Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

Participated in a classic rally with the Alfa (first time since the restoration) and we won. Great pictures too. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1944/45160960281_bdfa7401fc_c.jpg 43213582_2238218416251448_7672543269930139648_n by M R , on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1911/30222805517_ddeae2d...

How was the Nordic Spettacolo? I spend quite a bit of time in Sweden typically (Gothenburg and Stockholm regions) but usually fly there. Would not mind to visit some events with my cars next year maybe.

I went to Zandvoort again; this time for the Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo. I am volunteer there every year for technical support. That also means be there early on Saturday (sometimes even on Fridays), have little sleep Saturday night and leave late Sunday night. Sounds bad and it is fantastic :D ...

Many small items are still not up to my standards. Striving (too) much for perfection. I had long been in doubt about the wheels but I decided in the end to go for refurbished original wheels. Bit of work still to do on them. Great ! what a job, how do you do that ??? :o I stripped the original pai...

On some ABS units the relays are soldered on, on others they can be replaced like any relays. The ABS unit reads back essentially the voltage after the relay and on that basis it sets a faultcode. I'm not 100% sure it reads the high current (so the wire to the solenoid) but that is what I expect. If...

Last weekend was the event for 2017. Next year at approx. the same dates it will be again, either at the race track in Assen or at the race track in Zandvoort. Is it nice? Well I'm not objective as I am one of the many volunteers. What I hear every year again from visitors from all over the world th...

Normal shocks (Monroe) are easy to get. Any parts store I tried so far (also online). Some other parts like the shocks bearings can be a bit more work but you also find those. The shocks for the adaptive system (Boge) are often at high prices on E-bay. There is a method however to rebuild them. I be...

Where exactly is it leaking? Picture? It is possible to restore a brake booster I am sure.
If not the part number of the supplier can be cross referenced. Brake boosters are not that much car specific so would also have been used in other cars.

Not sure if still needed. There are two hoses of the same size that go throught the firewall. One is inlet to the heater core and one is outlet. You can disconnect them and use a small pipe to connect them to each other. That will bypass the heater core and the pipes in the firewall. Take care about...

As already seen in the previous pictures; in the end I decided to have the paint done professionally in the off-hours of a bodyshop. I just could not get it to the finish consistently as I wanted. http://alfa164register.nl/community/fotoboek/userpics/Engine/project/DSC_0001_36z.jpg http://alfa164reg...

Hi, bit late response. Did you look at the low pressure fuel system? So the supply to the diesel pump? Even a small leak will cause air to enter this system and then when you start it after it sat for some hours it gets air bubbles instead of Diesel. Very common. I've had it happen on a Fiat TD and ...

Trying to grasp the issue. I'm not sure exactly what fuse keeps blowing up. Quick look did not show me any security device type of fuses. Maybe start following the diagrams (from this site)? This may be a start. Just a selection from the power distribution. Also should not be extremely difficult. Ju...

Maybe a little help. I've posted something on the Dutch 164 register. I took some pictures of a SAAB 9000 in the SAAB museum to compare against my 164. Note that I have a TwinSpark so without AWD.

No, engine still needs to come out. Overhaul of the engine bay, not the engine. So another year at least..

Struggling with the pictures a bit again. Anyway the trunk is except for some last polishing ready. Rear bumper and boot lid are back on. Now working on the interior. http://alfa164register.nl/community/fotoboek/userpics/Engine/project/DSC_0009[1].JPG http://alfa164register.nl/community/fotoboek/use...

Very nice work. With every step your TD is looking better. Take care on the car as the TD is rare. And that for what was once the record holder for fastest production diesel car on sale.

So to come back on this. For now the conclusion is that this might be a assembly line error. There were indeed two versions of the pipes; with and without end-cap. It seems that the version with end-cap was used on the non climate control versions. However I do have climate control so it is incorrec...

Nice work. Are you going to get them rebuild? These mechanical injectors have to be adjusted for opening pressure by adding shims on the internal spring. Especially when they have been opened but it can even be advisable to do so after many years or miles when there are some complaints. A diesel ser...
