Just replaced this on my Giulia. I watched your video a week back and thought to order it. Replacing it was super easy... one thing im worried about is my coolant seems to be at "min". Is it common for these cars to go through coolant overtime? Its been over a month since it was filled and i dont see any signs of a leak. should i be concerned?

Have you ever gotten a p-0116 error code. ECT valve? Wonder were I can find that piece to replace. It's affecting my throat check engine

Had to replace mine about a month ago. Great thing is I had duct tape. I was able to put water in it and keep it going until I got where I can park it at my home.

did you replace the hose as well or just the bleeder screws on the coolant valve

This part blown in middle when I was riding))) water and smoke was lot

Happned to me last week, when i was parking to garage a seen a smoke coming from under the hood.. When i opened the hood the main expansion was empty, then i noticed leaking coolant from that screw. So i just changed the bolt with O ring seal and refill the missing coolant. Luckely i was driving from Frankfurt which is almost 500 km away, and it happed at hometown .

You should be more specific as to which 2017s require the hose replacement/update. I believe this only applies to those built in January 2017, not Mid Year 2017 (those built in May and later). Can you confirm this?
