Hi there,
A week ago I bought myself an Alfa 75 2.0 TS (1990). When I bought It, it had a clicking noise from the back and the clutch and gearbox seemed a bit... well tired. It looked like the clicking noise came from a broken exhaust pipe bearing. But that wasn't it. I drove it a bit hard yesterday, and of course everything went wrong.
The entire car shakes quite violently when it is standing still in neutral and when driving below 3000 rev.
It accelerates very poorly below 3000 rev., but when it's above 3000 rev. the shaking seems to go away.
The clicking noise from the back is worse, than when I bought it. When I put the clutch down the clicking noise seems to go away, or at least it isn't that loud. (But the the shaking doesn't go away).
My engine temp is around 85-95 c and has been since i bought it. It doesn't matter how I drive the car. But the meter changes all the time, so I don't know if I can trust it. Also if I turn the display light op or down the temp and gas meter does the same. I have checked the cooling system for leaks and it seems to be okay. I haven't flushed the cooling system, course I don't know were the bleed screw is located.
Please write if you have any idea of what could be the problem, or problems.
Thanks a lot.
