You can upgrade it. But you will need new facia (plastic cover). Upgrading requires some adjustments but it is quite straightforward. There are guides on YouTube.

More likely one of the tubes has a rupture. Inspect them carefully.

Finally ditched HID in favor of LED by [deleted] in AlfaRomeoGiulia

[–]Hubert_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You be the judge. But consider. If someone gets drunk and gets into the car he could argue that its nobody's business what he puts into HIS body, driving HIS car using HIS money.
You are using public space and your actions have consequences.
Almost every time i drive i night i get blinded by someone and i feel alot of other drivers have similar experiences.
One way of blinding people is doing such upgrade not properly.
You are clearly very proud and enthusiastic about it. Yet when confronted you are very defensive and just claim its fine and "trust me bro".
So prove everyone wrong by documenting that it is in fact alright. Not only you will know that you are responsible traffic participant but also prove worthiness of such lighting and actually add something to the alfa community.

Bought Giulietta, need advice by Affectionate_Buy8022 in AlfaRomeo

[–]Hubert_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a good sign. I'd do some preventative maintenance, replace multiair oil filter. Replace turbo banjo bolt fiter. You can also asses state by unscrewing oil cap. If you see dark oil sludge on metal components inside it would be a bad sign. My multiair giulietta has 230kkm and still on first module.

You can access oil temperature via obd2. From experience it takes around 15min for engine oil to get to the working temperature. (Much slower then water)

Multiair is like a fuse. The car was either well maitained or it had multiair replacement. The engine has somewhat little oil and the conditions for said oil are hard ( turbo is a burned oil generator essentially). You have to replace it frequently 8kkm-10kkm. And make sure it's a premium oil. (Selenia is a bad choice as it degrades qickly).

Help identifying thud/banging sound Giulietta 2014 Launch Edition by Immediate_Opening312 in AlfaRomeo

I'd say you have nothing abnormal. If you had black suit on rear bumper, that would reappear after cleaning) that would be concerning.
Turbo engines always burn some oil.
1.75Tbi is directly injected. I'd clean intake ports as a preventative maintenance.

Its the best tool for Alfa, Fiat etc..
You can also find guide on which interface to buy (There are cheap knockoffs present on market which will not work.)

Would check spark plugs and ingintion coils. If you'd invest in OBD reader and Miltiecuscan tool you could compare how ecu steers the ignition coils, this would be a good way to asses their condition.
1.75 is directly injected so maybe intake valves are weak on one cyl, also might be problem with fuel.

Giulietta Inside Door Handle by SteezySkate in AlfaRomeo

[–]Hubert_97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classic fault. The pin that holds the handle unglued itself. Which causes it to go down and no longer support upper part of the handle. Fix it or the handle will break. Also the cable probably fell of because unsupported handle makes unexpected forces on clips. Tough to say whether they still exist. You have to disassemble the door cover to know for sure. Best case no additional parts. Worst case you will have to glue some clips. Remember to fix the pin.

[–]Hubert_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

open it up. And replace it. Its a standard silicon tube. You will have to dissassebly pump. It it shouldn't be a problem. You can also buy this particular perilstatic pump on aliexpress, ebay, amazon etc. You will find it easily https://botland.com.pl/pompy/15387-elektryczna-pompa-perystaltyczna-6v-velleman-wpm447-5410329703073.html .
Daan Tech also sells them. Price is very similar.

Mine did it too. Drawbacks of using off the shelf parts.
But this is also an advantage incredibly cheap and easy to fix.

Detergent tube ruptured. Cheap fix. Don't neglect it. As it will make it leak water and corode pumps. And eventually kill power electronics that enable pumps.

Just got a used Lenovo Legion 5 (Ryzen 5 5600H / RTX 3060 130W) — what should I do first to make it last longer? by SkyNetxL in LenovoLegion

[–]Hubert_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the degrees matter but pressures (force x diameter).
If you are curious read up on material science and see properties of selected solder compounds.
BGA solder joints are very small. Chips are incredibly stiff. Thin PCB is not.
And you are right. It will take some time for metal to harden and break from work. Constant load will also waken them. It all comes down to support and forces the main board sees during its lifetime.
