As a reply to myself: the culprit is the ECU :sad-011:
I need to find another one. Any advice?
I want to add a relay to the fuel pump circuit to try to remedy the problems I'm experiencing with intermittent electrical problems. Adding a relay and a fuse won't be a problem, but I'm stumped as...
The idler was the cause for the whining. I think the tightness of the belt was also contributing to the sound. I'm still uncertain of the correct tightness as the belt feels quite loose.
wrinx: I...
Here's a short video of the noise.

I slackened the the belt a tiny bit (twice) as I was sure it was too tight, but maybe I didn't detension enough. The video was...
What are the typical causes for a noisy (squeaky) cambelt? The waterpump and alternator are not the culprits. When cold the noise disappears but when run to normal temp the squeak returns.
The...
Loads done this summer although the most notable difference is a Q4 -badge :) In the background is my latest project.

Very interesting and useful stuff! Got started today as I dropped the rear axle and propshaft off. I have the seals and bearings for the side casing flanges and the front bearing to the "torque...
My first car was a -74 Manta :) I had it painted bright yellow and it had black vinyl top and tinted windows. Lovely motor :)
But I've always wanted a Lancia Flaminia Pininfarina coupe...
Old thread, but this job is on my to-do-list. A distinctive slack in the drivetrain has prompted me to do the rebuild. Both the side bearings are quite wobbly and I'll have to check the pinion...
Looks absolutely brilliant!!! Love it.
It would be very interesting to see images of the suspension set-up.
I bought hog ring pliers and hog rings. I just made leather seats for my Q4 from 156 leather covers. Some extensive modifying and head scratching was necessary :thinking-011:
I got the car with Squadra chip and would like to test the original chip. I'm experiencing a slight notch on the overrun and was thinking maybe the original programming is a bit smoother. I get a...
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I also have misplaced mine and need one. It's the one with Turbo 16v. -script.
Very nice! Awesome job mate :)
I think I have a spare one. I'll check tomorrow.
Brilliant! Thanks :thumb:
Tested the resistances and earths and pin 1 voltage and all tested ok. Seems like the next step is to test with a new ABS ecu. Noticed also there's one for sale in the...
Thanks for the info guys.
Just checked the fuses which are all ok in the main and auxiliary fuseboxes. I also measured the resistances on the wheel sensors which are 1,5k in front and 1k at the...
Car has been working nicely the whole winter until I put the missing radio back on a week back. I had to remove the boost gauge for that and the gauge lamp caused a short to blow a fuse. It could be...
Car turned over and started allright. The noises it makes though are quite horrible. Luckily a local mechanic promised to change the p/s fluid to a fully synthetic today so hopefully it'll be a bit...
It was -22C when I started the car this morning. It seems it's about time to change the p/s fluid and also the throttle was sticking quite a bit. Oh and the cambelt tensioner bearing is whining too....
It was an OEM mirror and the cover was not painted. Now is the time to stock every mirror that is in good condition I think :)
I tried to find driver's side mirror a few months back - ended up ordering a new one from here. Not cheap though - I paid €280 for mine.
The old pump was tired and it ran out of puff under acceleration. With the new pump the fuel pressure shoots straight to four bars when accelerating. The old one produced only 3,2 bar. I left the old...
I've been meaning to check the tps voltage for some time and will do it tonight. Startrek seems to indicate it is fine though.
@Jack: I read an old topic of your problems with the car and the...
Went for a drive last friday with a pal and wanted to show how cool the car was. Car decided to have a bad day and it felt sluggish and ran quite lean under boost and there was some popping and...
