2.0 JTS engine: cam belt failure and change interval
For the 2.0 JTS engine, premature failure of the cam belt resulted in the change over interval being reduced to 36,000 miles/60,000 kilometres or every three years, whichever comes first.
3.2 V6 engine: cam belt change interval
For the 3.2 V6 engine, it is recommended that the cam belt be changed at 60,000 miles (approximately 96,000 kilometres) or five years, whichever comes first.
Front suspension noise
A squeaking noise from behind the dashboard can indicate that the front upper wishbone requires replacement. Furthermore, a rattling noise from the footwell area may indicate that the roll bar bushes are worn.
Rear suspension
For the rear suspension, the rear hub bushes and rear radius arms should be checked for wear as these can cause uneven tyre wear (such as a saw-tooth pattern on the inner edge of the tyre) and excessive tyre noise. .
Manual gear lever movement
For Alfa Romeo GT vehicles with manual transmissions, if the gear lever does not move easily across the gate you will need a pair of bushes in the pivot point on top of the gear box.
