This video is the full version of my Alfa Romeo Giulietta clutch replacement challenge. I've added chapters (time stamps), so you can find what you need, or you can watch it all the way through. Someone told me once they did a clutch change in 4 hours(!) I'm not sure if thats true or not, but I can beat that, here's a video of 1 hour :-)
I was originally quoted over £2000 by a garage to do the clutch, but these jobs usually cost more than the quote!
I've really enjoyed doing the clutch change, filming and editing it for you viewers to watch. I do all of this in my spare time. If you like my video, please give a thumbs up and subscribe, it really helps me out making these videos for the public to watch.
My car is a 2013 Alfa Giulietta VELOCE 2.0 JTDM-2 140BHP.

Hi awesome video i must say u very brave to take on a task like this

@michaelhaller8495 4 күн бұрын

You are an absolute legendary mechanic I am so impressed. I am thinking about buying a 2012-2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV manual. But everyone says they are too unreliable and problematic. What do you think? I had a lovely Alfasud it was an 1981 model from memory I had to get a water pump and timing bet kit put on it and it needed a full clutch kit at one stage. The water pump had seized into the block I had to chop it out with a cold chisel (actually my Dad RIP was a legendary mechanic he hacked it out of the block for me). It isn’t a good setup. I put it in with a new O ring and plenty of anti seize for next time. We also put a full clutch kit in and had the flywheel machined. I did 100,000km trouble free though and loved driving it. We then purchased a four door Alfa Romeo 33 which was about a 1983 with 100,000km on it. I just serviced it regularly and only put brake pads and tyres on it in 50,000km. I lost it when my partner and I split up sadly. I have bought sensible, boring, family cars for the past 20 plus years to transport my family around in. Now I have the chance to buy a say 2012-2013 Alfa Romeo high performance turbocharged manual hatch or sedan. These sell for about $14,000AUD in good condition many have between 100,000 and 160,000km on the speedo. Occasionally a lower km one pops up. I thought perhaps a QV Giulietta some do 0-100kph in 6 seconds and are about 190kw. I like a quick toy. Being a family man in AustraliaI don’t have bundles of cash to keep it on the road if it keeps breaking down. I would appreciate your guidence. Are these good reliable vehicles or is there a better model I should look at instead. Thanks for your valuable time. Kind regards Michael H from Australia csimic23@gmail.com

I dont even need to do mine yet, and i was having horror thoughts of all kinds of special tools needed. But you demonstrated to use most of the tools i already have, so just a second hand engine hoist and locking tool and i would be good to go. Thanks for this information.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, my other half’s release bearing is starting to get pretty noisy so a new clutch is probably on the cards in the near future, I’ve done a few before but videos like this make it so much easier! How did we ever manage before the days of KZfaq 😂

HI Joe. You're very welcome. It did take a little longer filming and doing the clutch replacement but as no one had filmed it yet i'd thought i would. Glad i've done it now and I hope when you get to do your other half's car, that this video helps. You can message me if you have any questions:-)

Hi, thanks for the video. I'm currently trying to change the same transmission in my fiat doblo. Could you tell me what the socket for removing the bolts holding the clutch in is called. Can i just use a male star shaped torx set the same as the dual mass bolts or does it need to be a special square shaped points one? Cheers.

@maverick51 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comments. think it’s a torx and it was a while. I’m sure I’ve mention it on my video at the time. Cheers

@eszenix 5 ай бұрын

This is a great video, I’ll be doing it myself soon so a great resource! I just have a couple of questions. You may not reply but here goes 😅… Firstly why was there a need to remove the callipers? And secondly is there a need to remove the outer tie rod/track rod end from the hub? Surely if you’re also disconnecting the steering rack from the subframe then there is no need? As the steering rack will dangle along with those components as they’d still be attached to the hub? Or am I missing something? Also I have found that if removing that lower ball joint is tricky and you’re not replacing the arm itself, then you can undo the 2 bolts/nuts that connect the arm to the subframe, pull it out and it’ll give you more than enough angle with the hub to pull out the driveshafts.

@maverick51 5 ай бұрын

It was just easier to removed it plus i changed the pads too. i also removed the tie-rod because i thought you needed to, to get the driveshaft out. You live and learn. I had to do my lower control arm the other day and disconnected the anti roll bar link and bottom ball joint. Anyway cheers for the message

They have the worst engine mount location, like on opel. every place you mount it, engine twist in radiator. This can only mother love. Maybe engineer shoud go to retire!! just in case they dont do any crazy engineering again. To remove starter and supports the engine i can probably remove gearbox, change the clutch and mount gearbox on any VW group car.
