Please never stop doing these. Looking into getting a guilia mid to late next year and am starting the research early. God bless
Thanks I’ll keep it up!
Saved my life with disconnecting the battery. Was stuck in the middle of the desert with no way to get home
I’m glad it worked out for you! Sometimes it helps even if it’s just a temp solution. Thanks for watching
I have 2017 Giulia, 65K miles. Never a problem to fix mechanically, had the start/stop issue a year ago but new battery fixed all that. Pretty much anything with strange new dash lights or warnings, replace the battery first. These cars have a lot of tech that uses the battery and when the battery gets a little older, non-critical features start shutting themselves off to save the battery for its most important job: starting the engine. That's it; like a Camry to me so far.
Yeah I agree battery is the only thing I have replaced that was necessary. I’m almost at 50k now. I replaced the relays only because they are known to fail so I wanted to raise awareness on this it’s not just on the giulia those relays just suck in general for longevity. I’m tuned so my start stop doesn’t even show up anymore, but the no crank is the main issue that happens with the relays and that’s not a battery related issue. You can use software like MES to show the exact percentage of battery charge status when it hits below 70 defrosters things like that will cut off like you mentioned.
I have 2017 with 52000 miles I have had all these issues. They are all simple fixes, but very frustrating if you don't know what is going on. Thanks so much for this really informative video. Alfa should send you a check! If you have an original battery just replace it. Came with Lead Acid, should have AGM which is widely available (got mine at NAPA).
Hook up to a trickle charger if not using the car often...
Just went through it with mine ,fixed as of 10 minutes ago ,drove me loopy for months 😂😂
Basically all CANBUS cars can go haywire if the voltages aren't perfect. The signals on the shared digital communication bus require everything to be at a proper voltage level, if not you can get very strange faults between seemingly unrelated components. It was never an issue on older cars where components were wired directly to each other (as necessary) and 'communicated' with analog signals (e.g., on an older car, the brake pedal switch closed a circuit that turned on the brake lights, whereas on a modern car it sends a signal that brakes have been pressed and a control module decides to turn on the brake lights).
Thanks so much for producing these videos. Super informative and useful for current and future Guilia owners. The Alfa owners of the world thank you for your service. 😁👌👍🥂
Ill be honest, I worked at a dealership. All these problems are common specifically with Chrysler products. (Especially Jeep)
Thanks for confirming this hopefully the video can help people out
Had to disconnect my battery cause of a blank screen fault I had this saved me a lot of headache screen is back on and no light on dash!! Thanks Man!
Awesome glad to hear that it came back on! This car is great but the electronics tend to glitch.
Gonna try these tips. Thanks. Considering the wife was going to take to dealership (250 diagnostic fee) you have saved me a great deal of money. Hard to find videos and info on this car that is legit.
I had centre speed display go blank and it was the DNA button wasnt in the correct DNA position - I was freaking out at first but just turned DNA knob and it was working again - Cheers for video mate !
I had every single problem what you explained in your videos , plus leaking radiator , distronic problem , headlamp switch problem , panoramic problem
I'm thinking this might not be the car for me, too many issues
Bought a used 41k matalic blue 2018. Became sluggish that very day. Installed today. Wow, this car is amazing!
Hey does, I’m a newbie Giulia owner of a used 2020 with 15k miles. These videos are awesome, I just had a dealer fix the Ava engine and auto issue related to evap module. I’ll be watching for any other dash lights otherwise my wife and I love the driving experience for sure!
Thank you I’m glad I can show some of the common problems we have with this otherwise amazing car. I’m at 50k now and still no issues. I have my start stop tuned off over all its better for the car in general, but I guess they have it for fuel economy increase.
Wow! Amazing channel content and people in the comments. More power to you all.
the look of this car!
Thank you so much
Alfa technician here.... the ASD (auto shutdown) relay is also a common failure. It will cause a crank no start condition.
Thank you for letting me know that hopefully I can add that into my next common issues video
Just the guy i wanna talk to. By crank no start, I'm assuming the engine is cranking without starting. Smart aren't I? Anyway, THAT is precisely what I have going on. Where do I find the ASD relay on the car? What is the best one to buy? Thanks in advance.
