Been thinking about getting my first Alfa. This one is out of the running.

Sorry for the hassle but a differential pressure test would show a cracked valve or head in a minute. Not to mention more advanced and modern diagnostics way ✌️

A la fin qu'elle était le problème ? Merci

Wow what an absolute nightmare for you. I started out with guys like you back in 78 im now 62 and do not enjoy modern stuff anymore due to crazy design and poor quality. Wishing you all the best from my little workshop here in France. Looking forward to the next update.

Washer bottle bracket is rusted here. Why oil it up? Its gone.

A nightmare indeed ! I despair with the design & poor engineering these days. The simplest engineering tends to be the most reliable. Best of luck anyway it's an interesting job for us viewers & on the positive side the owner is lucky to have you on the job. Regards Paul

It would also be interesting to hear your opinion about the whining noise these engines make (clearly audible when you rev the engine). I tried a few different cars at the dealership for comparison, and they all had this strange whining noise. I didn’t like that noise, so the dealer decided to replace parts under warranty for €5,000 (including the labor, balance shaft, oil pump, and more). However, the whining noise didn’t go away, the car still running without issues

What’s the mileage of that Stelvio?? Multiair engine is notorious for service. Like many italians say, KEEP OUT from the turbo, keep it simple. Long live FIRE 8v/16v🇮🇹🇮🇹

What an interesting video. Knock on wood nothing will happen to my 2.2 Diesel Giulia. Cheers from France.

Head gaskets are a known problem for MY 2016-2020. Stelvio/Giulia 2.0L

Me vabbè so capit

Dear Eddy, this is Andrea from Italy. I'm a reciprocating plunger pump designer for a famous Italian multinational company. From my experience as a designer of piston pumps, I offer an overhaul service of Multiair block, and, if necessary, parts replacement. Do you have a broken Multiair block? Would you be interested in sending it to me? Thank you and congratulation for your channel. ing. Andrea O.

super I also have an Alfa Romeo 156, only 2.5 busso and turbo

Excellent very interesting..

thats the old school mechanics find the problem not just swap parts and hope you can solve the problem.your a honest man god bless we need prople like you

Multiair is incredibly simple once you understand what it does, unfortunately your average parts changer doesn't understand the process of elimination to diagnose it. Injectors have become very reliable, to the point that it would be my absolute last guess. Scummy dealer shops are why people stop buying their cars because they assume $3000 was actually needed to fix it, when all it needed was a few hours of diag and $100 worth of seals. Personally on Chevy V8's I have seen dried pickup tube gaskets go bad and cause low oil pressure. People put in long blocks when all it needed was a $20 gasket and 1 hour of time.

I will drop the mito and tonale in .

So was the moral of the tale , petrol engine like to have petrol.😮😮

Part 2?

Iconic mint Alfa ..

Immaculate

Question hopefully you can help me I recently got P0299 code for under pressure turbo, have you ever felt with this? Or anyone else

Fabulous colour ❤

How do we buy these O rings?

good luxury cars even for the mto

It's not hip hop style, you idiots!

Top man, dealerships need more guys like this to properly diagnose and repair cars. Problem is they won't pay them the money there worth. 35 years in the motor trade from apprentice to technican to service advisor workshop controller to manager...experienced it all . Pay people what they are worth.

Hello Alfaman would this issue cause a sputter and misfire code for cylinder 3 if this part was faulty? I have new spark plugs, no smoke out the exhaust and fresh oil change and the car sputters at full throttle and causes misfire code and limp mode..

