limited to two people and may seem cramped for passengers in the back. The 156th is a car for four people, although by default there was a waist belt for the average passenger in the back row, and as an option, the Alfa Romeo 156 was equipped with a central rear-row headrest with a full—fledged seat belt.

Platform and suspension Alfa Romeo

The 156th uses a platform derived from the Alfa Romeo 155, which in turn was derived from the Fiat Group «Tipo» model platform. However, the 156th platform is quite different from the original Tipo and is considered a new platform[24][25]. The 156th is a high-tech front-wheel drive model; (The Cross/Sportwagon Q4 was equipped with all—wheel drive, and was also available for left-hand drive markets). The front suspension was equipped with double wishbones of different lengths (while the upper aluminum lever was deployed in the direction of movement) and a shock-absorbing strut of the McPherson type. The rear suspension also used a McPherson type shock absorber strut[1], two pairs of transverse rods of different lengths, two longitudinal levers with oil-filled silent blocks and a stability stabilizer. This structure means that the rear wheels have a tiny passive steering ability in turns, which reduced the likelihood of skidding[18]. The suspension design allowed the car to demonstrate good smoothness and excellent handling. The weight of the car has been reduced by using aluminum in some parts of the front and rear suspension. Lightweight materials have also been used in many other parts of the car, such as magnesium in the front seats[26].

Engines Alfa Romeo

The 156th was equipped with various engines of different capacities during the period of its production. There were both four- and six-cylinder gasoline engines, as well as four- and five-cylinder diesel engines. All of them were produced in Pratola Serra with the exception of the V6, which was produced at the Alfa Romeo factory in Ares[1][27][28][29][30]. The 1.9-liter JTD diesel was the first diesel with a battery-powered fuel system installed on a passenger station wagon[31].

Fuel consumption Alfa Romeo 156

There is no car enthusiast who would not care about the fuel consumption of his car. A psychologically important mark is the value of 10 liters per hundred. If the consumption is less than ten liters, then this is considered good, and if higher, it requires an explanation. In the last few years, fuel consumption of about 6 liters per 100 km is considered optimal from the point of view of economy.

The fuel consumption of Alfa Romeo 156 ranges from 5.8 to 12.3 liters per 100 km.
Alfa Romeo 156 is available with the following types of fuel: Gasoline, Diesel fuel.

17 real tips on how to reduce Alfa Romeo fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption is one of the biggest items of expenditure for motorists, which takes a tidy sum from the budget every month. Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption depends on a variety of components. We cannot influence some of them in any way (for example, engine power). Therefore, it is worth first finding out what Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption is standard for a particular make and model, so that there will be no surprises later.. The other part of the components, with a competent approach, can significantly reduce Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption, and therefore reduce the cost of operating the car.

1. Smooth acceleration reduces Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

According to experts, up to 60% of Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption depends on the driver, or rather on his driving style. One of the most effective ways to reduce Alfa Romeo fuel consumption is smooth acceleration. With sudden acceleration and braking, some of the fuel simply flies out into the «pipe». Smooth driving, especially in the city, allows you to save a significant amount of fuel. The dependence here is simple – the less we press on the gas pedal, the less Alfa Romeo fuel is consumed.

2. Choosing the right gear reduces Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

Timely switching to higher gears, prolonged acceleration in each gear increases Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption. The optimal operating mode of most modern engines is a range from 2 to 3 thousand revolutions, when driving at lower or higher speeds, Alfa Romeo fuel consumption and engine wear increase. If possible, turn on high gear — this is usually the most economical.

3. Engine braking reduces Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

Another trick is to use engine braking instead of rolling. When coasting, the engine is idling and in any case consumes a certain amount of fuel. When the engine brakes, the car’s electronics «sees» that the engine speed is high and the gas pedal is released, and turns off the fuel supply. That is, the engine operates in compressor mode and does not consume fuel. If the Alfa Romeo fuel consumption is displayed on the on-board computer display at this moment, it will be equal to 0 liters.

4. Frequent stops increase Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

Drive in such a way as to minimize vehicle stops. Analyze the traffic light signals in advance — if the red light is on, you can slow down and drive up to the traffic light, when the green light turns on, you can drive through the intersection without stopping. The same applies to pedestrian crossings — there is no need to accelerate if you see pedestrians approaching the crossing. Each stop and subsequent start from the spot increases Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption.

