actuator

My actuator has failed, i've tested it and once vacuum just drops off. Where is the best place to get a replacement, i've looked on ebay but i can't seem to see anyone selling the 150bhp ones. I'm also stuggling in finding part numbers, there are a couple of numbers on stickers (270706 121 and...

Hi All My 2014 Alfa mito has developed a fault which I believe is now quite common. The engine management light came on and a diagnostic check revealed fault code p1064 - sticking actuator solenoid on cylinder 4. Only misfires fron cold and runs fine when warmed up. Any easy fix or is it a...

My engine is in limp mode and would like to lock the swirl flaps. I have read about disconnecting the balljoint from the actuator arm. However it looks like that this is different for a 1.9 jtdm 16v. I cannot find this balljoint. All subjects are for the 2.4 engines. Is it possible to lock swirl...

My 147's boot stopped opening when pressing the related keyfob button or the boot release button on the dash. The actuator was heard like working just fine but could not open the boot. The problem is that the actuator has plastic gears inside, which they tend to break. The fix is to replace the...

Hi, my GT 1.9 JTDm CF4 had a faulty thermostat when I bought it and I changed it after a couple of days (along with the oil cooler). I hadn't really driven the car other than very gently before I did the work as I was nervous of the corroded pipes to the oil cooler. I noticed afterwards that...

Hi all! I replaced my knackered Idle Speed Actuator with a used unit and reset it. It's gently 'finding its feet' but I'm curious what your experiences were like when you reset its parameters - how long did it take to idle fully normally? With the AC off it's 95% great, but with the AC on it's...

Hi everyone - I'm finally getting round to repairing the A/C on my car (blowing hot air since I first bought her and recycle function has been 'clicking') and need to source a heater flap motor / actuator. I've tried to find the exact part reference number via EPer but to no avail so far (I have...

Hi all, It seems the idle hunting issue I reported earlier hasn't really been resolved, and I might be in need of a new idle speed actuator. The scary thing is that they're not made any more! Does anybody have a spare they're looking to sell, or can point me at a resource that has? Thanks!

I've a 147 Ducati and I'm trying to remove the clutch actuator arm so that I can try and lubricate the bushes on the shaft as my clutch feels awful after about 20/30 mins (but does this sporadically), but it's well seized on to the splines. This is the 2nd time I've tried and it's still...

Hey guys, I've got hot air blowing on the drivers side and AC to tepid temps (depending on the heat of the motor) on the passenger's side. Does anyone have any pics of the Air Blend Actuator, where it is ect? I've seen guides for the 156 and pulled out the glove box looking for it. But it...

My 147 jtdm 16 valve has been stood for a while. I don't remember any faults before but since I've started using it again its developed a hesitation. I seems to hold back and then suddenly take off. I'm an ex mechanic but very rusty - I'm guessing at a turbo actuator fault. I had the same...

Just been informed I need a new selespeed actuator at a cost of 1400 pounds... Can anyone point me in a cheaper direction? :cry:

Hello, I've been an Alfo owner for the past 5 years and I've only just decided to join in because I've just been told I need a new Selespeed Actuator for my Alfa 147 (Y reg) and was wondering if anyone could help me find a cheaper route to fix my problem? I've been quoted at 1400 pounds for a...

Hi Will a 156 Selespeed Actuator fit a 147? bit of a long shot but im clutching at straws as this is an expensive part otherwise im scrapping my alfa and i can safely say will never buy another one again...:(

Hello there, Just recently i have had the selespeed sensor changed as the car gears were jumping from 5th to reverse and 1st etc. Since having the sensor changed the selespeed system is working ok....however last week when starting the car it wouldn't let me put the car into first gear. It...

My 147 selespeed went to the garrage and after a week of trying to find the error they finaly said i need a replacement actuator, basically the car goes into all gears except reverse , the examiner is clueless and doesn't report any error , does anybody know of something else that can be wrong....

Hi All, I'm 99.99% certain that the actuator has gone on my 200 156 Selespeed :cry: I can get hold of an actuator from a breakers (comes with 60 day guarantee) for ~£200. Is it easy enough to change the actuator my self? Is is just a case of changing it & away I go - no more jobs to do...

With the ingnition switched on but the engine not running, I can hear a humming/buzzing coming from the idle actuator on top of the throttle body ('99 TS). It sounds a bit like an electric toothbrush but a little quieter. I don't know if this is a new fault or maybe I just haven't heard it...

When doing an Idle Actuator reset on Alfadiag all it states is to turn the ignition off (from pos1 I guess) for 90 seconds. Are you then meant to switch it back to pos1 for 90 secs before starting, and do you still need to allow to idle for a while as with a normal reset? thanks.

Hi everyone, have problem with my 156 selespeed missing 3rd gear when warm. Is it the selespeed actuator that needs replacing from alfa about £900 quid for part. Been trying to get a recon one and got quoted £150 with 3 month warranty. Could this be the right item or am i getting it mixed up...
