Alfa Romeo 164 1994-1997 Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
The Alfa Romeo 164 was the brands flagship executive sedan, developed in collaboration with Fiat, Lancia and Saab as part of the Type Four platform program. Designed by Pininfarina with sleek aerodynamic styling, the 164 competed in the D-segment luxury market against cars like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 1994-1997 models represented the later phase of production, featuring refined powertrains including the legendary Busso V6 engine and turbocharged four-cylinder options.
The Type Four platform produced four distinct cars, each sharing core engineering but with unique styling and tuning. The Alfa 164 was known for its front-wheel drive layout, advanced suspension geometry and distinctive Italian design. For enthusiasts, the 164 offered a blend of sporting character and executive refinement available in few other sedans.
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Alfa Romeo 164 was Alfas answer to the premium European executive sedan market. Produced from 1987 to 1998, the later 1994-1997 models benefited from years of refinement. The Pininfarina-styled body was aerodynamic ahead of its time. Under the hood, buyers could choose from several engines: the iconic 3.0-liter Busso V6 producing up to 210 horsepower in Quadrifoglio trim, a 2.0-liter V6 turbo variant, and refined four-cylinder Twin Spark engines. The front-wheel drive chassis featured sophisticated double wishbone front suspension and MacPherson strut rear design, delivering handling that matched the cars sporting aspirations.
