    Hola, gracias por el aporte que haces a los propietarios de Alfa Romeo... en mi caso tengo un Alfa Romeo 156 Twin Spark 2.0 Selespeed año 2004, anteriormente hicieron un mal trabajo con él, limpié cuerpo de aceleración, cambié Termostato y Bujías de encendido de acuerdo al Manual, el auto quedó irregular en Ralentí, viendo su video realicé el Reseteo de la ECU, como usted lo indica, al salir a pasear y probar por unos 15 Km, el auto anduvo muy bien, suave andar, perfecta pasada de cambios, todo bien. Luego de detenerme unos minutos a comprar a los 15 Km aproximadamente, al retomar el auto, este ya volvió a ser irregular en ralentí, aunque mejoró su andar. Si pueden ayudar, sugiriendo algo, les agradecería. Saludos desde Las Condes - Santiago - Chile.

      You can reset the light this way, and possibly the flashing odometer. However, take your car to a good mechanic with a good diagnostic tool that can access all of the modules, and he'll be able to read out the codes for check engine light, and for the flashing odometer as well.

    Hi, I was wondering - if you do this, do you have to put in the Alfa Romeo code? I have a used 156 2.0 Twin Spark, my immobilizer locked the steering wheel, so I can not turn. But the engine starts no problem, everything works except the steering wheel. Will removing the battery for some time reset the immobiliser, or the steering wheel lock somehow? I am desperate, nothing works and the steering wheel is locked. The car is otherwise perfectly fine but I cant seem to unlock the wheel