I love the way this man cares about the customer. But after 14 Alfa’s I am now very glad with my BEV. It has no injectors, no militair and no O ring 😉

It's not just dealerships! I cut my teeth at an Alfa dealer 40 years ago so the era of the Alfasud, first 33's, 116 Giuliettas etc. Thirty years ago(!), a guy brought an Alfasud 1.5 Ti to me for two front calipers. A well known Alfa specialist from that city in north Somerset/Avon had rebuilt both heads at an astronomical £1200 - twice what the job was worth in 1994 money. The owner was told the car needed new calipers as they would not adjust up. He wasn't convinced, so he brought it along. 30 minutes later, new pads were fitted and the calipers adjusted....on some cars the adjusters worked back to front. Our expert didn't know. The biggest problem was the lack of ooomph and the dreadful gearbox rattle at idle. I did a compression test and it was 160 psi one side and about 70 the other. Yep, the cam timing was wrong by one tooth on the NS bank. An hour later it was all corrected - the car had it's 105 bhp back and as it idled properly now, the gearbox rattle had gone. As ever, you just need to find someone half decent. Very well done of diagnosing this one. I wouldn't know where to start. 😂 I've subscribed!

I’ve bought for my car skf kit without water pump The belt is made in UK All bearings including tensioner made in France Water pump got it separate HEPU made in Germany, has even aluminium rotor I’m from Romania 🇷🇴 I hope it last The kit in the car was genuine Audi (contitech belt and ina bearings) After 9 years and 110.000 km was just perfect Only the arrow in the tensioner slightly under the mark Bought for my wife bmw 118d skf water pump and is made in china I hope it last I bought skf aux belt tensioner and is made in china with slightly play in the bearing Quality it’s going downhill everywhere

Alfaman is my hero!

Which tool or parameter of the diagnostic tells you which cylinder is misfiring please?

Great video, unfortunately it is typical how many dealers (not all) operate. Profit on number 1. True passionate mechanics like this gentleman actually find and fix the issue for a much better reward; a happy customer that can enjoy his Alfa as it should be. Keep it up sir! 👍

Hey how you doing Mr.alfaman I have a 2018 stelvio my vehicle continue to show auto start and stop and service electronic throttle I can take the battery cable off it clears it until I put it in drive and it returns back to limp mode can you help me

I will bring my mito and tonale ..

This gentleman is good and an Alfa Romeo man …👍🏻

Great man.

My Grande Punto Tjet has snapped in exactly the same place as I am changing my manifold as it is cracked. Only issue for me is my extractor bit has snapped off inside so I need to grind a hole out now :( In the end I did manage to weld a nut on the end and get it out that way.

Great video once again 👍. Thank you.

This is the problem today. The “mechanics” at dealerships cannot do not want to do diagnostics like this gentlemen. This is how most mechanics use to be, now we have people that can change plugs and oil which I can do myself

I have just found that guy that isn't just a "parts swapping mechanic" and solves problems methodically and efficiently, I m a new sub 😊 I am an electrician who has completely rebuilt a opel vivaro engine on my own, no experience prior. I got a "mechanic " to time the engine as I wasn't confident enough myself, big mistake, with drawings on a PC he timed it wrong and I've wasted €1500 in parts. Very few people out there that deserve to be called a mechanic except for guys like this channel 👍

This is exactly how it's done. Systematic testing of potential failure points. $1 part. Subscribing and liking. Kudos.

Dealership monkeys. They cannot and should not be able to call themselves " technicians " or even " mechanics " as sll they do is throw parts ar the cars hoping it eill fix the problem.

Can a client somehow protect him/herself against dealership's stupidity and carelessness? Is there a real law in EU for this, that says, that you don't have to pay for labor/parts, when dealership's best work is by guessing changing parts and not proper fault finding using logic and diagnostics (read: skills)? It seems that these days, dealerships are staffed by mechanics who are only part swappers.

Even the pictures are oldschool B/W from analogue 📸

Dear Sir As an Alfa collector,I salute and respect you and your professional atitude.

Wonderful tech! This man knows his stuff!!! Multiair is actually very reliable. But needs some TLC. And this man figures it out. I have such a great mechanic in the Netherlands too. (Homan Bedum). Mechanics like this are worth their weight in gold. Dealerships only want to sell cars (the majority), and many brands dont back their customers up with service or good quality anymore either. So great mechanics become even more important.

Reminds me of my old man thanks
