  1. Giulia (2017-current)
    My alfa has been jerking lately. This has been happening at speeds below 30mph. I haven't find a new repair shop since my old repair guy moved a few months ago. Issue is Alfa Westbury and alfa Patchogue dont take my extended Warranty. Any advice?
  2. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    I just recently bought a 164L with a zf automatic transmission. Around 2 days after I bought the car, I noticed a squealing noise coming from what I believe to be the transmission. I could only really hear it in 1st and 2nd gear. I decided to keep driving it until I could get to a mechanic, and...
  3. Electrical, Chassis & Lighting
    Hello everyone! I have a situation with my Alfa Mito. TL;DR Start/stop not working, some kind of sensor fell off, how can I put it back on? So I was going through a toll and the barrier suddenly closed down on me so I had to do a really hard break. The car engine stopped for some reason and...
  4. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Has anyone rebuilt the mirror switches for a series 2 164? Am in process of rebuilding the mirrors and planning to rebuild/repair the switches too.
  5. Giulia (2017-current)
    Hi all! As the title says, my sunroof is stuck in the tilted open position. When I press the button to shut it, I can hear the motor running but nothing happens. At this point I don't really care if it ever opens again after this, I just want it sealed shut. Right now the only things keeping it...

    Recently, a friend asked if I could help repair his old Spider. I said yes not knowing how complicated it would be compared to fixing (my) old 1976 Ford F-100. Well, all I know is that he got a new distributor, spark plugs, and wires for them. So far, he has been able to get the engine to turn...
  7. Car Restoration
    Hi I'm currently restoring my grandmother alfa romeo spider, and the right top clamp is currently in the glove box. She used to put a lot of force to close it down, until the metal gave way, and stretched the top clamp's holes. I am looking for some advice to have to repair it. I could buy a...
  8. Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires
    While cleaning and preparing to rebuild the front suspension on my 69 GTV, I found this tear in the sheet metal of the drivers side front shock mount structure. Can the group offer any advice on the best way to repair this situation? Is it acceptable to MIG weld a bead over the tear? Or is it...
  9. Alfetta & GTV6 (1972-1986)
    As I posted last week, I wrote a three-part essay about my questionable decision to try to fix my mutt of a 1979 Sport Sedan with little more than a Haynes manual and the support of "Car Twitter." I had no experience and no skills. Hell, didn't even have tools. The first part when live today at...
  10. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Thought I'd share pics of my repair effort. I hit a pretty good bump in my new-to-me 164S and the upper console fell down, only anchored by the rear. I guess if I'm going to be introduced to 1990's Italian plastics, this is the piece. The console surround was in 4 pieces and had been epoxy'd at...
  11. Spider - 105 & 115 Series (1966-1994)
    Does anybody know how I might repair the three horn buttons on the steering wheel of my 1982 Spider, a Holloboro steering wheel. The heart of the wheel, where the three button spokes are attached and where the electrical switches are, seems to be plastic (polypropylene?) and is currently...
  12. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, After having a couple of jacking points welded up, one front one rear, have been trying to coat the welds from behind by pumping/spraying anti-corrosion stuff in - without much success. For the rear took out the side carpet in the boot and the sound proofing piece of sponge, fitted into...
  13. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Took a brand new Bosch 164 climate control apart today, to convert if from LHD to RHD and thought some pics might be helpful to others. Worth nothing is this unit had Torx T6 screw heads, not Philips cross heads as on others. Where you see the thin clear plastic sheets over the PCBs and...
  14. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Have seen someone galvanise a 164 rear subframe on another site. Has anyone here tried it? Was wondering if the process could distort the shape.
  15. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Opened a 1995 164 twinspark AFM, planning to reposition the carbon track, and now need to refix the plastic top. How? It was originally bonded on with a rubber compound and had planned to do the same but surely it would need to be one that doesn't give off volatile fumes when curing? Once...
  16. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Hi, Have posted before about disappearing segments on a 1995 164 3.0 24v. Have today pulled out the console with a view to swapping the ribbon cable/LED itself from a 1995 16v twinspark 164. Both UK spec. Surprise, surprise for an Alfa - there are significant differences, despite the view from...
  17. Engine Repair, Diagnostics & Rebuilding
    I'm restoring a '67 Duetto with a 1600 and have just about finished tearing it down, but I've hit a road block (another!) and am not sure how I should proceed. My block has is damaged in two places - one cylinder and there's also a hole blown through one side. Is this salvageable and if so...
  18. 164 & 168 (1991-1995)
    Does anyone know what is involved in patching front and rear 164 (all models) jacking points? Welding heat wise, does the carpet need to come out for the fronts and the rear seats for the rear? I don't weld so going to have to pay someone to do mine but it will reduce costs if I can prep it...
