How to Remove the Oil Sump to Replace the Oil Seal Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.2 JTDm2

[@Ghost-Alive-1]

1:33:40 These are the details that make me want to put the engineer who designed them to work as a mechanic 😅You did a great job, hard work to do alone, it takes patience and courage to do it, thanks for sharing it 👍

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Thank you so much for watching

Superb effort, with a mechanic who has words of wisdom such as 'smooth is fast', really liked that. For this car, it s a pity than the root cause will not be found, although interesting assumptions were made. There are lots of threads on alfa forums that would take benefit of this hands on experience. Having the oil pressure monitored with data logging/odb or other means would be of help, to validate or invalidate the assumprions made in the video. About the video format, it is clearly too long, in these days of low attention span in the general public . To increase views, liekely worth to have such video scattered in several videos, named by theme. e.g. removing sub frame, oil sump remove and install, road test and rambling etc Keep on the good work anyhow!

Hello, thank you very much for watching! Indeed the video is too long and I could do it on 3 or 4 separate shorter ones. But for this channel, interestingly enough the longer the video the better the result! It's very counter intuitive but it works. About the car, at the time I did not had my new autel to get access and read parameters, unfortunately. And with those symptoms, the 5w30, the nasty oil filter, the teared seal, I really thought that was it. And probably the final step was really the regulator, like on the latest 1.3 mjet.

[@DashCamSerbia]

Longer videos are better. This is a technical channel, not a TikTok styled brainded channel. So for me, 2 hours pass like nothing while watching this.

[@djlosmi]

Long videos are good! Very nice job, proud of you! Sorry you couldn't fix it all the way.

[@djlosmi]

Perhaps a good idea would be to offer replace the oil solenoid for free, as the issue wasn't fixed on the first try.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. I did, the customer declined. Perhaps he had other arrangements

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

This one will be stuck with me forever... Thanks for watching

[@nsz2302]

I do enjoy long videos so this was pretty cool.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it

You should put some briks for rear wheels to not slip if brake is weak. You are risking your life!

[@Jallandhara]

Holy Hell the gauges and dash as damn near 1:1 of a early 2010s Mitsubishi Lancer.

[@petermolnar8667]

We made an aluminum replacement with Viton O-rings (heat, oil, and fuel resistant, better than the regular NBR), so far doing well in a Ducato 2.0 Multijet.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Very nice

[@hobbyhomemade118diecastmod7]

Very good, detailed video! Congratulations! But I also changed it for myself, much more easily, you made it very complicated, i thing.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Thanks for watching, sorry you feel that way

[@hobbyhomemade118diecastmod7]

@alfaromeonoproblem There is a modified seal developed by JTD performance. What do you think about that?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@hobbyhomemade118diecastmod7 I did talked about that on the video. The ones I seen so far, no thank you.

[@vladimirobradovic1473]

Great video 👍

I am thinking about giulia with 2.2 jtd but judging by your movie and opinion read on groups, forums I would rather stay with my 159 1.9 8v jtd. :D , btw. to avoid warning message after oil change you could filled up a filter.

[@kuratage]

I had similar oil pressure fault with my psa 2.2hdi engine. Did change oil pressure sensor, oil filter housing, original oil filter and oil pump. However all those do not fix the problem. Quite frustrated. Lastly we had to change main and conrod bearing. Then no more oil pressure issue. I wonder why alfa designed 2.2 engine using only 3litres oil and 0w20 grade? Btw bruno, great and super informative video.

[@DashCamSerbia]

You can see how narrow and deep the oil pan is, like with the small engines. That way they can use less oil. Less oil warms up faster so the pollution level lower to the nominal level quickly. And thinner oil means less mechanical losses, so again better fuel consumption and lower emmissions. It is the modern day design... But personally, I don t like it. More oil makes the oil work less hard, as it can absorb more carbon and soot before it gets saturated. And can cool the engine and the oil itself more easily.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. The 0w20 is due to emissions. A bigger oil pan meant a taller engine and with that a taller car, for that poor emissions. About the oil pressure, I'm pretty sure now that the regulator is the main issue.

[@cicerigiancarlo6633]

Hello , just to let you know that the early OIL PUMPS on this good engines ( 2.2 and 2.0 jtdm) 180 hp are faulty and can ruin the engine , there is an upgrade that Alfaromeo sells

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello, thank you very much for that info, will keep that in mind.

[@DashCamSerbia]

Well, too bad that the owned did not know this to buy it and ask Bruno to replace it as well.

[@tommyg2232]

I use 5w30 oil for my Giulia 2.2 jtd

[@marisb7141]

as on Stelvio oil filter is hard to reach and messy (rarely someone uses/knows drain screw.), some mechanics do not change filter, only oil...i guess even without warning light, over time bearings can be damaged.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

That is my assumption too

[@WickedLeo82]

Also, which oil grade you used?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

0w20

[@orgitokaca1456]

hi i have an alfa 156 1.9 jtd and when a put the first gear and slowly realesing the clutch the car shakes like craizy ,, all the engine mounts are new what it can be the cause ...

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. Clutch set and or flywheel.

[@WickedLeo82]

Had this changed at my brera 2.0jtdm at 175k km, until the 300k km that has now, never appeared, so overall once in that long time I wouldn't consider it as a problem.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. I hope everything goes well, but as soon as it turns on again, replace it as soon as possible

[@WickedLeo82]

I seriously reconsider buying a q4 stelvio 2.2 . Can't believe it takes so much work. On the 2.0 jtdm is way easy.stupid design to reach and remove the sump.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@WickedLeo82 on a lift will probably be ten times easier

[@nikos1111111111111]

i had the same problem on my stelvio q4 oil pressure warning when i relese the gas pedal it was the oil pump i found metal parts from the oil pump inside the sump and on the oil filter ... i have changed 2 turbos cause of that ...

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Hello. The service news says that the metal shavings come from the Q4 oil sump and cause that. That's why they say it has to have a new sump.

[@nikos1111111111111]

@@alfaromeonoproblem the metal shavings in the oil filter after 128000 km !!!! 128000 km it is not enough to clear the metal shaving from the sump through the filter ?

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

@nikos1111111111111 yes, ir may happen because of play on the driveshafts locators

[@nikos1111111111111]

@@alfaromeonoproblem i think if it was from the driveshafts locators it was going to leak oil out of the sump .. i didn t had any leak . drive shaft locators are just a tube going trough the oil sump .

[@Encik1]

So they fuck it up like in 2.0jtdm..

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Yes, in fact. And like on the 1.6 diesel and the 1750 petrol

[@petermolnar8667]

Exact same part number and everything 🥲

[@Encik1]

@@petermolnar8667 oil pick up should be bolted on two M6 bolts and that's it. That's why I buy Honda

[@dannydkasel8296]

why not jack up the engine from the top? It´s easy and you can unmount everything you need from obove

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Probably, yes. Next time

[@dugiklc]

It's q2 or q4?

[@DashCamSerbia]

No CV semiaxels on the front, so 2WD.

[@alfaromeonoproblem]

Check the video please

[@dugiklc]

easy on q2. try it on q4 :-)

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

Why repair of whole engine? The problem maybe the oil pump, not engine. Also NOBODY should use oils that are thiner than 30. Manufacturers go crazy to get certifications and killing engines. 0w-20 is a water not oil....internal combustion engines are doomed... maybe for the better... EV are great but there is no infractructure, and no quality EV cars
