Same vehicle, same issue, except I didn't get the high coolant temp warning yet, but I can see the resevoir isn't emptying/flowing properly. Ordered the part from the link provided, so we'll see. Appreciate the video.
I write from Italy. It would be great if you made a video where you disassemble the broken valve to see if it can be repaired. Perhaps it is just a sludge problem in the coolant as happens on some Vag group pumps. I had the same error, but the next day it disappeared, I wouldn't want to change such an expensive valve only to then realize that mine wasn't faulty.
The same to me. The same error code, sw updated, same error and have to change the valve. They change the internal code of the part… it seems the former one had an issue. Giulia 2.0 petrol 2017 june
Yes it did solve the issue. You will lose some coolant but not all. You’ll lose coolant from the rear passenger side coolant tank. As you can see in the video all I did is top of the coolant tank turn on the vehicle and top off as needed
Yes, when I got the code, I didn’t start overheating automatically it actually took a couple days for my car to start over overheating. I actually cleared the code about three times without the car overheating eventually the car start overheating. That’s why I swap out the part. and yes, there is a bit of coolant that goes everywhere. Once you disconnect the hoses. Most of the coolant came out the reservoir that is closest to the firewall on the passenger side engine compartment. Once I was done installing the new part, I actually grabbed a gallon of water and just sprayed it around where the coolant overspill just to make sure to clean the area and don’t get that coolant smell as I’m driving and engine heat up.
To remove the the 3 coolant hoses from the 3way valve thermostat all you got to do is pul the C clamps with a pick or small flat head screwdriver. Once you pull on the C Clamps all the way up then you can pull on the hoses.
Hey bro the code I got was P2B61-00 ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT. Your code is indicating P007B - Charge Air Cooler Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1). Might be all you need is to change that sensor and you will be good. Ill start with that.
Yes, I see what you mean but it’s weird how it looks on screen but it’s not two colors. It’s actually like a pinkish orange color but I guess once it runs through the vehicle when it gets hot, it turns like orange but I use the OEM fluid, which I’m gonna give you the link now.

@@vincenzopaparo8324 yes same mine was stuck closed. My Stelvio was over heating. Once I charged it problem fixed. Wow 900 that insane here in the states it was $350. I provided a link check it out it might be cheaper.
Does anyone know where the temperature sensor for stelvio ti is. There is literally no videos or diagrams, or pictures online showing where it is located or how to change it.
@@RonDIYMods coolant. But not the 1 on the radiator. The coolant sensor on the engine block. I know it's near the radiator hose on the block. Just want to make sure I pull the correct sensor.
@@viewthearea check out this tread on the forum they talk about the sensor locations assuming they are referring to 2.0 engine. www.giuliaforums.com/threads/engine-coolant-sensor-location.63978/
Hey I have a 2017 Giulia and I have the same symptoms your car is having but when I plugged it in the code that it gave my car was coolant temperature sensor. I’m not whether to replace what you did or just the little sensor, which way should I go?
Hello, if the code your pulling is telling you the temp sensor I would start with that because the 3way valve with thermostat I replace is about $300 when I bought it.
It’s plug and play. Once you start driving the vehicle will recognizes the new part and If you have the check engine on, it will reset itself. After a couple of ignition cycles

I’m glad you like it
What happened finally?
@@19faller After replacing the part it fixed the issue.
@@drjoshuasenneThanks for the confirmation.
Thank you.
You're welcome!

Yes, I’ll try to make the video of disassembling the original unit to see if I can find the fault.
Because this is electronic maybe it will be hard to find out whats happening with this .. For sure I have same issue with Giulia
There are a lot of people who broke the valve after pushing the car to high speed. A friend of mine changed the valve 4 Times without success
Out of curiosity, did you find that the resevoir was filling up slowly and not going back into the engine because it was stuck closed?
Yes, I actually saw that the coolant was boiling and it was overspilling out of the coolant reservoir.
The same to me. The same error code, sw updated, same error and have to change the valve. They change the internal code of the part… it seems the former one had an issue. Giulia 2.0 petrol 2017 june
So there was an update in the part?
@@RonDIYMods yes, it changed the code. Now the car is amazing again
Great video bro!!! Sub
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it bro.
What codes did you get when it went bad?
Hello interesting video. I won't if this is the same part that is affected by this error p0597 open load on electric thermostat?
If it’s telling you electric thermostat then yes
Anyone knows where the ECT valve is located? I'm getting a check engine code P-0116.
im getting the same code, mine says “p0116-00 water temperature signal” what does yours say?
depending on what else the code says besides the actual code, i can let you know where its located
Great info
Do you have an alpha Romeo?
I wonder if the Temperature sensor is on this piece he's changing. The valve@@chrisfromdalane
Did this finally solve this issue? How did you prevent the air got into the cooling system? Thanks.
There's bleeder screws on the radiator you can let the air out through.
@@drjoshuasennedo I have to do it before, or after the termostat exchange? I thought that, if you remove this valve, all the coolant will flow away.
Yes it did solve the issue. You will lose some coolant but not all. You’ll lose coolant from the rear passenger side coolant tank. As you can see in the video all I did is top of the coolant tank turn on the vehicle and top off as needed
Just got the same code but no overheating yet, was it a messy job? Did the coolant puke everywhere when the 3 way valve was taken out? TYIA
Yes, when I got the code, I didn’t start overheating automatically it actually took a couple days for my car to start over overheating. I actually cleared the code about three times without the car overheating eventually the car start overheating.

@@RonDIYMods Thank you so much for the reply, I'll be replacing it next week.
@@williamsebastian88 nice. if you run into any problems let me know to help you out.
After you finished installing your thermostat did you have to bleed the system? Or is it a self bleed..
Pretty much it self bleed. All i did is turn on the engine and refilled the coolant tank near the fire wall.
How did you remove the hose clamps and are the the same clamps on the passenger side coolant resovoir tank?
To remove the the 3 coolant hoses from the 3way valve thermostat all you got to do is pul the C clamps with a pick or small flat head screwdriver. Once you pull on the C Clamps all the way up then you can pull on the hoses.
Hey bro, great video. Can you help me what type of code did it was ? Mine said P007B

Bro i was looking for sensor and cant located it. can you help ?@@RonDIYMods
What collant fluid did u use I see one was orange and pink
Yes, I see what you mean but it’s weird how it looks on screen but it’s not two colors. It’s actually like a pinkish orange color but I guess once it runs through the vehicle when it gets hot, it turns like orange but I use the OEM fluid, which I’m gonna give you the link now. Mopar coolant

have you tried to teardown the valvle and fix it?
No not yet. I still have the old part. I’ll look in to that to see if it can be fix.
