It's squealing like crazy and I need to fix or replace it.

Where can I get the gray material that goes in the center of the Recaro seats found in the Milano Verde? While it's not terribly important that I match it, it would be nice as the driver seat bottom cushion is the only part from both front seats that needs repair.

Are the headrests adjustable on the Milano Gold front seats? Owner's manual says to adjust them correctly but does not tell you how! Mine are all the way down and thus catch me right on my neck....not very safe.

I have the 2.5 and the previous owner put on the Euro downpipes. I had a muffler shop add a new "high flow" 2 in/2 out cat. Rest of exhaust is stock and brand new. Have seen tons of "cold air" intakes on ebay but seems stock airbox would flow pretty well and the after market stuf...

I don't know if the steering wheel hub assembly on a GTV is the same as the Milano but on my Milano I was able to mount a Grant custom wheel without any special adaptors. I imagine a Momo or similar wheel would mount as easily. I ground down the four rivets holding the steering wheel to the wheel mo...

What is the trick to getting my Milano steering wheel off? I undid the hub nut but even with a steering wheel puller all I'm doing is bending the hub where the wheel attaches to it. Is there some magic involved here? I have removed tons of Fiat steering wheels and never had a problem.

Changing front wheel bearings made no difference so I'll look into changing rear bearings.....and also changing tires.

Is changing rear bearings really not a do-it-yourself job?

Thanks for the philosophy, it seems Italian car owners hand out equal amounts of philosphy and tech advice. I changed front wheel bearings this weekend and it made no difference. Milano buddy said he thought it was coming from the back of the car. Like you he said these cars make all kinds of noises...

Very growly at 40-45pmh on my Milano (161k miles)...thought it was the rear end but buddy said to see what happens to noise in turns. Well, growl goes away in right turns and gets louder in left turns. Can I assume front wheel bearings or something in the rear amiss? I knew I should have stuck with ...

That makes two of us. The car is in a barn and I have not seen the underside yet. Some of the problems with driveline noise might be wheel bearings. Growls at 45mph but steering bias to the right makes the sound disappear, bias to the left makes it louder. I'm used to solid axle Fiat spiders with 99...

Rear in my 5-speed Milano with 161,000 miles rumbles around 40-45mph and whines above that. I have access to an auto Milano with under 100K miles and was wondering if that rear would bolt in without any problems.

I'm new to Alfas, been doing Fiats for last 20 or 30 years. Mine is a Milano gold with 5-speed and is dead stock except euro down pipes which previous owner fitted....which is why it probably just flunked emissions....no cat. Friend with 164S is selling his stock wheels and I'm interested, at least ...

Bolt pattern is apparently the same. Will offset be an issue? Also, will hub opening fit, was told the 164 hub opening is smaller than Milano.
