Engine Specifications
|
|
Primary Engine
|
|
Engine Type:
|
V6 (likely 3.0L Busso V6 for most 164 models of this era, though specific engine variants within the 1992 model year might exist).
|
|
Performance
|
|
Horsepower:
|
Varies by specific engine variant, but typically in the 190-210 hp range for the 3.0L V6.
|
|
Torque:
|
Varies by specific engine variant, typically around 245-260 Nm for the 3.0L V6.
|
|
Fuel System
|
|
Fuel Delivery:
|
Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection (EFI).
|
|
Engine Management
|
|
Ignition System:
|
Electronic ignition system with distributor-less ignition on some later models or distributor with coil-on-plug.
|
|
Engine Control Unit:
|
ECU control for fuel injection and ignition timing, with diagnostic capabilities.
|
|
Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for specific oil viscosity and grade.
|
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
Crucial for V6 engines. Typically every 60,000-90,000 km or 5-7 years. Failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
|
|
Fluid Specifications
|
|
Engine Oil Specification:
|
API SG or higher, SAE 10W-40 or 5W-40 depending on climate. Refer to manual for exact specification.
|
|
Coolant Specification:
|
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio. Specific type may be indicated in the manual.
|
|
Brake Fluid Specification:
|
DOT 3 or DOT 4. Regular flushing recommended.
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
Electrical Gremlins:
|
Commonly reported issues include aging wiring harnesses, faulty relays, and intermittent electrical faults due to the complexity of the electrical system and material degradation over time.
|
|
Cooling System Issues:
|
Radiator leaks, hose deterioration, and thermostat failures can occur.
|
|
Suspension Wear:
|
Bushings and ball joints can wear out, leading to degraded handling and ride quality.
|
|
Engine Mounts:
|
Degradation of engine mounts can lead to increased vibration and noise.
|
|
Filter Part Numbers
|
|
Oil Filter Part Number:
|
Refer to specific parts catalog or manual for 1992 Alfa Romeo 164 3.0L V6 (e.g., Mann W930/21, Mahle OC25).
|
|
Air Filter Part Number:
|
Refer to specific parts catalog or manual for 1992 Alfa Romeo 164 3.0L V6 (e.g., Mann C30120/1).
