Good job, as a owner of one of these wonderful engines I can’t wait for an in depth video from you please don’t keep me waiting too long 👍

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Thank you for this great comment. Hopefully will be in the next few weeks. 🤞🏻

What is so great about a Multiair unit that is prone to failure if even slightly neglected ?

[@hdsd4341]

@@Drivewaybuildz how long did it take you to replace the multiair?

[@Drivewaybuildz]

@@hdsd4341 I did it on mine in an hour or so. not overly difficult or time consuming. 👍

[@Natethegreat200c]

@@worldhello1234 don’t neglect it. Lol. It would be bad if we’ll maintenance ones were failing but if it’s due to poor maintenance then that’s your fault.

nice video mate,

Thank you 👍

My multiair Turbo engine is still doing well and it's 2010 model. But I only made 50k km.

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Thats good to hear. Hopefully it continues like that. 🤞🏻

@@Drivewaybuildz thanks, I hope. I always use the original oil from selenia.

My alfa is in the garage for a multi air swap after engine light code appeared with the dreaded P1063 code.. Only done 40k miles in 8 years total. Devastated, those multi airs are not cheap! £1,300 for unit, fitting and tax! Luckily I bought a full warranty with the car! So it's not costing me a penny.

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Thats good to hear its being fixed under warranty. many companies try to get out of it with the MA unit. many mechanics also have never heard of an MA unit and believe they are all T-Jet. Sounds like you were very lucky all round. hope its back up and running smooth now. 🤞🏻

[@onlyoneromeo]

Did you guys use the special tool ? If so, have you ever installed one without the special tool ?

[@Drivewaybuildz]

theres a specific multiair fitting tool that makes it easier to refit the MA unit. but you can do it without although not recommended. check out torq motorsport Multiair spring fitting video for a visual of how to refit without the tool.

[@UnBoricuaRetro]

I have a P0302 with no compression on cylinder 2. Should it be the multiair or exhaust valves? How did you know your problem was the multiair brick? Thanks

[@drewukdrew]

Hi there, Just about to replace the unit on my son's Abarth, any tips ?

Donde puedes comprar el módulo multiair? Tengo un punto evo y está fallando el multiair, quiero saber donde adquirir esta pieza.

How long did it take you?

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Around 2 hours taking our time and not rushing. 👍

Do you someone that repair multiair actuator for my giulietta?

[@dominiklepauvre182]

Hey there, may i ask you where you bought the special tool and about the turning torques and the screwing sequence? :) mine just break after 68.000 km ... such a shame! right after oil exchange...

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Hi. This time lapse video was performed on my friends car. I will be doing a more indepth step by step video on mine in the coming weeks including torque specs, tightening sequence etc. the tool is called a 'multiair fitting tool' around £100 online. maybe try ebay. Hope this helps. 👍

Hi. Would you scrap the old multiair unit? I'm repairing mine and I need 2 valves. Can you help with this.

[@Drivewaybuildz]

As far as i am aware you can't buy replacement parts for the unit. This was filmed on my friends car. Think the only option is salvage off an old unit. 👍

[@auraur8419]

@@Drivewaybuildz yes I know. Is coming as a single part. That's why asked you about the actuator from the old one. Just didn't find any to breakers. Mostly german cars.

[@stevemiller2651]

@@auraur8419 The Multiair unit tends to fail in one of two ways. 1; the nut that holds the piston in place works It's way loose. Caught early enough it can be removed, de-greased, and tightened back up with lock-tite to prevent it happening again. Left for long enough it'll eventually strip the thread. Still repairable by re-threading and fitting a helicoil but it may not last. 2; solenoid failure. If this happens it's unrepairable, unit is only good for the bin unfortunately.

This is THE big problem this engine has right?

[@Drivewaybuildz]

Yes. It's the only main weakness IMO. Everything else with this car is very hardy. Shame is, there is no real way to prevent this from happening. Some units fail very early in life for no apparent reasons and others still go strong. 👍
