Hello I'm trying to diagnose the climate control system on my 2004 ALFA 166 3.0 Sportronic Lusso. Alas my AUTEL MD808 Pro doesn't get very far with - well almost anything - and neither does almost any other piece of equipment tried! Does anyone have a copy of the OFFICIAL Fiat/Alfa diagnostic...

Hi Everyone I have recently happily purchased my second Mito. (My 3rd Alfa). When I bought the car I noted to the dealer that the parking sensors did not work, following a discussion, and a discount on the price, I drove it away with the intention of sorting the sensors out myself. Initially, I...

Hello! I have been trying to find why my Alfa is misfiring and has a rough idle. It is Alfa 1.8 TS 1998. The sparks are new, after a change of some components it is much better but still there a lag in acceleration, rough idle and not so much a misfire but strong push pull on certain RPMs...

Had the following message this morning after the car struggled to start in the cold... Motor Control System Failure. I let the car warm up a little bit, then switched it off and started it up again, the message was still there. I suspect my battery is on it's way out as starting has been...

Greetings all, So my first post on my first Alfa...:) 1996 Spider 2.0 Twin Spark. CF1 engine AFAIK. Just bought the car and it has failed its MOT with the ABS warning light on...:( It lights on start-up and goes out after a couple of seconds. However I count to 10 and it has re-appeared...

I finally found my diagnostic cables after a 2 to 3 month search through the whole house. Because someone put it in a packet under my hiking bags that I haven't used in a decade... I sometimes wonder... But I digress. I have been driving with my ecu light on for about 4 months now and decided...

Hi Guys, So I went and got the cables to diagnose my airbag/Abs lights, and downloaded Multiecuscan. Its a 2000 156 1.8TS, with no seat airbags. Using the KKL with green cable, I got the following codes for the ABS - 09 Front Left Speed Sensor in OC - generic-intermittent -20 0B Front Right...

I'm new to Alfas but have history with VAG cars... In that world people would use VCDS (vagcom) for the diagnostics and a cracked copy of the stealer's ETKA parts system. What are the equivalents for Alfas? I guess MultiECUScan would look after the diagnostics but what about the parts software...

I recently bought an OBDII bluetooth dongle/"thingy" from eBay, there are loads on there - you probably all know the ones, they are based on something called ELM327 and they all look similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321370571723 Anyway for £5.25 I thought I'd give it a punt. The...

Has anybody ever managed to connect to the Spider phase II (that means 16pin OBD connector) roof ECU? I was not succesfull with ALFA OBD or MULTIECUSCAN (and KKL USB OBD 2 cable with built-in pin switch)... Maybe it is necessary to use 16pin to 3pin reduction and connect via 3pin connector in...

Hello, Can someone please point me in the direction of a good quality, reasonably priced Diagnostics cable that I can use for my Giulietta with MultiEcu scan. I already have a KKL vagcom cable and a set of 3 adapters which work perfectly on the GTV. The multiecuscan website shows that I need...

Evening gents, I've got a 2000 (X reg) Alfa 156 2.0 TS, and I've got an engine management light that doesn't go away, the fault code is classed as "undocumented" and is not a usual one from my understanding. The code on the diagnostics computer was given as: 1689h / 5769, it would be very...

I've had the GTV (2000 X reg, 2.0 TS) in the workshop, sorting out some of the niggles, since getting back on the road. One of which was the heater stuck on all the time, which turned out to be a failed stepper motor, so pulled one off the donor 156, and fixed that. However now that we have a...

So I bought an OBDII wireless (elm327) interface off ebay. Guess I should have read more forum threads before I ordered. It was very cheap though, so meh, I'm sure I'll be able to find a use for it some day... Anyway, as far as I understand, it can't be used on my 166. I'm still a bit confused...
