12 Most COMMON ISSUES on Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Weak Points, Problems

[@arcgarage]

One thing I forgot to mention is that you don't want to follow 30K oil replacement interval, replace it every 10K at the most.

[@sircopperfield7420]

Giulietta has always been my dream car, and I can call myself a proud owner, but I have to admit that she can be rough on the edges sometimes. If you take good care of her, she will give you back so much joy. Forza Alfa!

[@arcgarage]

True man, you got to give them love

[@semihkaradag7396]

I am writing from Turkey. After the 4 156s I used, Giulietta was really a test for me. I solved many problems thanks to your videos. All that remains is the problem of the ABS module and the noisy suspension. I don't think you can do anything for the ABS, but I am looking forward to the video with your recommendations for the suspension. Even though I changed a lot of parts, the problem continues. You have great content, it is very enjoyable to watch. Please excuse me if there are any mistakes in my English translation :)

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much man, noisy suspension can be quit annoying, can't wait to sort mine

[@ctid107]

Start stop works fine if the battery is in a good state. When I first got my car the system was unpredictable. When I changed the battery I installed an AGM battery - wow what a difference. Start stop now really makes difference, I've pulled over at times and the engine has stopped for nearly 10 mins before starting again.

[@arcgarage]

Exactly what I have experienced, but then again the system needs to meet numerous parameters to work properly

[@ctid107]

​@@arcgarageYou're right, it also depends on electrical load, eg headlights. It's also disabled if rear demister is on. Thanks for the great videos, next job for me is to watch your fuel cap video and fix mine!

[@arcgarage]

Thanks man, yeah that was very satisfying one, it still works like a charm

[@doleginho]

Changed mine as well to AGM, s&s worked for like a day and stopped working again. I'm happy that it doesn't work but just saying that battery is not the only one that can cause this "issue"

[@arcgarage]

@@doleginho Agree

[@tonypilot1000]

Magnifici questi video in italiano. Complimenti. Il tuo e uno dei migliori canali per gli alfisti. Grazie di cuore.❤

[@arcgarage]

Thank you very much for support man, it means a lot

[@mikeviljoen]

Thanks for a great video. I would add the vinyl on the door cards shrinking over time and pulling away.

[@arcgarage]

Yeah that could also be one, luckily I didn't experience that one yet

[@mrbenzina32]

Great video, thank you 💯

[@arcgarage]

Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

[@lordfader66]

what changes happened 2013 to multiair unit? I only know the early mito units 2009/10 had probs... no issues here with 2011 giulietta so dont panic (but only 95000km). engine is very nice if not the best for a budget giulietta. Fires like 180 or 190hp! Keep oil fresh and clean and do the right oil specs (most important) is the magic. every 30000, you could clean debris from multiair filter if paranoid... Man, thanks for your nice videos, helped a lot!

[@arcgarage]

If I remember right it was something in regard to solenoids, glad to hear that, just make sure you get regular oil changes every 10k at the most

[@constantgardener1875]

Hi there I got a quick question so the 2013 model onwards has had the engine issue fixed right? Fingers crossed because I bought the 2013 model earlier this year with just over 30,000 km on the clock. I’ve added another 20,000km to it & thankfully have had no problems so far.

[@arcgarage]

Just replace oil every 10k, and replace MA filter regularly

[@deramon1000]

Good video, i agree the Giulietta is a good car. Especially after the facelift which fixed many issues. My father used to have a 2014 Giulietta and has now bought a 2020 Giulietta because it was so good. Before he has never owned a car longer than 1 or 2 years 😂 I have heard about an issue with the rear wheel arch liner hitting the body and causing some rusting near the rear sill before the facelift. Have you seen this ever?

[@arcgarage]

They did iron out pretty much all of the issues, I didn't hear of that

[@MattBeer1971]

Best fix for the dash storage is to super glue it shut. I did! 😂

[@arcgarage]

Hahahaha, well you got it fixed, that's what's important

[@GARR0N]

I have a 2010 170hp multiair and a 2015 Qv Line 170hp. Both have had boot wiring looms I've had to fix (Not an issue as I'm an electritian) My Qv line has a stiff storage compartment, My inner door handle was peeling so it had to be replaced, I replaced my gear knob in advance, DAB arial not working (Most likely a wiring loom issue) my fuel door is fine but fragile. My Bluetooth can be hit and miss sometimes, Mine is 1.4L Turbo and the vapour line that recurculates oil to the inlet of the turbo back feeds and oil collects in the air filter. Don't even get me started on the fear of waterpump / Timing belt going and detonating the engine.