@@thomasbaytarian3342 The ASD relay is underneath the right headlight. There are 3 rectangular shaped pods that make up the aux PDC. Each pod has 2 relays inside. The ASD relay is in the outer-most pod and is the relay closer to the engine. I work at a dealership so I replace it with the OEM relay, but any relay will work. FYI the starter relay is in the inner-most pod and is the inner-most relay. Those are also a common failure and will cause a no crank situation. Nothing will happen when you press the start button.
Ok, so let me get tgus straight. If the car cranks and doesn't start, it's the ASD. And if it does nothing, it's the other? Because my turns over. Just doesn't fire.
This is exactly what my car is doing. ruclips.net/user/shortszFuwsQZr7q0?feature=share
Hey! Came across this video because I’m JUST now having a odd issue with my giulia 2018. I was thinking it was the battery going out cause it the original with the badge on it, but the no start or sometimes does or I’ll get it started and it pops up with a auto start stop issue but today it half started then cut off while a service engine light triggered. I believe this might help me so ima give it a try and I just want to say thanks because I’ve been looking around and you seem to know your shit that others aren’t showing and or saying. Big thanks man! 🙏🏽
Thank you for watching! I seriously hope this does help you out a lot of people have had intermittent problems as well with the starter relay. Honestly the relays are trash that’s why they updated them in the later years. Enjoy the car I hope you can have a good experience over all.
Did it help?
2018 Stelvio - 85k miles. Got a few issues but I love the car. I had the battery tested and it showed it was good but something was putting a slight drain on it when th ecar was shut off. After a long period of time it takes a few seconds to actually start when pressing the button. If you are only out of the car for a few minutes it starts immediately. At low speeds it seems to shift at improper RPM's. Slowing down it sometimes downshifts into a low gear at too high RPM. Accelerating from a "quick" stop at a stop sign it will be at too high of a gear and take a second to bump down to a lower gear to properly accelerate. I always here the computer "learns" as you drive but mine isn't learning 🙂. Last thing is I periodically get a windshield wiper alert - FOW front wiper limited functionality. The wipers seem to be fine. these don't really seem to affect overall performance of the car although the shifting is a bit annoying. Anything you know of that may cause these things or should I trade it ASAP???
Thanks for sharing. I had most of those issues. Finally they are gone. The dealer claimed that they replaced one of two fuel pumps. 2018 Stelvio
Really good video, two of the problems that i have were mentioned in the video, very nice video from someone that seems to know what it is talking about.
Thank you
Thank you very much! Thank you for the comment
I think mainly, change the battery as stock battery sucks, and then change the relays in the wheel liner. Mainly ASD, Water Pump and Starter..
Usually fixes most issues..
Sometimes the steering wheel part doesn’t clear everything and you need to drive it down the road. It’s not far, maybe a mile or 2 before everything is “flushed”.
I’ve heard there are many issues with the older models 2017 and lower especially 2017 …. About to get a 2019 and only heard about 3 problems ( the battery , the Aux relay on the right passenger panel , and radiator) … but overall the 2019 Giulia sport has no problems . At 32k miles I’m going to get her
Got my 2019 ti sport a week ago. Has 23300 miles and it is a pleasure to drive must say.
@@Rmainconnectgot one 3 days ago battery died and alternator is fucked
@punkstarnet mine is still stellar. No issues. Even did a 2000-mile road trip before Xmas. Battery does possibly have issues since that road trip caused the start, stop to begin working, but it has since been nonexistent. Heard it only works if it's holding a certain amount of charge and I do a lot of shorter trips.
One thing to add is #3 will eventually go to limp mode. Happened to me a few times.
I wish I could go back and add that your totally right. Glad you fixed your problem these relays suck there is an updated part but it’s 40 dollars
What is #3?
@@sahersesostris8332 #3 was the aux water pump relay. It sometimes will go out and won’t throw a code eventually it will. It’s main symptoms are bad performance
Yo DAWG ...much love brotha....James !!!
Had no choice to take my 19 Stelvio to a mechanic nearby me since the Alfa dealers don’t do diagnosis prob on weekends. Had a yellow check engine, red oil indicator, the stop/ start indicator all on.
Found out from the mechanic, there was Turbo contamination (oil mixture in the turbo) needs replacing and they can only purchase the OEM part. (Red oil light indicator reads the regular oil as well as the Turbo according to the Mechanic)
My power train Warrantee just expired this past March. Had my oil change done at the dealer back in March and you would think that they woulda told me or warned me about this prob before it happened. Turbo contamination just doesn’t happen overnight or even a in couple of months you would think.
