Just to say, as original poster, that I haven't actually got round to doing anything about my variator and (touch wood) other than the diesel sounding engine for about 3 seconds on startup I haven't had any problems.

It was serviced (36,000) in January by an Alfa specialist (not the dealer that suggested I give them £500+ to fix it) and they didn't mention it.

I will probably just wait until its 48,000 mile service and as I have heard the cam belt needs replacing then get them to do it at the same time.

Is this safe? To be honest after posting this last year I haven't thought about it much, now this post has been resurrected I am paranoid that my engine is going to fail soon now !!
