Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

Thank you both :) Well the drivers seat is in a bit worse condition, but still not that bad :) As for the update about the car recently I have replaced master clutch cylinder (the one on the gearbox), as it started to leak (despite the fact that the "old" one was replaced two years ago - but I guess...

Welcome back! I heard from more sources that I hope you will have more happy moments with this one than with the Q4

Wow, lots of nice work Thumbs up!

Indeed it did :) In last few months I was still fighting with some issues - car had less power and higher fuel consumpion then it should. Although at first I suspected turbocharging issue, after some digging it turned out to be problem with ignition. Cables on distributor were switched for 1st and 2...

Keep in mind that pre-facelift and facelift (Super) version have different front shock absorbers - including upper mounting, etc. The best is to look up the code you need in ePer (for example here http://keyeper.pekidi.com). But the truth is that for Super version it's very hard to get new shock abs...

Really nice duo

I have set of brand new front springs for 164. They're Kyaba RA1002.
Bought them to have them in stock but I managed to get another set so I can let one set go
Price is 80E + shipping for set of two springs.

Already went down to 1900€

If you mean those for Super version, they're hard to get... even harder in goot shape. But you can use those from pre-facelift version, they fit and are from harder plastic so they're more durable

Replaced lambda sensor (so now it hopefully won't take 15l/100km and does not stink that much ) and during weekend done approximately 400km. And it did not brake down, yet Also finally attended some Alfisti meetup after 1.5 year with own car

But as AlfaWizz said, those have different bolt pattern (5x108), so unusable on your wheel hubs unless you want to have them re-drilled.

So today Alfa passed MOT (from technical point of view without restrictions, on emissions it had to be adjusted a bit :D). I took that long due to issues described here - http://alfaromeo164register.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=13543#p13537 Of course it would not be Alfa if I would not discovered yesterd...

To keep this updated, issues is really with the dials - I tested it with dials from another car and those worked just fine. Then I put back my old and begin to search for replacements and in the meanwhile I went with car to wash it and then did around 20km ride... after 10km dials started to work pr...

Tested two spare speed sensors (inserted into drilling machine) and it's also bouncing... So speed sensor in my car is most likely OK. Then I tried to swap out the ignition coil and here is some progress. Now multimeter connected either to the coil or all the way to connector C10 (CII) pin 8 return ...

Hi,

Yes, adaptor is needed, something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/brake-bracke ... 3189567301

Issue still ongoing... I fixed problem with starting (bad connector on the line from immo box to main ECU harness), so that's one thing. But dials are still acting in a funny way. What was checked and some observations: - grounds - all on all engine parts (intake manifold, throtle body, engine heads...

This is just gorgeous work, you do

Really nice work

Hello guys, @Pinino: Thank you for the link, I will go through it. However it was not misbehaving like this before we removed part of the electric wiring for engine during the engine removal-insert. So I rather suspect loose connecion somewhere. So far I tried to disconnect and clean all cable conne...

It's alive! After 1 year, 2 months and 13 days it has finally returned (so far unoficially as it has to pass MOT) on roads :) 102_7928.JPG Driven around 80km and it's working... fingers crossed. Just have to sort out some bug with speedometer/RPM dial - http://alfaromeo164register.com/viewtopic.php?...

Hello guys, So my car is finally running (did 80km so far) but still have one thing to sort out - both speedometer and RPM meter are "bouncing": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3CK735u28Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I suspect some groundin point issues (cleaned ignition coil cont...

Seems so - bellow is the picture of one soare valve I have with locks correctly in place and shim on the top. As you can see there's gal between lock and shim (1mm - I know, I have exagerated a bit with those 3-5mm :D but still if valve is shortened by 0.4mm (definetely not more then that) there is ...

I did not shorten the shim edges, but! the one I used had quite short edges anyway and between them and locks were roughly 3-5mm of space so I don't believe it could move that much... I shortened it by approximately 0,4mm (before I had clearance 0,25mm with 1,68mm shim, no I have 0,4mm with 1,9mm sh...

Yeah, that's the thing - I also had my valve seats grinded and after that on one valve I could not fit in tolerance (after recommendation I went for a 0.400mm clearance on intakes) with the 1.700mm shims. I had one done to 1.600mm but it was still not good and I did not want to go with to thin shims...

Really nice report! And great to see that even in such remote parts of the world (meaning far from Italy ) spirit of 164s still lives
