Greetings from Germany, Thank you for sharing, didn't even know Multiair had a Filter. I really liked you Video and will change my Filter soon with these Informations :)
@@Drivewaybuildz Hi, thank you for your videos. Recently bought a 2011 Abarth Punto Evo and struggling to find the blower motor resistor to replace. Could you help me please where can I find it?
I changed mine on my Guilietta multiair 170 at 75k and it only had a tiny bit of dirt wasn't worth doing. However the plastic mesh has the potential to become brittle so I was glad to have done it. I think you are getting carried away with how frequently it needs to be done just do it evey 75k or 8 years , but change your oil every 6 months like I do.
green grass How long have you owned the car? I guarantee the MA filter was changed by previous owner. It filters the same oil as the standard oil filter and thats changed every service. As the multiair unit is so tempremental its worth cleaning every service as your doing the rest anyway, for the sake of 10mins its better to be safe than sorry. its recommended to change MA filter every 35,000 miles cleaning regularly inbetween to reduce likely hood of MA failure. Looking on forums i've seen some pretty shockingly dirty MA filters. Regarding the 'getting carried away' comment... Some would say the same to changing your oil every 6 months. A service is recommended once a year given the annual average mileage to be 12k mpy. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Drivewaybuildz I do lots of short journeys to work 3 miles each way ,thats why I change it every 6 months. It also runs at its best that way like any engine. There is no recommendation on changing that filter it says nothing in the service book its ment to be a permanent installation. It filters the clean oil that has already been through the main filter so its not got a lot of work to do , its there as a precaution. The multiair isn't known as being temperamental, some of the early pre 2015 units have been known to fail, but i would suggest failure is due to the ridiculously long service intervals , about 18k or 2 years , something like that. Also plenty of smart arses like to put the oil they favour the most to into the engine which is usually wrong. It takes a very specific oil and it has to be right and meet the exact specification number. Its also an expensive little filter , about 35 squid if I remember.
Multiair is ok engine. I got my alfa from alfa forum. So i know older owners. 150.000 now with orginal multiair filter. I think eber helps with oil because there is cold during winter (Finland). But oil change intervall has been 10.000km. Once 30.000km. Castrol magnetic, selenia 5-40w and mobil 0-40w. Now liquild moly 5-40 in. After 6000km there is going to be Time to change water pump etc, changin filter also there.
Greetings from Italy. Great video. Fiat uses Selenia Digitek 0w30 in my 500x 1.4 multiair 140cv, can I topping up by Motul 0w30 or to mix oils could demage the multiair module? Thanks
The short shifter is a simple but teadious job to do. Remove battery and tray and swap the linkage over. The old linkage is normally stuck on and takes a while to get off, over all easy enough. My car is doing ok with the mileage, 85K ish. Its looked after and serviced regular. 👍
Hey, Have you heard about the filter on the turbo? I’ve heard that this filter and the turbo one largely go neglected when following the service intervals, as it isn’t in them! I’ve ordered this part and will be changing on my Punto 135 but I’d recommend looking at the turbo also. Nice vid btw. 👍
Lewis Wilson yes it is. normally people change it along with the normal service of the car, oil, oil filter, multiair filter. but you can change it at any time. 👍. thank you.
You don't have to drain the oil but i would recommend cleaning/changing the multiair filter at same time as a service. Otherwise you will have Clean filter dirty instantly with dirty oil. 👍
hi! if I change the filter in multiair system could solve the problem of the machine that "jumps" when it is cold? the oil going to the module is not already filtered by the oil filter?
horror mask The oil is already filtered by the oil filter, This filter is just to further filter the oil into the multiair as its very sensitive. As for the 'jumping' when its cold, I would not think this would cure this symptom. However it may be worth reviewing the oil you are using. only 5w 40 is recommended for the multiair system. Many are now using Castrol edge(ACEA C3). just ensure it is a reputable brand. I personally use Millers race oil. If you oil is not the culpret it maybe worth getting your multiair system checked by a professional. Do you have any engine codes coming up to do with misfire?
@@Drivewaybuildz I use SELENIA K PURE ENERGY MULTIAIR 5W40 ACEA C3 oil. as an error I have P0300 and P0301. the machine is fine but when I turn on the heating fan it goes wrong for 1 second! only when I turn on the heating fan!
horror mask that code is related to misfire. more likely to be spark plugs or coil packs. the code for multiair issues is normally P1061 (cylinder 1) P1062 (cylinder 2 ) and so fourth. selenia oil has recently been proven to actually be bad for the multiair unit leaving more deposits than normal oil. i would recommend checking your spark plugs to see if they are the issue. 2nd i would change coil packs 1 and 2 with 3 and 4. see if the codes then change to cylinder 3 and 4 then its your coil packs. check these 1st and go from there. it could be multiair failure but start with the cheaper items to replace first. hope this helps.
@@Drivewaybuildz ah ok thanks! I changed the spark plugs and changed the number 2 cylinder coil. I will try to move the 1 with the 2 which is new. what oil do you recommend? I thought the recommended oil was the best...
horror mask i would recommend doing a full service to the car again, including multi air filter and try using castrol edge c3 acea. see how that goes. 👍
I m looking for this microfilter for a long time.i bet some of the executive alfa romeo dealers say nothing about this to customers here in my country.
Yes. Alot of people and main dealers are not aware of this filter at all. It is very important to the health of the Multiair unit and the engine itself.
@@Drivewaybuildz Dealers only care to earn money. When i bought my used guilletta multiair with 109.000km i didn't trust the services the previous owner did. For example the coolant replacement. It was red.I doubt coolant replacement had been before the car came to my hands. My mechanic imports Ravenol products which are top quality. So he checked the catalogue to make sure what's the proper for my car and it was G11 (shinny yellowish). We replace it along with the liquid bottle because i found it tearing a little bit on top. After 2 weeks on the new bottle i saw rust. I figure out that the new coolant as it circulates cleaned in some percentage the engines ... Im forgetting the word now. So we clean the bottle from the rust and refill it with fresh coolant from my spare bottle.
Yes it is a shame. Not all dealers but most don't seem to care once you walk out the door with a brand new car. That is why i refuse to take any of our cars to even a garage unless absolutely necessary. I know the job is done properly this way, it's cheaper and i also like working on cars any way. 👍
Yes it is. I would recommend cleaning the filter everytime you do a service and replace it for a new filter on the 3rd time so clean 2 times then new filter on the 3rd time. 👍
Olly Courten as far as 'service' goes yes. you can change some of the internals like springs etc. but this is the equivelant to a standard oil filter and oil change on the engine.

