Re: Engine out or leave it in for cambelt and clutch job?

yea, only one of the 2, i would leave it in.. but both of those jobs.. just lower the subframe with engine.. the subframe needs to loose anyway to remove the gearbox and that is a bitch.. so yea, lower the wole thing..

Re: 164 Q4 4WD light and reduced power?

Re: Alfa164Diagnostics

the airbag ecu is in the mid console close to the engine ecu.
You can check the yellow cable under the dashboard passenger side going up to the airbag itself.. maybe someone did "bridge" it so it's not in use with a little kid on the frontseat.. just a wild guess.. but since its shortcut...

Re: Alfa164Diagnostics

the question about shielded or not. The speed of the protocol is only 4800 baud. which is pretty slow.
I have seen original testers with 3 meters unshielded wire so i guess it should go just fine.

Re: Alfa164Diagnostics

Yeah that's what I have tried.
Light on the connector is on.
Green and Red lights in program on but turns off then I try to connect and the yellow light starts flashing.

The green light is not on, until I have pressed connect, so it seems you have different behaviour...

Re: Q4/QV/24V temperature issue

but still... 95 degrees is not that bad... it takes time to reach the radiator where the fan thermoswitch sits Try give it some more rpm on idle and see if the temparature drops.. i still think the waterpump does not pump enough on idle to keep it lower on temp..

Re: Alfa164Diagnostics

well.. the yellow light shows the connection request.
the green lights on received data
The red lights on sending data.
So it might the ecu is not responding.
Also set the buffers and responsetime for the port as low as possible.
What hardware do you use ? (PC)
