Alfa Romeo 164 Register.com

So started to take the engine apart. By handturning the engine, I got 5 - 6 bar on each cylinder, so happy with that. Taking the top apart has mainly shown a good state of the parts, which I am happy about - and also expected to some point :) A little bit of marks on one of the cams, will have to lo...

I have attached a zip file here, containing 2 different versions, depending on if you need to use a 90deg setup, as I did.

Yes, as I have mentioned on a few occasions, Nagengast have done a great job on the adjustable shocks on my Q4 and 8.32, and steering racks for both, as well.

I have also ordered and received new ones, so that it is ready when the car is put back together

Not really much Q4 specific up to this point, but will be later. And good to have you back on the forum

Yes, a Q4 meetup would be a great idea, some day it should be possible

It was good of the designer of the car to answer you

I have not looked into this, so hope that someone can give input to this.

I don't recall the number, but am quite sure that it is different because of the 4WD.

It is a however a good price for your unit

I am in for contacting them, if you find a way.

Have you considered rebuilding the original ones or are they rusted away?

Maybe this link works:

Do you have part numbers?

I saw earlier this week on FB that Ed has more Q4's, so might be worth contacting him again.

If you believe it is the pump unit, I would suggest to have an expert look at it.

Otherwise Ed Alfist is my best suggestion for a spare unit.

The 164 was a solidly made car in so many ways, something Marchionne never really did understand... Last weekend I got the windscreen out (it was cracked) and got the chrome lists of in good shape. I have new screen and lists. Also the rear screen was removed, but that ended up in a lot of pieces an...

So I have taken the bumpers apart - so many rivets in these, but after 30 years and 550kkm I can only conclude that they are well made :) Also the inner roof is now out, as I want to remove the front and rear windshields next weekend, so that it is prepared for rust work, which will hopefully start ...

I can see I replied in the old thread

This links to another thread with the details of how it was found that checking the ABS fuse is a good idea, before getting other ideas....

Hopefully the rust spots will be fixed in the near future, so that the shell is done and painting can happen

This links to another thread with the details of how it was found that checking the ABS fuse is a good idea, before getting other ideas....

For the Q4 there is a separate fuse for the ABS at the firewall in the engine bay. I don't know if this is different for FWD versions.

Front or rear? Not sure if 4 or 6 cyilnder is the same?

That is a shame! Have you established that it is not an electrical gremlin, before doing anything else? I have had that same type of reading in my Q4, and that was a faulty sensor, which is fairly common...

So yesterday I did some cleaning of the underbody protection and find no nasty surprises, happy with that :mrgreen: It was a messy job, but fortunately was able to do it outside - and I cleaned up well afterwards also :D Rear wheel wells need some attention, and then some surface corrosion needs to ...

So prepared it for high pressure cleaning the car underneath, hopefully the coming weekend. This will be a simple clean to see, if more things appear. I am not expecting major things to appear, but I will take it from there and also hear what those fixing the rust spots will say. There is no need fo...

So slightly moving forward on the Q4, starting to put rust remover on some spots, then need to figure out how the best way is to clean the entire underside properly to found out exactly what needs to be treated/repaired/replaced. Deadline still some way into the future... :arrow: 2023-11-05 16.17.46...

It is definitely looking good

I hope that the electrical gremlins are easily fixed!

Hmm, does not seem that putting a link here works... edit, now it did
