Hello my name is Chris.
Why I bought a Alfa ?
Because my dad before got 2 164 3.0 12v and after this a 166 3.0 24v.
My dream was a V6 Alfa as first car and the dream came true.
A year ago I bought a 156 SW 2.5 CF3. The Temp gauge at this time was not working.
The Radiator was gone so I chanced it after I bought the car.
With The new Radiator in the car the Temp gauge suddenly were alive.
Between them, another battery was installed , before 72Ah now 60Ah is this a big problem?
After 3 Months the Temp Gauge was going off at 90°C.
After this I thought stat is gone so I got a new one and a new sensor.
With the old sensor same problem.
My Dashlight is flickering then the light is on. And in reverse my radio stop playing music for 1 second.
With another instrument the problem peresists.
In the ECU the Temp is ok.
I think its a earth problem from where the gauge is getting earth?
From where is the sensor getting earth, and which pin is earth ?
I also got a video what my Gauge is actually doing.
The real temp in the video was 80-90°C .
I hope someone can help me with my problem.
Many thanks in advance.
Sorry for my bad English Im from the Netherlands.