5. Frequent engine starts increase Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

Do not turn off the engine during short stops for 1-2 minutes. Starting the engine will require additional Alfa Romeo fuel consumption. Turn off the engine when stopped in traffic for more than 5 minutes. If the stopping time is less than 5 minutes, constant engine starts and stops will not only increase Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption, but also shorten the life of the battery and starter. The exception is cars with a «Start-stop» system, the units of which are designed for such work.

6. Overtaking other cars increases Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

Avoid unnecessary overtaking. With dynamic overtaking, Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption increases dramatically. If you need to turn onto a nearby road or stop at a gas station immediately after overtaking, you should not overtake for the sake of overtaking.

7. Prolonged engine warm-up increases Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

In the cold season, do not warm up the engine while standing still. With prolonged warming up, Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption increases, and the engine warms up much faster on the go. It is enough to start the car, warm it up for a couple of minutes and slowly start driving at low engine speeds.

8. Open windows increase Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

Open windows and hatches create additional aerodynamic drag and increase Alfa Romeo fuel consumption. Therefore, if weather conditions allow, it is better to close the windows and use the car’s heating system fan to supply air.

9. The included air conditioner increases Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

With the air conditioner on, Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption increases to 15%, but here everyone chooses for themselves between comfort and fuel consumption. In addition, in conjunction with the previous advice, you need to understand that in conditions of long-term high-speed traffic on the highway, it will still be more economical to turn on the air conditioner than to drive with the windows open. At high speeds, aerodynamics have a more serious impact on Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption.

10. Reducing the weight of the car reduces Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

The heavier the car, the greater the Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption. To reduce Alfa Romeo fuel consumption, you can unload the trunk by removing unnecessary things from it: oil cans, antifreeze, spare parts, etc. There may also be things in the cabin that are just lying around. For example, a car seat. Taken together, these little things can significantly reduce the excess weight of a Alfa Romeo car.

11. Tires and rims affect Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

To reduce Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption, you need to pay more attention to the choice of tires. Modern high-quality tires reduce rolling friction and help to further reduce Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption. Usually, immediately after installing new tires, Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption increases and then gradually decreases. Reduced tire pressure increases Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption as rolling resistance increases. However, it is not necessary to increase tire pressure too much to save fuel, as this can negatively affect handling and comfort. It is sufficient to maintain a constant pressure recommended by the manufacturer for a given tire size. As for the discs, the dependence is simple — the wider and heavier the discs, the higher the Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption. Using alloy wheels (cast or forged) instead of stamped ones allows Alfa Romeo to save fuel.

12. The included headlights increase Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

They create an additional load and increase Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption, however, if you do not have daytime running lights installed, then by law you are required to turn on the headlights at any time of the day, so we cannot influence this factor.

13. The heater and preheating affect Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

Powerful sources of load on the vehicle’s on-board network also contribute to an increase in Alfa Romeo fuel consumption. This is a heater, heated seats, mirrors, windows. Therefore, it is worth using them exactly as much as it is really necessary.

14. Roof rack increases Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

Aerodynamics have a greater effect on Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption on the track – the higher the speed, the stronger its influence. It is clear that we cannot fix the factory aerodynamics. However, additional elements, especially the roof rack, can worsen it. If you don’t need it specifically on this trip, it’s better to take it off.

15. Analysis of the on-board computer readings will help determine the optimal fuel consumption of Alfa Romeo

If your Alfa Romeo car is equipped with a route computer, switch it to the Alfa Romeo fuel consumption reading mode. By monitoring fuel consumption, you can choose the most optimal driving mode.

16. The condition of the car affects Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

To reduce Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption, it is necessary to maintain the car on time and change consumables. For example, contaminated air and fuel filters, old spark plugs can lead to increased Alfa Romeo fuel consumption.

17. The choice of engine oil affects Alfa Romeo’s fuel consumption

If the Alfa Romeo car manufacturer allows the use of several variants of engine and transmission oils, use the least viscous ones, they will help reduce Alfa Romeo fuel consumption

 

The general structure of the Alfa Romeo car

The general design of a Alfa Romeo car used to be taught in a driving school. But today, many, even some experienced drivers have no idea what a Alfa Romeo car is made of. We decided to fill in these gaps and prepared a short explanation of the main parts of a Alfa Romeo car. In the meantime, let’s tell you what is responsible for what in a Alfa Romeo car — for beginners.

