Hi Folks
On the 14th I swap my Red 2018 Abarth 595 Custom for a Volcano Black Tipo Easy + 1.6 MJet 2, its a long story but we need the space and 5 doors, it will be a big change after hooning around in Abarths for the last six year (I've had 4!)
Its a pre-reg 18 plate with delivery mileage, ticket price £11,000, but pretty much a straight swap for the Abarth, given the negative equity on the PCP. I think its a good deal.
I think the Tipo, with the more powerful engines is far better than the rather pro German marque bias reviews suggest.
The biggest question is its a diesel , the last Alfa we had was a 147 M-Jet and that was pre-DPF, I am a little concerned about the DPF regeneration, my commute is only 10 miles each way.
What do I need to do to protect the engine and DPF to make sure they stay healthy?
Use V-Power Diesel, or just additives every 6 months?
An Italian Tune-up never does any harm!
Your experience and advise is appreciated
