Thanks for advice, bought myself a cheap glass sucker thing off eBay for 4 quid which made job do able, followed rest of video but found didn't need to remove cowling, whole job took half hour and with sensor and suction pad cost £14, Alfa quoted 2 hours plus parts and warning mirror may break, thanks again Tony 🍻

Hi again Tony. That all worked a treat when I replaced the temperature sensor. Took about 45 mins and I solved global warming - temp indicated went from 40°c to 22c. 😁

Thanks Stahl.

[@johnhammond7540]

Hi Tony, thanks for this video. It was really useful and I successfully replaced the faulty sensor. Just a warning to others though. Inside the bottom of the wing mirror housing there is a section of plastic sticking up (you can just see it in a few shots). When I released the top clips from the mirror it pivoted and this plastic dug in to the bottom of the glass and cracked it. Everything else went fine and the air-con is working again. I suggest loosening the clips from the bottom, this would avoid what happened to me.

[@vialettotony]

Hi John. That’s great to hear you’ve fixed it, bummer on the crack though. Thanks for the heads up. Always useful. All the best. Stay healthy. 👍

[@jorgvervaet]

Where did you get a new sensor?

Thanks Tony !

Haha. Hope it helps. Your request managed to queue jump, largely due to pay day 😄. All the best.

[@lawrencewoolston7251]

Great video. I just changed my sensor. I found you only need to remove the glass. Then lift the bracket holding the sensor and twist the sensor out of its position. Cut the old one off, reconnect/solder the wires and do the reverse to refit everything. Took me about an hour

[@vialettotony]

Good work Lawrence. Glad you got it sorted. 👍

[@Ragnarrok2023]

Another great video Tony 👍🏼 Mine under-reads by 5-6 degrees so not to irritate me massively yet. I've seen a few people recommend a £2 thermistor instead of the OE part but curious how to splice that in - a future video perhaps

[@vialettotony]

Hi Saleem. Thank you. From research I’ve done, it’s a simple cut of cables and solder in a new part. If mine ends up going bad, then I’ll make the video 😉. Thanks for watching. All the best.

[@alainbauristhene6427]

Hi Tony your videos are very helpful and very informative do you have any suggestion for the mirrors that rattle and sound tinny when you close the doors or is this just Giulietta's

[@vialettotony]

Hi not really. You could consider putting some padding behind the mirror, but maybe not worth the effort. Hope that helps. All the best 👍

[@zoefrench647]

Hi thanks for this. About to attempt to get into the wing mirror to check the sensor and replace if necessary. Will let you know how it goes :) Have you done a vid for fitting the gadget that makes the wing mirrors close when you lock the car? I’ve got the kit and instructions but a video would be brilliant.

[@vialettotony]

Hi Zoe… your not the first to ask about this actually. It’s not something I have planned to do so, no video available I’m afraid. Glad you liked the videos so far, really appreciate you watching and subscribing (if you have). I look forward to hearing how it goes. 👍

[@feelgood8091]

Hey thanks for the great video. My Giulietta has problems with the outside temperature which leads to problems with the AC. Where did you guys find the right temperature sensor? Does someone has a part number or something?

[@vialettotony]

Hey Feel Good. Thanks for watching. Yeah plenty of people have noted that the sensor throws up issues with the AC. @anthonydavid1965 in the comments below may be able to help with where to buy a new one.. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you have. Really appreciate it.

[@mangomangbish]

Great video, d'ya reckon it's necessary to take off cowling to get at sensor?

[@vialettotony]

Can't fully remember but i think it provides access to some of the fixings. All the best 👍

[@BojanBojovic]

I noticed when the outside temperature is at about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius I need to set the heater way up to 27-28 degrees to warm my feets properly, it gets more logical when the outside temperature falls further to zero degrees or below, then 24 or 25 degrees on the scale inside is sufficient. I noticed this discrepancy during the summer months as well, just in the opposite direction, but it seems like this difference was not so pronounced with the 159 climate control which was more accurate. Does this means that the external sensor needs to be replaced, or this is how Giulietta climate control works (not so good really)?