No problem buddy. 👌
I was just wondering how you installed the short shifter and also how your car is doing with the current mileage on it. Thanks
The short shifter is a simple but teadious job to do. Remove battery and tray and swap the linkage over. The old linkage is normally stuck on and takes a while to get off, over all easy enough. My car is doing ok with the mileage, 85K ish. Its looked after and serviced regular. 👍

AJ H can you be more specific as to what a turbo filter is? far as im aware turbos dont have a filter. unless you mean the standard air filter. ?
@@Drivewaybuildz was thinking the same damn thing, turbos have filters ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 lol
@@Drivewaybuildz the nut where the oil feed line goes in the turbo contains a filter..
@@Drivewaybuildz it’s the oil feed pipe to turbo the banjo bolt has a filter in it remove bolt clean with brake cleaner and put back
hi , where you buy the silicone hose for intake cold air ?

It is a TBF performance intake pipe. 👍
Hello mate,
Do you know if I have one on my grande punto t-jet?
Looked on Internet but couldn't find anything about it?
No Bud you don't. Only on Punto evo 👍
@@Drivewaybuildz saves me a job then. Thanks a lot.(Lovely car by the way)+++
@@ginobragoli1448 Thank you!! 🙌🏻
Great tutorial vid! Is it possible to change the Multiair filter alone without changing the oil?
