Just sharing my repair of a coolant leak from the turbo degas line to the reservoir. The plastic shell was cracked and the soft inner hose was cut spraying coolant everywhere. When I parked I saw the steam coming from under the hood. It was an easy repair. Simply removed the damaged hose and...

Hi everyone. I’m almost at my wits end. I’m having some serious problems with my giulia. All started back when I got a eurocompulsion v2 tune on the car. I upgraded my intake and exhaust. I’ve removed the catalytic converter and have mufflers at the back. I even installed race mode and have a go...

Hi All. I bought my first alfa just under a year ago. A 2017 Giulia Veloce 280 with 22000 miles on it. More recently, I have experienced strong burning smells, particularly bad have boost or cold starts. Its been in the garage, where they tried to tell me that the turbo needed replaced, before...

I had previously posted about my car smoking on start up and after a bit of pestering the dealer has looked at it whilst the car was in for a service. I've been advised that they have found oil in the intake system and are now advising that the left hand turbo & gaskets will need replaced...

Hi, I'm considering getting a 17 45k mile Giulia QV. However, the owner said the fuel pumps and turbo are replaced recently because of a slight oil leak. Will that cause more trouble for the future owners? (Just not understand whether it's a big issue on the car condition) Thanks!

Is a BOV or just venting the stock diverter valve to atmosphere safe on these cars? I have seen online about cars with MAF sensors shouldn’t vent to atmosphere but I have seen people on this forum saying they are doing it and it’s fine. Been thinking about doing it but don’t want to run into any...

I was told by the dealer that I need a new WASTEGATE ACTUATOR!! Unfortunately they told me that the actuator is nit sold separately and has to be purchased with a brand new turbocharger assembly. They advised me that it is best to look around for just an actuator and that they don’t want to...

Hey guys I have a Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0t 2019 that I've had for over a year now, Recently I noticed that my car makes a very loud prominent whining noise on full throttle. It sounds exactly like a supercharger whine. I want to say that its my turbo going bad, but I felt that would be way too...

I just had the 30,000 mile service done on my 2018 Quadfog at about 28,500 miles. During the routine 30,000 service the tech also replaced a solenoid and valve for a turbo by pass valve that was causing a consistent Service Electronic Throttle Control error message. The tech also found a...