This is a really unfortunate situation and I’m sorry that this happened to you. Oil contamination can cause the turbo to fail yes. Dirty oil or oil starvation can kill a turbo charger fast as they need oil to spin at the speeds they do they share the same supply as the rest of the car as you mention. I will leave you 2 links so you can maybe better understand your problem. Your turbo needs oil to operate. Now that the turbo needs replacement I would 100% let the dealership do it because if you let an independent do it and it has a specific code that cannot be cleared even after a new turbo has been installed dealers were sent info on this from Alfa saying after code P0244. See my links I will send 2. When you do get it fixed always always let your car cool down before turning off 2-3 min as this gives the turbo time to get lubricated with oil and cooled its in the owners manual not doing this can kill a turbo over time. Not saying that was your issue but just saying for future longevity of the new one.
Oil contamination
www.turbopacs.com/root-cause-analysis/oil-contamination/
Replacing failed turbo
www.giuliaforums.com/threads/turbo-replacement-not-compatible-with-ecu.57268/
Also after getting a fresh turbo, I would go and install a oil catch can and change the filter when you change the oil.
It'll catch any contamination and prevent it from reaching the turbo, extending the life of it.
Thanks for this sharing this info. I'm going to try the battery disconnect etc. I'm now running into a similar issue. After a few minutes putting the giulia into Dynamic mode, I got the Stop Start issue AND the Service Engine light come up. And now it's stuck in Natural mode. I'm fine with that, the car drives fine otherwise, just want to make sure it's nothing serious.
If your stuck in N mode then your in a limp mode and it’s for a reason. You need to find out why you are getting the check engine light by reading the codes that will tell you what’s wrong. Defiantly don’t keep driving on it not knowing what is wrong even autozone can read the codes for you.
Mine is stuck in n mode and has code p2422 for emission vent valve stuck closed, everyone is saying to replace evap canister , but should I try getting a new battery first ? I believe it’s still stock battery
I believe these issues are with the older models…I have a 2021 Stelvio Nero Ti sport and have never upgraded to know seen or had these issues. My suv has 24700 miles on it. 🤔
Maybe I got the best one around 😂
I couldn't reach the relays through the engine compartment. Had to jack uo the car, remove passenger wheel, and remove fender liner.
The starter relay can be swapped from the top I’ve done it. The aux water pump relay you can turn the wheel to the side no need to remove the wheel or jack. Glad you got it though. pull back the liner and reach out in. I did a full video here actually doing the job ruclips.net/video/bA60HATMs_g/видео.html
Nice video. My 2017 Giulia sometimes stops suddenly, with a lot of dash lights coming up. Especially in the summer when it's very hot. I have replaced the six relays but haven't fixed the issue
Is it possibly over heating? If it is you need to get it in quickly to find out why. Check your coolant levels see if they are going down. If they are you might be losing coolant check both coolant overflow tanks.
@@alfamods2.0T Well I am not losing any coolant.. Maybe electrical?
My guilia gets vapor lock when it's hot.. it stops the gas pump every second or two. Only works when the gas trickles in. 35k mile 2017.
Did you manage to fixx it?@@Jkstolz
Really good info brotha!
Thank you for watching bro!
Good Video with tips and tricks ! Thanks !
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a used 2017 Giulia. I have found 3 issues with the car so far and was wondering if you have any videos that cover any of these issues. Rear defroster not working: I ordered a new relay to see it that is the issue based on this video. Lights flickering: only happened a couple of times so far, but this is what I’m most worried about. The last issue is minor but annoying. When I’m listening to music on my phone via the usb, the sound starts crackling like I have a bad speaker. Sound is fine when not using USB. Thanks for this video, really good to know those relays are a trouble item.
1.Rear defroster normally goes out when the battery IBS sensor detects it’s dying so it cuts non essential functions one being the rear defroster. 2. Lights flickering if talking about headlights normally the switch has to be replaced if your talking about in general interior then again check battery. Lastly the USB port sucks and mine is the same way I just left it, but I’m sure to fix it will need to be replaced.
@@alfamods2.0T thanks for the quick reply.
