Hello Ladies and Gents,

I've recently acquired a 159 3.2 JTS with the Q-Tronic transmission.

This is my first European car, first car with more than 4 cylinders and first car with a torque converter.

It has 109,000k on the odometer and I bought it for a song. There are more expensive 156 JTS examples on the market.

Today I took it in for it's major service and had almost every maintenance item, fluid and filter replaced. The only items that I did not have replaced was the fuel filter as I was told that it's hardly necessary.

The car does need some TLC and likely a front bar respray as well as some minor trim pieces on the interior to be perfect, but I'm rather happy with my purchase so far.

If you see a black 159 with '458' as the last three digits of the number plate in Victoria, that's likely to be me.


Cool Jesus
