Ihave a 2006 159 2.2JTS with Selespeed box. Car has 90000km on it. I parked my car and when I put it in neutral it came up with the "have gearbox checked" message on the screen. Turned the car off, back on, same message and will not select R or 1. When the car is on but engine not running I can select R or 1.
Beware2.2JTS major hose failure. Driving along a major A road I suddenly get that horrible message ' Coolant Temp Too High Stop Engine! ' a glance at the temp gauge and its sitting at 130deg:depressed:. Along with the dread that i am about to warp my cylinder head i have to find a safe place to pull without causing a major accident.

22 JTS 159 suddenly misfiring going up hill, P1670 code, fuel leak at tank. I bought a 2007 159 2.2 JTS in November of 2021. 203,000km on the clock and not in the best cosmetic shape, but seemingly mechanically sound, and it's run well since the first test drive. The only persistent issues I've had are an unpleasant smell of fuel at the back
