Re: Tuning a 147 2.0 t.s.

This could be anything from a wheel rotation speed sensor, a blown fuse (the first thing to check IMO), the ABS control unit (this will be expensive to replace) or even just a dying battery.

In any case be careful when you brake hard. If the ABS control unit is out the EBD is also not working so your braking may be too rear-wheel biased and the car may tend to spin if the rear wheels lock.

And if you are really, really serious about more horsepower for your Alfa, I would go to AHMotorsport But serious money is involved as well