I had the headlight flicker on mine. The dealer replaced the BCM twice under warranty. It came up once out of warranty and the battery replacement seemed to fix it. Hasn’t come up. 74k miles on mine and it hasn’t failed me once! A couple times I’ve had to clear codes with a scan tool and it works great again. Once it was warning of low pressure on the HP oil circuit, and that was fixed with an oil change (is this gran turismo?! lol). I had always changed it within the 10k interval but as the car gets older it may need more frequent changes.
2018 32k but won’t pass echeck saying evap syst not ready. No lights on dash. Scan OBD, just keeps saying not ready even after I followed other videos about driving it around. Any idea? Anyone have this problem?
Great info here!! Definitely saving this video
Hi There! I've been thinking of buying a Stelvio for a while now but have been reluctant bc of all the negative reports on Alfas. This forum is soooo helpful, so thanks for posting! Question - do Stelvios have similar issues as Giulias? Any particular years to avoid? I'm hoping for a 2020 or newer used Stelvio or Giulia. Thanks much!
Hello, I would avoid 2017 but yes they share the same engine and basically the same common issues. 2018 up are good. I’m at 51k miles and I’ve never had a check engine light or stranded situation. Just take care of maintenance I do 5k mile oil changes instead of 10k. I would say it’s reliable better than the last Bmw and Audi I’ve owned by far. I just made a new video on what to look for when buying used so you don’t get one with issues
Thank you man! :) Take care
You too! Thanks for watching
Does the quick disconnect on the negative side float loosely and pivot? Mine does and it seems to me it doesn’t make a solid connection that way…
2019 Giulia. Heavy rainstorm last week. My daytime running lights and forward turn signals have stopped working. All other lights working good. Do you have any ideas 🙏🏻
You probably got water in the control unit on the headlights. You can try and dry it but honestly 90% of the time this happens the headlights needs replacing and they are a lot of money. Used 700 each new like 1200-1600 each. No labor that’s just the part
Hey brother thank you for all the information. I had a problem with my 2019 Giulia not starting and start/stop not working. No codes. Replaced battery like you recommended with interstate one. Still start/stop not working. The other day it stalled on me at a re light. Any thoughts?
My hood doesn't open because the cable got loose... Can you do a video on how to tighten it so the hood pops?? Is this a common problem?
Sure thing I can do a short for you maybe make a video in the future what’s your email. I can send you a video clip in the next few days
Thanks!

Hi I have a 2018 giulia IT sport and I just lost the instrument cluster and it looks like it is trying to get back but it won’t. Anyone else have this issue and how can I fix it? Thanks
I had that happen turn the ignition car off and on 40 times it came back. You can swap it with a used one and program it or go to the dealership it’s a known problem but they will act like it isn’t.
Awesome tips
hood not closed connected to start stop, amazing find, how did you figure this out?
Thanks! It was funny but I didn’t close my hood and the way drove and bam start stop unavailable so I checked everything saw the hood open and closed it. Turned the car on and off and back to normal
Have you ever had an issue with the headlights being misaligned?
Yes 100% there is a ball that goes into the housing and a lot of times it jumps out and one light will be pointing to the sky and then people to go adjust and can’t all because it popped out you can reach it via the wheel well and pop it back in blindly. I do wanna note that if it is not this then just adjust normally
Thank you so much for this informative video .
You are the best
👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Will have more coming soon at least 1 video every 2 weeks
Did you have a video when installing the paddle shifters?
@@sahersesostris8332 no but I can make one, also I’m gonna be doing a give away soon in my next video
Thank you for your preciuos videos I wanted to ask if you have one about the barometric pressure sensor replaced or cleaned. I cannot find anything on the web. Thank you Maestro!
I have a chance to get a Stelvio Super Sport. Do you think they will increase in value? Thanks
The super sport will absolutely rise in value over time. Not at first but after a few years it will go up being so limited.
Great info here, thanks for sharing! I have a 2019 giulia and I installed puddle lights on the two front doors from Amazon and my dashboard lit up with every light. I tried disconnecting the battery, and turning the steering wheel but I still have all the errors. Did I blow a fuse? If so, where do I located the right fuse? Should I remove the Amazon lights and put the stock ones back on? Thanks
What about slight misfires which happen on cold starts?
As long as your not throwing a check engine light every time you start it it’s fine. The multiair unit starts messing up over time and it’s a very expensive repair, don’t worry about that, my car has had a slight miss every start up for like 2 years.
@@alfamods2.0T thank you for the answer! There is no any check engine. Also want to know how long should I wait before I can move off the parked car?
