Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

My guess is that one or both of your ignition modules ( Parts No. 60562702) located in the engine bay close to radiator and the air box) are failing. This happened to my QV24 once - one cylinder failed to fire up; swapped the ignition modules and the bad cylinder then moved to another cylinder. Repl...

Yes, this must be the rarest part available on Earth.

Hmm, it is intriguing to hear belatedly that the RHD's 166 clutch master cylinder is a perfect fit for the 164's. My mechanic has been fixing Alfa for many years so this latest finding came as a shock. Would be interested to see how a RHD clutch master cylinder looks like - I posted pictures of the ...

I have asked the workshop to make me two pairs. I have yet to try them on. I shall see if they fit well and how the steering rack behaves after fitting. If all goes well, and if there is a demand for these custom-made bushes, I can ask the local workshop to produce some more.

I know 3D printing is a way out. Do not have the tools and skills to do it on my own.

Dear All, I finally pulled my QV24 out from storage and tried to fix the steering rack, this is because I eventually found a used one in the UK (RHD) and the seller was so helpful to find me a machine shop to recondition the rack before sending to me. I then found a local machine shop to fabricate t...

It has been with my former mechanic who said he would try to find someone to fix it. That was like over three years ago and I wonder if he still has it.

Yes, indeed, but only if we have a used, broken one as the master for copying.

Great find! Many thanks.

Am still looking for these two parts. For the plastic cover, hopefully I can find one used and repair it.

I have a sensor connector in the engine bay that is breaking up. What is it and can it be replaced new?

Wow, am very impressed with the Q4 conquering the cold. Can't imagine how many cars over 20 years that can still thrive in such extreme weather.

I have made a donation as well. Many thanks for helping to maintain this site.

I posted a similar question a couple of years ago, [check out http://www.alfaromeo164register.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1443&p=9261#p9261 ] and should I say that I am glad or sad to know someone is still looking for a solution? I found a picture of the two bushings from the Alfabb forum and attach her...

Found a rare but 4-stud, brand new in-box Zender Milano on eBay. http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af242/WhiteCE/17%20Zender%20Milano_zpsdybjjvy4.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/262789435694?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Many people like wheels in bright silver, some some ...

Thanks for the heads up about other RHD regions in the world. Yes, I remember seeing an Alfa classics gathering near Central World when I visited Bangkok many years ago, and was surprised at the time by the range of collection and the mint conditions of those cars. Thanks also for sharing the pictur...

Ethnic Chinese living on the tiny island are more akin to the western world due to its past history as a British colony. If anything, apart from Australia and New Zealand, South African and Singapore, Hong Kong is the probably the last sanctuary of right hand drive vehicles. You will be surprised by...

Pity that no 164s turned up on Alfa Day on this occasion. There are actually just a few left (not more than five, I guess) in Hong Kong, Louis' and mine are probably the better ones as he and I spare nothing in upkeeping them. Elsewhere the 164 chapters of various Alfa forums are getting quieter, as...

Folks, I have looked up my files and found a picture of the original plastic stud used on the Speedline rims. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z98/QVHK/QVRimsPlasticStud-mmsize.jpg You might find the measurements useful in searching for replacement or modifying any near-products. Please note that ...

Hi, since I have received another PM asking me the source of the custom-made rim screws for the QV24 Speedline rims, perhaps I should share the info more openly as in fact the supplier is a member of this forum, but who may not have logged in for a long time and therefore not aware of the discussion...

Here is a short video clip by a local Chinese newspaper Apple Daily in Hong Kong about Alfa Day that was held last Sunday. The narrative is in Chinese but enjoy the visual and the exhaust note! http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/realtime/supplement/20161121/55929722" onclick="window.open(this.href);retur...

Hi, Can you take a look at the PM facility and see why messages sent were still in the outbox? A member tried to reach me by PM and I responded the next day but more lately I saw his post in the forum gain so I checked my PM boxes and found the message supposedly sent on 28 June is still in the Outb...

PM sent. Also, another Alfisti in the UK obtained his rim screws from Germany. Here is the screws that he possibly used on that occasion. http://www.titanium-touch.de/produkte.php?page=felgenschraube&mode=show&id=9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; He has his QV rims refurbished and sol...

Yes, be very careful about fuel leak in the engine bay, imagine the car burning in flames whilst moving on the highway. There have been quite a number of Ferraris written off because of self-ignited fire. Our 164 are rare species now so let us keep them well and running. My earlier and present QV24 ...

I saw your post just now. Eventually all improvised methods would have some risks or won't last. What I did was to take my mechsnic's advice,taking advantage of the opportunity in dropping the engine to fix the steering racks, to change the clutch hose wiring to accommodate a LHD clutch master cylin...
