HELP !!

[markgq4]

hello fellow q4 owners old and new :)
havent been here for a while but have finally got around to putting the Q car back on the road, hooray.
so i started with changing the belts etc only to find 2 of the bolts holding the bottom pulley had "welded" themselves in place and the pulley to the engine !
i did manage to remove it eventually

Result : one mashed bottom pulley. as you expect the dealers want silly money,

so am hoping someone will be able to tell me if the 16v `grale (or another fiat group car) might use the same pulley? then i might have a chance of finding used part ? ?

ps its the outer one that runs belt for alternator and water pump.
thanks, Mark.

good luck mark

Hi Mark,

Try a Fiat Coupe 16vT and www.fccuk.org/forum

[j1v]

They are all the same as far as I've seen. Tipo, dedras etc.

I must have one or two of these (I've made myself an aluminium pulley, that drives the eaton) PM me if you're looking for a used one

thanks very much for the replies everyone. :)

i will try some local fiat breakers first of all.....

good luck, what I have heard lately is that fiat(/alfo romeo) is having trouble with their retailers not shipping parts accordingly to the orders so a major lockdown is in place, but I could be wrong, maybe only concerns sweden (denmark,norway and finland?)
from the info I got the problem should be solved later this month, then fiat is selling their own parts without middlehands :)

borrowing the thread a little: anyone having the front list under right headlight next to the grill for sale?

In caseanyone has similiar trouble in the future, John Whalley of whalleys integrale garage in london sent me the following information:

"Available new @ ?188-00 + VAT
Second hand: (same part from)
Fiat PC coupe 2.0 1994 -96
Fiat tipo 1750-2000 1993-95
Dedra 1750 -2000 1990-94
New Delta - not in UK
But NOT the Integrale"


i think i have found one at a breakers in the midlands on a fiat coupe. Woohoo !
