Must say, this might be the very best channel for Giulietta-Owners, so many helpful tips, although I got the german version, left steering, but doesn´t matter. Please carry on, I will use some of those by the time. Much better than any handbook I guess. PS. mine is just 5 years old, mostly not needed yet but the time will come... And a lovely car, seems to be constructed repair-friendly
Mate thanks for all your Alfa uploads I've learnt loads from you and given me the confidence to go ahead and DIY my car and save alot of money all the best
I needed this video today as I've put a 2018 Veloce front bumper on my 2015 QV. Hands down, this is the best "how to" channel for the Giulietta on TH-cam. Thanks so much Tony.
Nice, just got a QV line and want to update the grille , very similar to my old GT in terms of bumper removal , good to have a nice clear video though, avoids any nasty surprises ...👍🏻
Your videos are so satisfying. You have very steady hands, watching you do it feels like an easy job, but an average idiot will suffer a lot, I know that from experience. :) Another thing is the tools, there is so many things I need to buy. :) Thanks for a brilliant content you have here.
One thing I noticed today when changing over my headlamps, is that you can adjust the height of the bumper relative to the bonnet by removing the fixing bolts, and using the 55mm torx in the fixing hole. By tightening the secondary torx inside the fixing the opposite way to the fixing bolt, you can adjust the height of the bumper fixing, and the panel gap with the bumper.
Thanks Michael. Hope you’re enjoying them. Please subscribe for more if you haven’t already. Lots more planned including the upcoming MOT this month. Thanks.
Did my badge other day heat gun and flat head screwdriver. Really useful video mate also I would stay youre cars had a replacement bumper at some stage hence the missing screw and tipex writing behind it but nice for ten years old
Thanks and yeah, I thought the same about the bumper too. I know the car had a headlight changed at a dealers once upon a time, so it may have been protocol to Mark it up then, but yes I agree. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it.
Hey Tony, Love your Giulietta series. I found it very clever you used the abs to bleed the brakes! :D Did you find it hard to line up the panel lines after doing this? i want to remove the bumper to get to the fog lights so I can sand a spray them to match the paint of the car so I won't have to worry about them oxidising anymore, as well as maybe changing the front grill to honeycomb however I'm worried the pannel lines will look crap after.
Hi Cornflakes. I’m not 100% on how they come apart, but I imagine it would be a challenge to remove them without removing the bumper. Definitely something I’ll look in to as id love to clean mine up. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@mikemk2573 è fantastico. cercherò di fare un video per mostrare le parti dietro le quinte per aiutare gli altri. forse più saranno in grado di farlo come hai fatto tu. ben fatto
Great video! I need to find the intake pipes for the intercooler. I would be nice to get a red one, do you where to get them. Also I see the protector covering the intakes too. The reason I am asking because my front area got damaged against the deer lol
Hi RENZ. That’s a shame to hear. It’s something I had thought of doing too, but I have not searched where to buy parts from yet. I believe the retaining metal ties holding the hoses on are single use, so they need replacing too. Good luck with it. Thanks for watching and sorry I can’t help more today. 👍
Hi thanks for the video it really helped me to change my grill but i also wanted to switch the 2 lower grills ( with front parking sensor ) but i saw that both of the grills are held by clips and another plastic part that looks like it welded to the bumper ... do u have any idea how to do it ? Thanks again
Hi Asaf. There’s a video on the channel about removing the front fog lights completely including the plastic surround. You should be able to find it on the channel. All the best 👍
Hi @@vialettotony Thanks a saw the video but it doesn't show the part i talked about - I'm talking about the 2 front grills like here www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/images/156090415-4368-1-800.jpg any idea how to change them ? Thanks again !
Hi Honda. Yes, I believe there is a drain valve to the left side of the radiator which is accessible once the shield is removed. I hope that helps. All the best 👍
Hello! In the video you said there was a slight oil leak from the pipes to the intercooler. I have a similar slight thinking about the pipe, but I have the following problem. Once I drive my car and reach the required temperature, suddenly my cooling propeller turns on, the temperature arrow does not move from 90 degrees. This does not happen so often, but it happens for the second time as the difference with the first was about 100 miles I stop the car on the spot and reach 2000 and 3000 rpm seeing how lightly there is blue smoke for a moment and if I stand behind the exhaust there some heat. After this smoke comes out, the cooling fan stops working and everything works perfectly normal, at least that's what I think. Checking the oil level has not even moved what could be the reason?
Hi georgi. Not 100% sure but blue smoke would suggest oil for sure. Did you watch my early videos, particularly the air filter video and the MAF cleaning video? Probably worth checking your MAF to see if it’s covered and oil is returning back in the light the air channels. Good luck All the best and thanks for watching. Really appreciate it Vialetto Tony 👍
