I will bring my mito and tonale ..

This gentleman is good and an Alfa Romeo man …👍🏻

Great man.

My Grande Punto Tjet has snapped in exactly the same place as I am changing my manifold as it is cracked. Only issue for me is my extractor bit has snapped off inside so I need to grind a hole out now :(

Great video once again 👍. Thank you.

This is the problem today. The “mechanics” at dealerships cannot do not want to do diagnostics like this gentlemen. This is how most mechanics use to be, now we have people that can change plugs and oil which I can do myself

I have just found that guy that isn't just a "parts swapping mechanic" and solves problems methodically and efficiently, I m a new sub 😊 I am an electrician who has completely rebuilt a opel vivaro engine on my own, no experience prior. I got a "mechanic " to time the engine as I wasn't confident enough myself, big mistake, with drawings on a PC he timed it wrong and I've wasted €1500 in parts. Very few people out there that deserve to be called a mechanic except for guys like this channel 👍

This is exactly how it's done. Systematic testing of potential failure points. $1 part. Subscribing and liking. Kudos.

Dealership monkeys. They cannot and should not be able to call themselves " technicians " or even " mechanics " as sll they do is throw parts ar the cars hoping it eill fix the problem.

Can a client somehow protect him/herself against dealership's stupidity and carelessness? Is there a real law in EU for this, that says, that you don't have to pay for labor/parts, when dealership's best work is by guessing changing parts and not proper fault finding using logic and diagnostics (read: skills)? It seems that these days, dealerships are staffed by mechanics who are only part swappers.

Even the pictures are oldschool B/W from analogue 📸

Dear Sir As an Alfa collector,I salute and respect you and your professional atitude.

Wonderful tech! This man knows his stuff!!! Multiair is actually very reliable. But needs some TLC. And this man figures it out. I have such a great mechanic in the Netherlands too. (Homan Bedum). Mechanics like this are worth their weight in gold. Dealerships only want to sell cars (the majority), and many brands dont back their customers up with service or good quality anymore either. So great mechanics become even more important.

Reminds me of my old man thanks

Sir you are my man till I'll drive. We just discover a treasure. Dealer made not only a robbery but he also "rape" the client. Dealer is disgusting

There is the problem with "good" mechanics at dealer not only in England, in Polen too. Only thinking person can be fit for that work. For exchangers thank you.

More videos about this 2 ! Very interesting

Thanks for inspiring mechanics to think and be honest.

The thing that bugs me most with this 2.0 TBI engine is that it lacks an oil dipstick! The good thing is that it fully supports LPG (both Polish and Turkish LPG kits exist and work flawlessly) and it is very tuning friendly (if you know what to do with the Multiair system).

I know that I am well off, but honestly not a single soul to ask and get a meaningful answer... Are the 2.2 diesel engines any good? Since I was a child my father always loved and owned a diesel because he loved the ticking sound and fuel efficiency, so I continued down this road and since my first car I always had a diesel. It is a shame to look at a diesel Alfa, I know, but somehow this petrol ones don't work for me somehow...

No one does basic troubleshooting/diagnosis anymore. A few years back I was 1200 miles from home visiting a friend when my 2019 MB C300 coupe started to have a horrible misfire, mainly while under load. It was under warranty, but neither dealership in the area had service openings for almost 2 weeks. Thankfully both my friend and I are pretty mechanically inclined, and we were able to troubleshoot the issue. It ended up being a single plug with a cracked insulator. $50 US in new plugs and 2 days later the car was back on the road, purring like a kitten.

Well, the dealership will always try to replace anything that might be broken and won't go into details. I had problems with the lock on the steering wheel and the dealership wanted to change the lock, as a result also the lock on the door, new keys and reprogramming, price around €1,500. I went to a locksmith someone recommended and he fixed the lock for €120.

the Multiair. it happens with all the multiair engines.

This is why alfa romeo cars are unfairly labelled as money pits, crap dealerships and crap mechanics well thats not really fair its workshop bonus schemes that are behind 95% of the problems the poor mechanics have to rush every job rarther than concentrate on doing a proper professional job for the customer!. Dealerships are only interested in money fuck the customer!!.

Stealerships are there to make money, Independent car mechanics are there to fix cars.

I wish every shop and every mechanic would just care about vehicles and engines half as much as he does!

One spray can would have done that lol and it goes on better with a can

No problems with my Stelvio. Like most owners. Unlike my Audi.

Dealership plugs a diagnostic tool in and that tells them what to do…. Diagnostics can be useful but you also need to understand mechanics of a system and employ effective fault finding techniques. The best part of this is the dealership still don’t know what caused the fault so don’t have that knowledge for the next one that limps in. But I know a man that does 😁👍

this is true mechanic

I always buy parts by sorting them by price - highest first.

This is how not to do it..

It is Alfa Romeo so they look good but is very unreliable and it shows by low sales numbers.

Great work!

Beautiful!!!❤

I want to know why they couldn't check the injectors on an oscilloscope? Saves removing them. Interesting video.

Great work! You are a good mechanic.. a very rare figure in these days!

Love this guy, takes no shit! Difference between a proper mechanic and a parts fitter so commonly found in dealerships.

As a dealer you should know that the multiair could be the problem. the multiairs in the guilietta ... also had a lot of problems with the multiairs

Interesting that the multiair unit is repairable - here, in Australia, they just swap out the whole unit at any signs of a fault.

Not only alfa but absolutely every car manufacturer nowadays uses the cheapest of the cheapest cheap plastic in the engines. And every new generation of a golf or civic they charge you 5k more.

Had a 2020 Stelvio as a company car. Had problems with cold start misfires and one too occations had to drive 100km before a restart woke the last cylinder. Dealer would not diagnose the car if I couldn’t bring it to them with the car missing while there since the claimed that it is impossible to retrieve history codes from an Alfa. Complained to the leasing company who owned the car they said, no problem to drive the car with the misfire and that if I took it to the dealer and they could not find the problem whitin 2 hours my employer would be billed for the failed diagnostic. After that I concluded that I would never on an Alfa of my own since the dealer in my area are so incompetent.

This is how I aspire to be when I'm your age. Your last minute of the video sums up all my dealer frustrations perfectly. You've gained a new sub!!

THX for that info

Cant wait to see the next video. Hopefully this gets the beast back on the road. Would love to see a step-by-step of the MultiAir removal process. I may have the same problem happening right now.

Why 10W60? This engine uses 5W40.

Very good video! I wish we have such knowledgeable Alfa specialist here in Serbia. I have a 159 with the same engine. I have cleand the intake vavles myself. They where maybe three times less bad that these ones. The engine had about 180.000 km on it when I did it. I am changing the oil every 5-6.000 km (the previous owner/comoany did it at 20.000), and I am using only 100 RON premium petrol. And I have used the injector cleaned aditive once. They are very hard to come by. I had to order them from Germany. I tried it again recenty, but they are unable to ship them here now, for some reason.

old school merc wow take note dealers real alfa expert not kids with no history or skill

An honest and intelligent MECHANIC,....not a parts swapper....

One thing, I learned from this video, thank you Sir! 👌🏻
