Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia 2.0 TBI-M Multi air turbo engine issue PART 2

[@woodrimcars2324]

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.

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

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 ✌️

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

Alfa no longer employ engine designer’s only engine bodger… heated pully up. still won’t come off. 3 hours waisted so far and still not off. regards and thanks. Eddy

​@@AlfamanGarageServicesoil in intake is from that crankshaft ventilation system....nmy Giulia is also full of oil ... 0w-30 selenia is problem I think... Interval should be waaaaaaaay smaller than 15000 Kms.... Or they say 10000 miles... I think max 7500 Kms for replacement max

A la fin qu'elle était le problème ? Merci

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🇮🇹🇮🇹

@@dusankocisevic6823 60000 miles on the clock Very disappointing engine. The engine might not be that bad but the total idiotic arseholes who write the service schedules have a lot to answer for. If you get a new engine and u don’t change the oil/filter for 20000 miles the engine life has been cut. If u purchase an expensive car for £40000 plus. WHY WOULD YOU NOT LOOK AFTER IT PROPERLY ….

[@dusankocisevic6823]

True…. my carguy always insists to do a oil change in 10000km and belts and waterpump in 5 years, nomatterwhat. Like You said it, Once upon a time it was easy to do a engine service, compare with today’s engine tech and service manual philosophy🙄🙄 CHEERS🍺🍺

@@AlfamanGarageServices exactly. Mine Giulia have almost 200.000 miles (2.2 diesel) and l change oil every 6.000 miles. The oil is at the limit of lifespan. Already so carboned that it stay on fingers. There is no way that oil can last scheduled interval. That's why the car still working ok.

[@michaelstaley2241]

I own a mito two new cambelts I have the oil changes every six months with multi air engine … low mileage.. but excellent.

Naturaly aspirated engines would be much better. A 3 point something V6 and a 4 point something V8 petrols in these Giorgio platform cars would be the best. But unfortunatelly, due to politicians... Ops, I mean emmission regulations, they need to use small(er) turbo engines. I don't like them. Turbo means poor throttle response, more thermall stress on the oil and many other undesirable effects. I would rather stick to my 159 2.2 JTS 185 hp manual then get a Giulia 2.0 TB 200 hp automatic...
