Re: rear wishbone rubber

So did you find something? Do you have a part number for it or the unit the bushing is mounted in?

Re: Long time road going 164 Q4 1994 project

And another 164 Q4 has come to the garage. It has unfortunately been parked outside for a long time, but the renovated engine and wheels have been stored inside and it is complete. Maybe it will be on the road some day... πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

Re: Long time road going 164 Q4 1994 project

Well, it is going a bit slow with the 164, so I am doing the timing belt on my 916 Spider 24V. Still some way to go, expect to be done next weekend πŸ€

Problems registering new members on this site

Re: Alfa 164 q4 owner

If you had any problems with fuel pressure, the submersible hose is definitely worth to check. But if restoring the car, it is worth changing components that are likely to be worn.

Re: Alfa 164 q4 owner

Good to hear that you still have it and want to keep it😎

Look at this thread, it contains bosch numbers and a possible other solution, though photos are not available anymore.

Re: Engine thermal death due to fault in transmission oil cooler (automatic)?

A long read, but interesting info!

I may have lost the overview a bit, but when replacing the engine(s) I guess you also had new/other waterpump thermostat and other ancillaries? Same transmission? New/other radiator? If some of this was replaced, I would rule out those being the main cause of the ...

Re: 3.0 12V accelerates itself

Sounds to me like an airleak, which has increased over time... Maybe combined with an electrical issue, when it occurs.

I don't have anything more specific, but I guess the suggestions in similar situations of trying to spray something (non-flammable) around the hoses might be a place to start.

Re: Stronger rear springs

I don't know, but I think it will be difficult to find, unless they have an armoured version, where the springs are stronger for the extra weight.

Re: jerking engine

I don't know much about the 2L version, but I guess a place to look is at the throttle linkage to the plenum - maybe it has become a bit 'sticky' over time?

Re: Long time road going 164 Q4 1994 project

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 ...

Re: schock absorber

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.
