164 Q4 air intake hose

Ennio · Post by **Ennio** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:08 pm

Hi I am searching for a 164 Q4 (I think it is 94-95) air intake flex hose (part number 60594238).
Someone has or nows were I can find a NOS since it is NLA form Alfa?

Thanks

That hose is my biggest fear too; mine starts to get some cracks as well.Since it's no longer available from Alfa, I think we need to gather enough Q4 drivers and search for a rubber company who is able to duplicate a batch for a reasonable price.

Is this part different from Qv12v/24v?

The Q4 has an Air Mass Meter (I think it's called) and the other 164's an Air Flow Meter, so not the same. I have also found that it's not available from Alfa and don't know where to get it.

Ok, well if you Q4 owners want to organize some things.

I tried to order this hose (mine has micro-cracks too) from local Fiat before 2 weeks, they told me "no problem", so I am curious...

Ladin, from what I can see, you have a QV (FWD). That has an air flow meter, not an air mass meter as the Q4 (4WD), so hoses are different...

Sorry, my mistake... But after 3 weeks, no answer... So on QV is the same problem...

Maybe, if we're able to gather enough people, we can request Alfa to remake a batch or ask them to give the adress of the vendor who made them for Alfa.

Hi guys,

indeed it would be great if we could gather and get a batch of the part done; my friend will definately go for it. Meanwhile he managed to use some parts of the old hose with the flex-hose he found in a store after searching. The Q4´s flex-hose is 4 inches of diameter so he had to search a lot in finding an intake that had this diameter, he then cut the flex-hose, cut here and there, used some urethane compound to glue it and it works perfectly. Also it looks great

This is just a solution until we can source the part we need...

I recently got a second Q4 intakehose; cracked, but it has all the dimensions. I purchased it for the sole reason to ship it to someone who could make a handful of copies of it.

At this moment I'm busy trying to remake them from silicone.
We just have to wait, because it's an experiment and most of all..... expensive for me.
I have different models in production, Qv 12v (S), Qv 24v (Q) and the Q4.
I'm interested in what color you wish your air intake hose. My favorite color is Black.

Regards,

Erwin

would be interested to have one spare... black is nice or blue

Post by **fasani** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 3:18 pm

I would suggest to keep 1 color (black) if you want to make more for spare, black is easy to sell.

My thoughts...

Black works for me! Looking forward to hear more about your results

Airintake hose from Q4 gives problems to remake these in Silicon, we are busy solving this.
So keep you guys informed.