[@vialettotony]

Hi Bojan. If the temperature on the dashboard reads correctly then the sensor is okay. Hope that helps. All the best 👍

[@gaellevericel616]

Fuck, i love you man. Thank’s for your tuto👍

[@vialettotony]

Gaelle that’s great to hear 😊👍

[@mohammadhoque1893]

Hi tony hope your well pal, my internal temp is showing blank and my AC stopped working. Checked ac compressor and its not spinning either. Would this be due to this temp sensor? I hoping so.

[@vialettotony]

Hi. Yeah, most likely the fact that the temp isn’t reading correctly will stop the Compressor kicking in. The AC system is like the Stop Start on our cars. So many things need to be right for it to work. Lots of people have successfully changed their sensors and all has been well. Hoping you may be able to do the same. All the best 👍

[@mohammadhoque1893]

Hi tony just a update, i can confirm if the ambient sensor is not working and shows three dots ok dashboard instead of external temperature then indeed the AC clutch will not engage therefore AC will not be working. I have just changed the sensor and AC is back to working order. Only took me over a month to research and find this out. So hopefully whoever needs to see this, will make your life easier. 👊

[@matthemings5770]

Hi tony, only me again😁 I’d like to change only the wing mirror covers on my G, and just wondering what your best method is for this? I’ve read elsewhere that it’s best to remove mirror with a sucker pad, and remove clips from there avoid breaking the covers being taken off. Would you say this is the best thing to do? Only thing I was worried about is the mirror either breaking, or not fitting back on once I’m done🤦🏻‍♂️ Any advice welcome, cheers👍🏼

[@vialettotony]

Using a sucker pad works well for me. You may have seen another video where I did the same on an Audi. Worked very well each time. For me this avoids prying with screwdrivers with force. Hope that helps. All the best 👍

[@matthemings5770]

@@vialettotony Just tried this afternoon to remove my mirror covers…got 5 minutes in to trying to remove the glass, and it smashed😂🤷🏻‍♂️ The countless KZbin videos I’ve watched with everyone doing it absolutely fine, and just my luck that it’ll smash when I try it🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vialettotony]

@@matthemings5770 ah man 😫.

[@goodo5691]

do you know if this can cause the a/c to play up...(intermittent cooling) i'm in Australia, and last summer a/c was playing up..would work for 5 mins then cut out etc etc.then cut in note: mine is not an auto air system..i control it manually...cheers if anyone knows

[@vialettotony]

I’ve heard lots of people say it does, as it has an impact on the controlling computer apparently. However I know someone said theirs worked even though the reading was wrong.

[@varmastiko2908]

It can stop the entire A/C compressor from switching on if the temp reading is off enough. Specifically, if the sensor always reads super low the system will operate under the assumption that the outside temp is always below safe threshold to turn the compressor on.

[@mahdizoabi3957]

Hey man Can you show us how you got that cover cap back again ? I cant do it 😞

[@vialettotony]

Hi Mahdi. It’s certainly a bit of a challenge as I remember it. I’d say go back to it after a while with fresh eyes and you’ll do it. Unfortunately I’m working currently so can’t get out for this. All the best 👍

[@anthonydavid1965]

Really helpful videoTony 👍 About to attempt this myself, however I can see your sensor seems to have two grey wires, whereas the new sensor I have bought has a red and a green wire. Just wondering about polarity and which wires to connect, or does this not matter? Hope that makes sense and thanks if you can answer.

[@vialettotony]

Hi Anthony. Binary answer is I don’t know. Long answer would be that I suspect it may not matter. Obviously the best thing to do will be to turn the ignition on and check before you put it all back together so you can easily switch them round if needed. Good luck with it. Let me know how you get on. All the best and thanks for watching. 👍

[@anthonydavid1965]
