- In this video I will be replacing the radiator on this 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L. Video was shot on two different Giulias but content is still accurate and can be used on any Giulia with a 2.0L engine.

The knowledge needed to do this and put it all back correctly blows my mind.
Thank you for taking the time to share you experience bro! , Im trying to rebuild my Giulia
A very different approach to this repair compared to when the dealership did my Auxiliary radiator, they ended up having to drain and refill the condenser.
This repair looks like the least intrusive of doing it.
Thanks for the detailed video.
Next is a turbo replacement and BCM.
That’s so weird, I wonder why they didn’t just do it this way. It saves about a good 45 minutes of having to evacuate and recharge the a/c. Turbo replacement is a fun one to be honest. Just gotta make sure all the gaskets are replaced during the procedure because they are all one time use. BCM is a piece of cake.
@@hycastro Looking at a 2018 Stelvio Quadrifoglio what are things I should lookout for and what are the common repairs?
Thanks for a thorough description
Much appreciated
Thanks for the support!
Awesome work man
Thank you!
Crazy to be replacing a radiator in a 5 year old car. Never seen that in any car. Hope it was covered under warranty, but seems unlikely
I love you bro. Real one!
Awesome, detaled video. Thanks.
Thanks for the love.
I just did this job in a 2017 guilia and it is possible to replace the radiator with only removing the undercover and fan shroud. Would I recommend doing it that way? Depends on your skill level but can save a lot of time
Great video. How to I remove the harness tht connects to the coolant temperature sensor for 2018 setlvio ti. the sensor connected to the return hose. not 1 video online anywhere. Dealership will not help. thanks.
Do you have any video of changing out a turbo?
Great work. So is this problem with radiators limited to 2017s or have you seen it on newer models? On my 2017 I had problems with a bleed valve on the turbo cooling system and another leak on a coolant hose.
17s and 18s have this common leak. It’s always on the top driver side outer portion of the radiator. I’ve also seen many of the plastic hoses fail over time as well as the bleeder on the heater hose.
@@hycastro I’m about to buy a 2018 are the replacement radiators like the 2019 radiators we’re not gonna have the repeat issue?
I have a 2018 Stelvio 2.0 sport and it has 72k miles and counting and it also has the leak on the drivers side tank area . Is the procedure the same as the Giulia or different ? Thanks in advance
On the crash bar, towards the right. What’s that air duct push air towards?
On the right? Are you referring to the right as in the driver side (looking from the front of the car) or the passenger side (known as the right side)
just going to bookmark 21:33 need to bleed out my alfa. still cant get it with any of the bleed screws on the radiator or those lines
Summary of service-“but wait there’s more”
Do you have to get the air out the system, I ask because on the highway driving my coolant hose bused and I had to pull over with car about to over heat and out more coolant in to make it home after most of it came out 😅 I replaced the cap and line but didn’t have the tools or resources to do that whole line sucked out for air
Yes it’s very critical to get all air out of any cooling system because it will cause your cooling system to not function correctly.
On the Stelvio 2.0 I noticed it has another 2 aditional small coolant radiators on the sides and the Giulia 2.0 doesn't.
You may be thinking of the quadrifoglio.
How much does a repair like this cost to do and is the issue bound to happen prematurely on all 17 and 18 Alfas? And at what mileage usually?
$1100 for me
So the most common years that leak are 17 and 18s. The part has been revised I believe 3-4 times so this last part number seems to be the proper fix. I can’t say for sure what mileage they tend to start leaking but most of the ones I’ve done have been under 30k miles. The cost usually depends on your shop labor rate and cost of parts. Could be anywhere from $1200-2500.
@@hycastro Have you ever done it more than once on the same car before?
I had my radiator replaced early this year , I have a 2000 built Rover 75 .
Ohhh , and still rocksolid and rustfree .
Cool story bro
That’s cool. Maybe some of these newer cars need to take into some old school technology in some of these weak areas.
Going to be replacing my turbo outlet o ring tomorrow any advise ?
Yes actually, do it with the vehicle bone cold and use some spray lubricant once you remove the t30 screw as well as the 10mm nut. Let it sit for about 15-30 minutes and wiggle the lines about 10 minutes in so the lubricant can penetrate. You don’t have to go crazy with the lube, just a quick squirt will do. The lubricant will burn off once you start the car back up.
@@hycastro appreciate it!
Need this done on my 2018 Giulia, can you say where you are located? Thanks!
Burlingame California. Check out my ig the.alfa.doctor
