Hello, I was wondering if anyone with more experience could hint at what has happened to my alfa. While driving at circa 70km/h the brake pedal went stiff for a few seconds which was quite scary, however, after stopping for a visual inspection and setting off again, the brakes have worked fine...

After a long 3 weeks over Christmas without my car I finally have it back with a new wheel bearing and suspension arm! Only issue is I now have ABS, VDC, ASR and HH unavailable warnings each start up. I gave the car a good run and even charged the battery thinking it could be on it's way out...

A simple enough job: replace upper and lower wishbones and driveshaft (the LH one with intermediate bearing. I did the other side a couple of years ago, and expected it to take 3hrs. 2 days so far....It all went OK until I found I could not separate the upright from the upper wishbone balljoint...

Hello all, my 156 V6 Sportwagon has developed a strange fault in the last few days. The brakes will randomly come on and stick on. All 4 brakes heat up as the car grinds to a halt. When this happens the brake pedal is solid and cannot be pushed down. If left for half an hour or so the system...

Morning all. I have bled all the calipers and the master cylinder in my 2005 1.9 GT and I still have a brake pedal that starts firm but slowly sinks to the floor. In total, I have done this at least 10 times and the fluid in the system is completely flushed. I want to try bleeding from the ABS...

Hi Guys and gals! At a bit of a loss here with the electrics on my MiTo. Started having warning lights pop up whenever I would press the brake pedal (losing ABS, steering corrector etc) and the car would force itself back into 'Normal' mode. Then the instrument cluster died, which was a blown...

Hello, Finally Got myself a new ECU. The new unit should be virginized, but the car wont start.. The code light is on, and I have a lot of errors; ABS ASR etc. on the dash.. When I connect to the engine ECU thers no fault codes. For the selespeed ECU there are U1701 - can network NCR - NCM and P...

I'm have now got to the point where my hair is pulled out... So I need a Bosch ABS module on my 156 V6 Sportwagon. I know there are 2 versions (with or without VDC). I have a 2005 facelift model so need the later type with VDC. Looking at Bosch part numbers, every part number seems to be...

Hello alfa owners, I recently bought a second hand (2006) 147 jtd 1.9 with a lot of kilometers (250 000km), it had a clutch problem that I'm taking care of today, installing a new kit, I suspect electrical problems because when I turn the key, the first 10 seconds I hear noises on the speakers...

Hey guys I don't know whether you can help but I have got the following problem. I bought a 147 back in June and I have been working my way through the many problems, most of them electrical. The one remaining problem, I don't even know where to start. The ASR light is permanently on but having...

As title says why is there such a big price difference depending on where you purchase ? Looking for front nearside sensor. Alfa Workshop is POA around the £70 mark and Buy car parts is £20. Both are Bosch. Am i missing something obvious Many Thanks Pete

Hi I've got a 147 1.9jtdm which I'm having some issues passing the mot. The abs / esp light is on all the time and I read the code using alfadiag / multiecu scan which said both front wheels have spotted) a speed sensor wiring issue. However the car reads speeds when driving and I'm skeptical...

The ABS light came on during a journey a few weeks ago. I can live without it as I am quite capable to cadence brake in the unlikely event I might need to, however the MOT man would not agree. So I got a friend to plug in his lap top and the ECU tells us that the right [o/s] rear sensor has a...

Hi guys, I have had an ABS warning light and an airbag warning light come on the dashboard of my 2001 916 3.0L V6 Spider. Additionally, recently, the car has made a strange noise going round right turns. My mechanic has been playing with this for a couple of days now and tells me that he now...

Hi All, I need to replace both front ABS sensor cables. I can see how to connect the brake caliper end, but where does the other end of the cable connect to? Presumably an ECU somewhere but where? Any assistance appreciated. Cheers Alan.

Dear Forum Members, I'm about to have my ABS pump (not the control unit) replaced due to reappearing fault code C1131 (integrated pressure sensor). Searching by the catalogue part number 71740274 only yields new units (roughly 1000-1200 quid), and used/refurbished parts sellers provide only the...

Here's the original thread for a 156 TwinSpark whose problems are eerily similar to what I and a ton of fellow GTV owners have been having: Has anyone managed to implement this? I haven't found a similar wire in the GTV's instrument cluster wiring diagram, but perhaps a GTV-specific fix has...

When coming to a stop, the ABS kicks in and you feel a grind under the pedal. There are no ABS lights on the dash and I have done an OBD ECU scan and there are no errors showing. Does anyone know the cause/solution of this problem?

Hi, does anyone know if I can just change an ABS ECU? I have reason to think mine is faulty. I have MultiECUScan to do a proxy alignment if required, but what issues might arise when I do this? FYI, the replacement ECU has the same numbers on the ECU label as the original. thanks, Andy

Morning all, I've been having some issues with my ABS warning and Handbrake warning light coming on in recent weeks. The car is a 2000 V6 Phase II (CF3) Spider. The lights are not always on, I start the car in the morning and can drive normally for a number of hours and they remain off...