@@alfamods2.0T also how have you fixed that issue?
don't do the gtam spoiler. it will look OTT, because gtam has extra wide body at the rear. without them or will be an aesthetically unbalanced result imo
Yeah I think I’m finally decided not to do it thanks
Very nice video 👍
Thank you!
Great tips. Thanks for showing. How did you attach the fender badges since this is a Giulia 2.0 and not a QV?
Thank you! I went out and took measurements of a real QV placement of the cover. Then I built up layers of 3m tape until flush and it’s held up very well
@@alfamods2.0T that is good to know. Thank you.
Does the relay help in 2018 stelvio? If so, does anybody know where that relay is? (Not in the same spot as the Guilia)
If your having problems with start stop or the car running hot and sluggish yes. Location is on this page
www.stelvioforum.com/threads/start-stop-relay-location.16179/
@@alfamods2.0T thank you
What exhaust are you running? I’m looking to upgrade my Stelvio’s exhaust system and I’d love for it to sound like that.
Hello Alfa tech guy! I just wonder if you guys have a problem with the sun shade of the sun roof. Just stop in the middle and don't move...
Where did you get the spoilers for the front air dam ? And did they screw on or glue on ?
3m tape or glue up to you. They have held on with 3m tape for over a year at highway speeds. They make 2 versions 1 for the sport one for the base. You can get them on Amazon or eBay type in Giulia canards
Have you had a power steering service light pop out of nowhere? Mine just did
My service electronic throttle control warning continues to pop up. It's intermittent. However it seems to be more frequently. It throws the car into limp mode sometimes. I was told that it could be a solenoid from the somewhere dealing with the oil
If it’s during cold start then it’s multiair related. If it’s during driving then more related to the turbo you need the codes or I can’t help there is literally 100s of things that cause Check engine light with service throttle. Example mine went off and it was the electric thermostat, there is no way to pin point without codes
@@alfamods2.0T thanks for your help. The code is p06dd. It reads engine oil pressure control circuit performance/stuck off.
Hi, I just have a question do you know where is the fuel pump module location?
www.giuliaforums.com/threads/does-anybody-know-where-the-fuel-control-module-is-located.52264/
Hey bro... do you know anything about the park sensors or no sound from speakers not functioning?
Hello, I need some help, I bought a 2016 giulia 952 and my flashlight isn't working, I have no clue what the issue is, hope you or somebody else could help me
Does alfa do free service to correct these problems? By the way your trunk needs a good clean out!
Haha no way this car costs to own and they try and avoid paying out for this even under factory warranty. Outside warranty no your on your own to pay the dealership
Hey, how did you change the stock start/stop button to the red QV one?
I just bought the red start stop cover from Amazon type in Giulia start stop cover. Use a pick to remove the black stock one and pop this red one in. Way easier than installing the full OEM part
I have check engine light with code P2600 ( coolant pump control circuit open ) do you think this will be relay R1B ?
Why does my air keeps going out while I’m driving. My Stelvio is a 2021
I responded in my other video to you thanks
@@alfamods2.0Tgot it
Awesome video. I'm looking to buy a 2017 guilia ti. It's has 74000 miles on it. Full service history through alfa dealership. Is that to many miles?
Thanks for watching with that mileage I would only buy if you are getting a mopar maxcare extended warranty. That particular warranty is accepted at all alfa dealerships nation wide it is what I have.
Don't get 2017... 2018+ is better. More issues with the 17s
@Blaqk Hippie I ended up getting it with a really good warranty. 3k miles no problems at all.
@@Jeff-gc2sb that's awesome,congratulations!! Welcome to the Alfa fam 👍🏾👍🏾
So it’s the same relay for the rear defrost and the stop/start function and the water pump ? I just ordered two but wanted to make sure I understood correctly…
Yes they are all the same red relays
Does the fuse box under hood control any systems? Passenger side
I will open it up soon and repost on here. Thanks
I had a 2023 Giulia loaner that threw an engine code at 61 miles.
I have a 2018 Giulia, 26000 miles. I have had an issue where the car won't start but every conceivable dummy light, headlamps/tail lamps, Iight up like a Christmas tree and there's nothing I can do to turn them off. An engineer friend even removed the positive wire from the battery but no luck... It must have a direct feed from the battery. The first time, the service garage replaced the alternator. Then it happened again last week with the new alternator. Please tell me what to do? I wanted to keep my Alfa for a long time, but as a widow traveling alone, I can't deal with this!