Do you have any knowledge as to whether this bumper removal guide would be the same or very similar to a 2016 model? I have a cracked honeycomb grill that I’m looking to replace. Thank you
@@stahlhart8998 ah, I see. The answer is no I believe. The intercooler and crash bar would be in the way. Taking the bumper off is easy to do though. I wouldn’t be scared of giving it a go. All the best.
Thanks for letting me know. Problem is, i think due to a minor accident the prev owne had n what I could see so far something is broken at the top corner of the bumper. And i am afraid the bumper wont go back on that easily anymore. Or might not clip in...thats why I avoided taking it off so far...but if i want the newer grill i have to....take care
@@stahlhart8998 I feel your pain and can’t help you with that I’m afraid. The only advice would be to have a really good inspection before you start, take it slowly, and get someone to help you when you lift it off, to minimise any flexing. Good luck. All the best.
Well so i just found out that the clip for the T30 screw which holds the end of the bumper flush to the side is broken....prev.owner or e mechanic used a washer n bigger screw to hold it kind of in place..but the bumpers end sticks slightly out...any ideas on how I could fix that...do u know of a way to reconstruct a plastic clip somehow? Thx best regards ...
😬 sounds a bit sub optimal. Reconstructing plastic is outside of my skill set unfortunately. Other than a larger bracket somehow glued to the bumper, you may want to think about leaving it as is if you’ve only just noticed it, or a new bumper from eBay or scrap dealer?
Yeah u are right, just thinking ahead ...wanna replace the grill with a later model one...n what if I have to change a bulb...very annoying this bumper issue...when i bought the car a month ago i noticedvthe slightly sticking out corner but stupid me didnt invedtigate , looked saw a bigger screw thought well who cares,....sometimes u should look twice 😣. Thx for your thoughts n reply all the best
@@stahlhart8998 take the opportunity to treat it as a mini project and get the job satisfaction from it. Hopefully you’ve seen the front bumper video start to finish and the headlight removal one too. It’s surprising how easy it all comes apart and can be fixed. You sound like someone who’s clear on their target, so I’m sure you’ll be fine. Cheers.
Hello, actually more annoying then a real problem. True. The good thing is that on the Alfa most seems to come apart rather easyly. Worst case screws an aluminum angle and done...but as u said better to leave it how it is for the moment...never touch a running system ...have learned that over the years 😃... About the money also. on ebay a to my specs painted new bumper over 500 , scrapyard one around 250 n in no really good shape...shipping is killing most good deals...sadly....so ...for now just leave it how it is is probably the best...thx again for your advice. All the best
Ps btw do u know how to remove the bumper when there is a light washer system?! Do I have to remove the shields of the washers before I take the bumper t off or not? Thx
Hi Stahl. Not sure to be 100% honest… I probably look to remove the shields first and then just go slowly once all the fixings are removed. You may be able to see from underneath once the underpants is removed.
Hello, thx for your reply. Looks like the washer unit is moun ted on the bumper. So no need to remove anything beside some hoses...nice dude on alfaowners told me
Well now I discovered that for some reason the grill I bought doesnt fit the bumper. Cant get it all alligned.there is a gap between the Alfa badges mounting socket n the bumper. At least 2 fingers wide.Which I dont get. Ppl buy these 2016 grills all the time for the older Giuliettas...had to even make spacers to get a nice even fit...will check again today.something is off..glad i have a spare bumper to test everything out before I remove the one from the car...git it to either practice plastic welding since i have a broken holding clip on my actual bumper or wrap it n put on a spoiler lip n make some other mods without damaging the actual bumper...scrapyard bumper needs a lot of tlc to even consider putting it on...but was 1/5 of what a new one woukd cost..so ... N i must say plastic welding it is working out good so far...but now I have to check again..cant be that the grill only gives me trouble...all the best
@@stahlhart8998 are you sure it’s definitely a Giulietta grill and not one for another Alfa? Just a thought. Good luck with it though. Sounds like you’re enjoying it all. 👍
Hi Steven. When you tighten the 4 top torx screws up, put some pressure on the front of the bumper to push it backwards. That helps reduce the gap. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. All the best. 👍

Great video..gonna attempt it on my next day off as I need to remove headlights to upgrade to LEDs
You were correct about the badge. It simply sticks on; you just need to be mindful of the alignment, but this is helped with badge itself.
Good to know. Thank you.
Thanks Tony, your vids have been most helpful for me.
Glad to have helped. Thank you so much 😊
Have a great day. All the best 👍

Not sure if anyones said, but that badge is just glued on. I used a bradle and gently worked from the middle out.

Can you drain the radiator once the front plastic shield from under the bumper is out?
Hi Honda. Yes, I believe there is a drain valve to the left side of the radiator which is accessible once the shield is removed. I hope that helps.
All the best 👍
Good evening woukdbi need to remove the bumper in order to find the radiator cap?
Hi Michael. There is no radiator cap, only the expansion tank. Hope that helps. All the best 👍
