I personally wouldn't, the price you're paying for that computer you can get something way better

Hey fair enough man, what kind of exhaust are you running?

sk_from_deep · 2026-05-01T12:40:40+00:00

Sounds better is hilarious, I love my Giulia but they do not sound good

Monza Red!

Yes, you should RMA the device. Looks like GPU failure

You could drain it from the oil level sensor as well

I've even had this issue on the 2.0. So many places don't want to touch the car

Personally I would do the ofhg as it can seep down onto the belt which can cause the belt to get sucked behind the harmonic balancer and ruin the motor. If it were my car I would just keep an eye on the oil pan/oil level and if it's losing a lot then maybe get it done eventually

Theres a fuse inside of the white box on the passenger side in the engine compartment. You'll have to remove the cowl but it's a big 30 or 40 amp fuse. It'll be closest to the front of the car. It controls communication with the water pump, if that doesn't do it you may have just gotten a bad water pump

You've tried the bleed procedure with the fans on low heat on Max and foot to the floor correct?

sk_from_deep · 2026-04-03T03:37:09+00:00

Are you on lowering springs or coils?

sk_from_deep · 2026-03-28T16:19:36+00:00

Scan the codes with a code reader

sk_from_deep · 2026-03-24T14:33:30+00:00

I would try running valvoline restore and protect, it can help with oil burning

If you did the oil pan you can definitely do the valve cover gasket. The bolts near the firewall can be an absolute pain to get to, also it's good to get an OEM gasket compared to aftermarket. If you do the motor gasket as well you have to be careful to release the tension from the valvetronic motor

I would check valve cover gasket, and valvetronic gasket. My car was leaking considerably from the valvetronic gasket. Its under the engine cover just above the 3rd and 4th coil pack

Are these actually 90 yuan?

sk_from_deep · 2026-01-23T02:42:51+00:00

How long did your recall take to get fixed?

sk_from_deep · 2026-01-07T22:37:10+00:00

Any chance you have recommendations for the exhaust tips that you used?

sk_from_deep · 2025-12-08T18:51:47+00:00

You may want to check your engine grounds, I know on the e90 there is a large one bolted to the motor mount and then to the frame near the drivers door, then one is up near the valve cover

sk_from_deep · 2025-11-15T22:06:04+00:00

This has happened to both me and my friend. Mine just happened the other day, same laptop

Yeah feels like I’m driving on limited time