I really hope you can keep this car as well. Seems like the first solution is to replace the factory battery with a H8 AGM 95ah 900ca battery if your in the US I recommend interstate as the brand, but any will work if it’s that spec. Do you have any accessories you have added like dash camera or anything that would drain the battery after you leave the car? If you are trying to do a rest disconnect the negative it has a quick disconnect, while this is useful for other issues if your battery is almost dead a new one is really the only option. I just bought my battery for 175. The OEM one is not a great battery varata EFB is what it has stock. Email me Alfamods512@gmail.com I can send you pictures of the battery options and quick negative disconnect.
@@alfamods2.0T Actually, the battery registers at full capacity. It can't be the alternator because they told me they had to replace it (per onboard computer). My engineer friend concluded there was some other feed from the battery powering all the dummy lights, etc. In both cases, somehow a jumpstart was able to over-ride the starter. He also said he didn't hear a "click" when we tried to start the engine.
I will say that all of this began when a young guy ran a red turn arrow and t-boned me slightly right at the lower right hinge of the driver's door. He swerved away, but not enough to miss impact. It is going to the dealer for body work next week, if I'm not too scared to get it there. (It's 2 + hours to the dealer.)
@@ScottiAngelWing sounds like you have a harness or wiring issue with the lights on the dash coming on. I could help a lot more if I was able to see what codes your car is throwing via Multiecuscan. if your getting a no start no crank then the starter relay is also important to replace because those go bad in general and most of the time have no crank no start symptoms. If you do the drive don’t stop the car if it’s already having problems starting just drive straight there. Honestly owning this car without an extended warranty mopar maxcare only or factory warranty for anyone who doesn’t know how to work on the car or doesn’t want to download and use multiecuscan for self diagnosing I advise against it. This car is expensive out of warranty especially if the dealership is needed to fix small things. Your issue sounds larger so I hope they can fix it. Fuel pump can also be an issue if no start with a good battery. Always jump start with the posts in the front of the car or you risk damaging the IBS sensors in the trunk. Also just because the battery is checking out as good. Doesn’t mean it is unless you have access to the IBS system to see what the true capacity is you can’t rule that out because that is shown in a percentage anything below 76% IBS can cause problems. I just replaced my battery even though it’s testing at full capacity at an auto store, but was below 70% in the internal IBS register.
@@alfamods2.0T Thank you. After the body work is complete, I think there may be a German in my future. Italians don't love me, I guess.
@@ScottiAngelWing nothing wrong with that just picked up an Audi A6 3.0T for my wife I love my alfa but I love cars in general so I’d say whatever it is warranty is key.
Regards, your videos are excellent, and love to watch them. Would you recommend Alfa Romeo with 2.0 gme 147 kW engine? The year of the car is 2021. Are those engines reliable?
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot. The year 21 is a great year since they worked out of a lot of the larger issue. The 2.0T at any power level 200hp or 280 is really a good reliable engine, just do 5k miles oil changes. The 200hp engine can be remapped to 320 with just a tune alone no other mods.
@@alfamods2.0T thanks a lot 👍👍👍
My radio in my 2017 Giulia keeps resetting and it says my phone and sound system aren’t connected on my dash
You can do an infotainment update your self using this website and a usb stick www.alfaowner.com/threads/how-to-infotainment-updates.1185573/
Or you can take it to the dealer and get an update it sounds like a software issue if it’s working but glitching
@@alfamods2.0T i don’t have enough time to get to the update screen before resetting so I may have to take it to the dealer
will the starter relay issue cause not only the SS unavailable but a check engine light as well?
Eventually yes.
Any issues with Evap codes?
I am buying a QV Guilia soon . Are these small issues on the newer cars, or the earlier ones. I am buying 2023. QV
They seem to be a bit more sorted, but the random fault codes now and again are still common. The car is electronically sensitive. The battery issues with corrosion is common even for a new models because over sea import. The 2023 is more sound 20 and up.
Hey bro i did it but my window and door locks stopped working 😳, but check engine light is gone. I have a 2020 Guilia
I honestly have never heard of that happening? Has anything come back?
@@alfamods2.0T the engine light is gone but the window and lock switches are not working. The weird thing is the switches are on just not working .