[@Ziad-alfa]

My suspension is squeking like crazy when cold in morning. Can you make a video on hoe to grease suspension

[@arcgarage]

Will do

[@dumpors1]

Don’t have any of those issues except poor insulation, can’t wait for them to start appearing😅 video is scary and reassuring in the same time

[@arcgarage]

You're lucky my friend

[@canceylandigital]

I will insulate this week for trim noises coming from the doors and road wind noise. Also, is there a solution for the squeaking driver's seat?

[@arcgarage]

Didn't look into it yet, are you planning on soundproofing the doors?

[@canceylandigital]

@arcgarage I think yes. I got noise canceliton sunger products for containers from the temu. I hate trim sounds so much. My car is 2015 model.

[@WarRockReviews]

Sqeauking noise in the back by my giulietta the problem was the handbrake cable in the handbrake cable mount.

[@arcgarage]

Thanks for sharing

[@WarRockReviews]

It was rubbing through the plastic outside of the cable.

[@quentin3792]

And of course the dual-mass flywheel. I recently had to change it at 137000km.

[@arcgarage]

That is a bit early

[@rakeshmistry505]

Did you change the clutch too?

[@quentin3792]

@@rakeshmistry505 Yes, and the hydraulic throwout bearing too.

[@GQV10]

Waiting for that broken dashboard fix!

[@arcgarage]

It will come soon as mine pops open

[@jovanmilovanovic3915]

Waiting for the clear coat fix, can't stand looking at my hood at the moment... Those "bold" spots are very annoying.

[@arcgarage]

I know what you mean, the clear coat can be a real pain.

[@ALENGLEDJA]

Potrosnja ulja kod benzinaca vezana za separator? Hvala

[@arcgarage]

Kod mene separator nije ok, mada nije nesto taj problem izrazen, ali mislim ga mjenjati ubrzo

[@lordfader66]

Manual gearbox probs with 1st gear on the early giuliettas was handled by warranty, revision of the c635... oil change does not help.

[@arcgarage]

As a prevention, it is good to keep these gearboxes maintained just to avoid potential issues

I see you upgraded to a bigger screen from the ATOTO S8?

[@arcgarage]

Yes, like the bigger screen, but not really the fan of these protruding units, so I am still on the fence

Where is the video about squeaking noises from suspension? I'm still waiting! :D

It's on the list

[@MassimoAmodeo-i8r]

Poor sound isolation is a plus for me

[@arcgarage]

Yeah man, if you got great sounding engine, it is

[@blyatman5462]

With this engine no

[@dusankocisevic6823]

Pa gomila engleza i italijana se žali na Multiair motor u celom FCA segmentu, a malo ljudi spominje taj skriveni MA filter koji malo ljudi servisira inače i to je očito i uzrok kvara na motoru. Mislim da i noviji Firefly sa 3 cilindra ima isti takav skriveni filter🙄🙄

[@arcgarage]

A gledaj, nije filter uzrok kavar ovih ranijih jedinica, a u svakom slucaju mora se mjenjati redovno, nije da su ga skrivali

[@dusankocisevic6823]

@ eh tu i jeste kvaka22. Moraš rasturiti dosta toga zbog čišćenja filtera pa to ljudi valjda i neće da urade na servisu. A u servisnoj knjizi Multiair filter se nigde ni ne spominje, što mislim da je najozbiljniji propust fabrike!

Hello, please make your original English-Audio default again. I hate this AI translation. If someone doesn't understand english he still can choose his language in the player settings manually. I suppose the majority understands english so please change back to original audio as default, no need to auto-translate. Of course this is only my opinion. You still have the best DIY Alfa Giulietta channel!! 👍

[@arcgarage]

Thanks, don't have a lot of options there, youtube does that on their own

[@drsnuggles0815]

​@@arcgarage Ok, somehow I expected this. It seems Google/KZbin wants to decide for us little children 🙄 Well, also Reddit is full of users asking how to disable KZbin's titles and audiotrack auto-translation. But like in other cases I suppose a Firefox-/Chrome-extension will fix this issue some day. Anyway, keep up your good work!

Multiair is faulty in every year of production. Even Giulia and other cars wirh Multiair engines has this issue.

Can't agree with that statement

[@Red_Ford]

@arcgarage I am very disappointed 😉
