  1. I've been living with a 156 Selespeed Sportwagon for the past six months. It's had a bit of a dodgy past - forged service history from the last owner and plenty of problems to shake down in making the car reliable, which it is now, more or less. The engine management light has been on since I bought the car, and appears to have been there for some time before that. I have checked the codes and they are P0500 and U1706. I can clear these with MultiEcuscan, but they reappear immediately. I've found some reference to when the car was sold to it's last owner before me. At the time, it was suggested the ABS controller had been swapped to one from a different variant and that this was causing the error codes. This seems plausible, does anyone have an alternative view on this? If this proves to be the case, how do I identify the correct controller? I can find the correct Alfa part numbers, but these bear no relation to the manufacturers labels attached to secondhand units - there are no labels visible on the currently fitted controller.. A genuine 'new' controller would cost more than the car is worth and simply isn't going to happen. According to ePER the part number I need is 71716575 Any help greatly appreciated. Bill