Alfa Romeo car body

This is the main component of any car. Some people think that the body is about trucks and vans, but this is not the case. In Alfa Romeo passenger cars, a body is called a metal base, to which all other components and parts are attached. And this is not the metal that we see from the outside (doors, hood, fenders). The main part of the Alfa Romeo body is its power structure, not the attachments. You can see her too. For example, if you open the hood and look at the wall between the engine and the cabin. It is called the Alfa Romeo motor shield, it also belongs to the power structure.
Making a solid but lightweight spatial (three—dimensional) body structure is not an easy task. Therefore, at the dawn of motorization, a simpler solution was used — a frame consisting of a pair of powerful longitudinal profiles of rectangular cross-section and several transverse ones. If you put such a frame vertically, it will look like a large ladder. The engine and everything else were attached to the frame, including a simpler body, which could even be made of wood. Over time, the frame remained only for SUVs (and not all of them) and commercial vehicles.
The body is needed not only for placement inside the units of a Alfa Romeo car and passengers with cargo. It is also the most important element of passive safety. Modern Alfa Romeo bodies are designed so that in case of an accident, they extinguish the impact energy due to deformation of the «technical zones» — the engine compartment, thresholds, etc. The interior is made a solid «cage», which should not allow deformation, protecting passengers. So if you see a severe deformation of the front of the car after an accident, it does not mean that it is «cardboard». On the contrary, the Alfa Romeo body structure worked as it should and prevented the driver and passengers from serious overloads.

Alfa Romeo suspension

Even horse-drawn carriages had primitive suspension. In a Alfa Romeo car, this term refers to the parts that connect the body and wheels. The suspension in the Alfa Romeo car has several tasks at once.
Initially, the suspension was used to compensate for the irregularities of the road. The main role in this is played by elastic elements (springs, springs, etc.) and shock absorbers. But in addition to the comfort of the driver and passengers, the suspension must ensure the closest possible contact between the wheels (tires) and the road. Security depends on it. If the wheel bounces on each bump and loses grip on the surface, the Alfa Romeo car will not be able to confidently keep the direction of movement, and in turns it will begin to demolish and skid. Braking will also be ineffective, because contact with the coating is constantly lost. So a good suspension in the design of a Alfa Romeo car should be moderately rigid to ensure reliable traction of the wheels with the road, and moderately soft so as not to shake the driver and passengers.

Alfa Romeo steering

There should probably be no questions here. With the help of the steering system of the Alfa Romeo car, we set the direction of movement. In the most familiar version, the command from the steering wheel passes through an electric or hydraulic amplifier, a steering mechanism (today most often in the form of a gear and a rack) and with the help of a traction system turns the front wheels to the desired angle. But there are also more modern systems. There is no direct mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. The Alfa Romeo driver, by rotating the steering wheel, only sets his intentions, which are read by sensors. And a separate electric motor controls the rotation of the wheels.
What should I do if this motor fails? It is clear that such a Alfa Romeo malfunction is very dangerous — therefore, the system will switch to emergency mode by connecting the steering shaft, and the steering scheme will return to the classic one.

Alfa Romeo brake system

A Alfa Romeo car needs not only to accelerate, but also to stop effectively. Braking mechanisms in each Alfa Romeo wheel are responsible for deceleration. And they are controlled by a hydraulic (liquid-filled) system. The driver, pressing the brake pedal, creates pressure in it. If necessary, it is increased by a special amplifier, and then it is transmitted through metal tubes and rubber hoses to the brake mechanisms of the Alfa Romeo wheels.
Of course, this is a highly simplified version that was used in Alfa Romeo models of the last century. A modern Alfa Romeo car can have an electronic braking system. The principle is the same as with electronic steering: sensors, control unit and electric pump instead of direct mechanical communication. This allows the Alfa Romeo car to brake before the driver’s command, if necessary — in emergency situations. And most importantly, it is more accurate and safer to distribute the braking force on the Alfa Romeo wheels.
In addition, even low-cost Alfa Romeo models now have an anti-lock braking system. It monitors the pressure in the system, the rotation of the wheels and prevents them from locking even with a strong pressure on the brake pedal. As a result, the Alfa Romeo car retains controllability (with the wheels locked, it simply slides in the same direction, sometimes also rotating), and this makes it possible to avoid an obstacle. Alfa Romeo’s braking system is also used by other electronic assistants. For example, this is how ESP works — it is the brakes that stabilize the Alfa Romeo car.
A separate element of the Alfa Romeo brake system is the parking (manual) brake. As its name implies, it is designed to fix a Alfa Romeo car while parking. On the move, it is used only as an emergency one — in case of failure of the main brakes. It can also have a mechanical design (then it is actuated by a lever that clamps the disc or drum with pads) or be electrically actuated by pressing a button.

