Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

I am also trying to find the ABS fuse box location which is numbered as G125 in the ABS wiring diagram. There is supposed to be a 10amp fuse here but I cannot find its location to check this

Latest on my issue is, I had the module rebuilt and now the ABS light will go out with the ignition on and the engine running The 60a fuse is fine and 14v either side and there is 12v to the main input connector to the block on pins 1(ignition on) 2 ( direct from battery and pin 3 ABS warning when i...

For me it’s definitely the Electronic module that is the issue

So any help would be appreciated finding a functioning part or suggestions on who may be able to look at it with a view to repair

Looking at the pictures, I can’t believe the condition is so solid after so many kms - it just proves that using a car is better for it then it sitting about

Hi all

I am still suffering with an issue with my Q4 ABS pump

Does anybody have a contact who might have a spare??

The car is off the road since 3 years now and I really want to fix it!!

Best regards

Daryl

Hi all Well the ABS light is still causing issues and being completely irrational I think it is the module itself probably with a dry joint or something. I took it off to see if it was easy to repair, but could find no way of opening it up, so will send it to an ECU specialist for testing Using ecu ...

By the way the ABS light is still on

Just a question on the ABS control unit - it looks like it can be removed by taking out 5 screws. Is it as easy as this and can the PCB be accessed easily or is it Potted?

Was thinking it may have dry joints on the header connector, so wanted to check

Cheers

Thanks Alfan for searching this out that's great and confirms the software scan, its good to know you can talk to the car even without a computer! i hope now that I have no further issues but suspect the connector has been an issue in the past as somebody had used a cable tie to try to secure it to ...

Ok getting some where The ABS communicated at last with a multi ECU scan and the software from here and it indicates not connected right hand speed sensor No other faults are found I have been playing again tonight and have tested the resistance of the sensor and it is correct at 1600 ohms and this ...

Hi Alfawhiz I have checked the fuse but no joy and the connectors were clean although the plating on the fuse was not great. I will change it to see if this makes a difference Interestingly I wiggled the main connector last night with the thought it could be poor contact and the light went out. It s...

Hi Alfan

Yes I read the post earlier but the fuse does not clear the problem

Interesting that wiggling the main connector to the pump clears the light for a time, and also putting it in sport mode!

Not sure they are related but!!!

Hi All I have the dreaded ABS light on on my 164 - it is on and off but seems to be getting more permanent. The car has been off the road for 2 years but had just started to have the issues before I pulled the engine out to do some oil seals and the clutch etc Its now back in and running so I am try...

Hi all I’m trying to find the torque setting for the big end (rod) bolts on my Q4 engine It has bolts holding the bearing block together and not nuts and studs. The only reference in engine manuals is to the torque setting of 39-43 lb ft for nuts on studs, but no reference to bolt torque settings, w...

Looking very good

Great news and it’s brilliant when the fix is that simple!

Hi Maciej That’s really great, thanks for digging out the info, I remember reading your thread concerning the issues with the filter Mine looked like pipe 9 in the Eper so not to much of an issue to get made, and the other lines at the rear need sorting as they are very rusty. The lines from the pum...

Hi all

Well after 24 years my Q4’s hydraulic lines are staring to show there age and one has developed a leak.

I will get some made up, but just wondered if anyone has a diagram of them or even better a pattern for making them?

Thanks for any help


Regards Daryl

Yes the UK has an MOT every 12 months. The spring was also broken!

The top mounts look nowhere near as bad as yours, but I will take them apart de-rust and paint. Thanks for sharing the pictures for reference. Mine is on 200,000kms only Plan is to refurb the old ones by replicating the spring pan and getting it welded on to the old body after a de- rust and paint a...

The top mount looks to be OK and only appears to be surface rust on the base.

I’m checking the other side and the fronts as well

164 Q4 Down! Driving at about 20mph and I hear a massive bang from the rear, it turned out to be a snapped coil spring and collapsed lower spring pan luckily only a 1/4 of a mile from home. I limped her back to my garage with no further damage. I hate to think what would have been the outcome at hig...

Looks like the front right and rear left solenoid valves have a problem ? These would be part of the ABS unit probably controlled by relays