Mine says service electronic throttle control
@@krbassin2465 yeah that’s just a generic message that pops up any time you have a check engine light. You need to read the codes to find out what’s actually wrong 99% of the time it has nothing to do with the electronic throttle.

I’m sorry I don’t have a Stelvio to check if it has a release in the trunk I’m sure it has to have something like what I showed in my trunk
AMAZING 👍👍 👍 👍👍
This is my favorite new car. But OMG. This is like these Saab 9-5 videos on common problems. For someone like yourself and the Saab owner, this car must be a dream. But for anyone not mechanically inclined looks like a bit of a headache without a lot of tolerance. Kind of like dating someone hot on benzos. Is it worth it? Maybe I'll just rent one on Turo for a day and get a Lexus IS for the same price instead and have a boring girlfriend who is reliable.
I agree with you there. This is somewhat of a headache for anyone that isn’t as mechanically inclined. You really put it the best way it could have been described.
@@alfamods2.0T I wouldn't own this car. But I definitely would rent it on Turo for a few days. And if I had to have a car to rent to others, this would be the car. So this is still my favorite car. But this is a rough economy. So to me, this feels like a car to rent for a fun car instead of going to the track and spending much much more driving supercars. I definitely think people buying Corolla GRs and Integra Type S over this are morons spending 50k on those when you can find a used Giulia for 15k.
Has anyone had issues with the warning “service electronic throttle”? 2017 Giulia Ti with recent oil change and spark plug replacement. Wondering if any of these tips cover that issue. Thanks
Same
@@Kaliman_Cipher hey bro, my problem ended up being the spark plugs themselves. Turns out the plugs that the tech put in were champion and they cause issues with the Alfas. Switched to NGK and the car is running perfect.
@@oscar9388 I appreciate it you brother
@@Kaliman_Cipherno problem at all. You get yours fixed?
tyyy
I need piece of advise,,, I've too high fuel consumption, 15 litre per 100 km in A mode.... how can I fix it?
I ran into a very similar issue my MPG was low the reason spark plugs were needed at 36k miles.
I installed new spark plugs they were incorrectly gapped. My MPG dropped very low. I then took them out and bought pre gapped plugs from here
shopeurocompulsion.net/products/oem-ngk-ilzkr7g-spark-plug-set-alfa-romeo-giulia-stelvio-2-0l
Installed them my MPG went back up to around 37 mpg highway 23 combined.
I am tuned
which engine air filter is better K & N or BMC for Stelvio 2.0T?
@@alfaromeo8937 I would recommend BMC over K&N
@@alfamods2.0T I'd prefer BMC too,,, what's the milage limit on it?
Only problem I’m having is the car is eating up gas like crazy and I’m not sure why it started happening recently not sure why tho
Did you change your spark plugs at all?
@@alfamods2.0T haven’t bin changed since I bought the car at 55k miles now at 95 I’m also tuned, what u think it can be ?
@@paulmessina7904 spark
2019 alfa romeo Giulia with 90k miles and my alternator just went out :(
My moon roof won’t close now either
Does anyone know about driving this car in heavy rain? I was driving and all of a sudden my lights start flickering, turn signals went out, parking light went out, brake lights went out. The dealership is blaming it on my sound system and a light i have on the grill that’s connected to the fuze box. They’re showing me so many codes that are popping up but Im 95% sure water got onto the fuze box or something because there’s no way my car was perfectly fine with everything I’ve added for months up to the point where i drove in heavy rain and now i got all these problems. I hope someone can give me some advice or something, thanks!
There has been known issues with the car during rainstorms, but normally they are limited to the Forward collision and park sense. What your describing does sound like water got somewhere it wasn’t supposed to. They are just trying to pass off that issue on your aftermarket stuff. If it’s water that messed up your car call your car insurance if you have comprehensive and make a claim for water damage
@@alfamods2.0T Thanks for the reply I appreciate it and I might read that back to the people at the dealership because I’m gonna fight the issue as much as possible. I unplugged every aftermarket thing I added like how they told me and even after clearing the codes some still popped up even when the mechanic would disconnect whatever they think is causing the code. They’re gonna replace my entire electrical module on the passenger side under warranty because the mechanic did mention something about water somewhere which i need to get clear with them about so wish me luck i guess
Do you happen to know where is the MAP sensor on the Giulia