Alfa Romeo engine

Otherwise, it is also called a power unit, although this is not entirely true — in fact, this term combines a motor and a gearbox (more on it later). Traditionally, Alfa Romeo cars use internal combustion engines, in which the energy of the burning fuel is transformed into mechanical energy using certain mechanisms, and it drives the wheels of the Alfa Romeo. And some of it is also electrical, due to the operation of the Alfa Romeo generator.
Today, you will not surprise anyone with a Alfa Romeo electric motor. It doesn’t need fuel, it runs on battery power. Alfa Romeo hybrid cars also remain very relevant. These have both engines (or even several electric ones). But in hybrids, the battery capacity is relatively small. It is enough to drive at low speed for several kilometers, and then the engine starts and it already moves the car, while charging the batteries. Why such difficulties? The fact is that the hybrid turns out to be more efficient than the traditional design — at least because it allows you to return some of the energy spent on acceleration during subsequent braking of the Alfa Romeo car. This mode is called recuperation, in which an electric motor turns into an electric power generator. And the engine itself, due to the help of an electric motor, operates in more economical modes.

Alfa Romeo Power Supply System

To properly understand how the internal combustion engine works in a Alfa Romeo car, it is important to know that the engine needs more than just fuel. To burn it, you need air — and in a strictly defined amount. The Alfa Romeo power supply system is engaged in preparing its mixture with fuel and feeding it into the cylinders.
The device of a Alfa Romeo passenger car of the last century assumed the presence of a carburetor for making a mixture. Then the carburetors were replaced by fuel injection systems — they are installed on all modern cars. The mixing process is handled by electronics. It receives signals from various sensors (including the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system), calculates the optimal composition of the mixture. With distributed injection, the injectors, at the command of the control unit, supply the required amount of fuel to the intake manifold, where it mixes with air and enters the Alfa Romeo cylinder.
There are also direct injection systems. In them, the fuel enters directly into the Alfa Romeo cylinders and is already mixed with air from the BMW intake manifold there. But the principle is the same: a mixture of the desired composition is formed in the Alfa Romeo cylinders, and it ignites.

Alfa Romeo exhaust system

It is also called exhaust. Only Alfa Romeo internal combustion engines have it. After the fuel-air mixture has burned in the Alfa Romeo cylinders, it is necessary to remove the formed gases as quickly as possible. And at the same time reduce the noise from their escaping flow. These are the main tasks of the Alfa Romeo exhaust system. It usually consists of several components — neutralizers, resonators and silencers. Once in them, the gases cool down, and sound waves passing through a system of channels with partitions partially compensate each other. As a result, at the outlet of the pipe we do not get a red-hot exhaust with a terrifying roar, but only warm gases with a tolerable soundtrack.
If we talk about modern Alfa Romeo exhaust systems, they have one more important detail — a catalytic converter. It decomposes the harmful components of exhaust gases into more harmless ones — ideally, nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide. Read what a Alfa Romeo catalyst is and how it works.

Alfa Romeo transmission

This is all that transmits the rotation of the Alfa Romeo engine to the wheels. Again about the popular misconception. The transmission is not just a gearbox that converts the torque developed by the motor. In addition to the box itself, there are also shafts that connect it to the drive axles, gearboxes that transmit torque further to the wheels, hinges of equal angular velocities.
There are several types of drive (front, rear, full), different versions of Alfa Romeo gearboxes (manual, automatic, CVT, robot), as well as BMW transfer cases. Depending on this, the types of transmissions also differ, although they are conditionally divided according to the type of Alfa Romeo gearbox.

Alfa Romeo Electrical Equipment

Even in the simplest Alfa Romeo car, there are many consumers of electricity. These are spark plugs (they need to be supplied with current to create a spark), headlights, electric fans, and windscreen wipers. Modern Alfa Romeo models are simply packed with electronics.
There are two «suppliers» of energy in a Alfa Romeo car: a battery and a generator. The Alfa Romeo battery stores current and outputs it when the Alfa Romeo engine is started. We also use it when parking with the Alfa Romeo engine turned off: for example, if we turn on the emergency light or listen to music.
But the energy reserve in the Alfa Romeo battery is not so great. Therefore, after starting the Alfa Romeo engine, the Alfa Romeo generator takes over the task of supplying the on-board system with electricity. This is a mini-power plant that converts the rotational energy of the engine into electrical energy. Energy is consumed, among other things, to replenish the battery capacity of the Alfa Romeo.
