Hello to all,
I have been looking to purchase a 2002 model AR147, 90,000kms, manual transmission and just recently took it in for an extensive vehicle inspection. The results showed the vehicle was in average condition - a problem with the headlight adjustment and noises from the timing cover area, but most notably: oil leaks at the gearbox and all around the engine sump plug. I was wondering whether any other Alfa owners (not just 147) have encountered such a problem? Also, whether or not this is a somewhat regular thing for AR147's? And most importantly, before I go ahead with further investigation, can anyone give me an approximation/educated assumption to perhaps the root of this problem or the costs involved with reparation?
Thanks in advance.
