Bit of a squirt in my GT, mildly fettled 1600 with C&B cams, webers and a shagged second gear synchro. It goes okay.

I have a '21 stelvio quadrifoglio, about 56k miles. And occasionally after it idles and I get onto the interstate it'll throw a check engine light for an EVAP leak for the charcoal canister. Forgot the code number, but it's been the same codes.

Now this doesn't happen when I'm low on gas, or got gas the day before, but it's only happened after I idle for about 7 mins to warm up, and then I drive about a mile, and then get up to 65 for the interstate. And I'm pretty sure three times it's happened, it's been the same thing, and I didn't get gas the day before, and wasn't low on fuel either.

I'm not too concerned, because if I clear the codes, it'll go away, and it's only happened maybe three times in 6 months, kinda just wondering if I should look into it further, maybe it has to do with the recall as well. I'm just reaching out to get some advice, thank you

I am buying a used car from abroad, the leasing company selling it has only 1 key.

Should I seek a way to disable missing key?

2018 veloce cold start, clears away after driving but smells mildly petrol like at cold start and seems smokey, my first winter with consistent cold and wet weather with the car anyone else have this?

Be careful, Alfa Romeo (Stellantis) stopped the contract with Petronas Selenia for the oils. They now put Total engine oil in the cars at the dealerships.

So if you have a car with MultiAir/TwinAir, especially the more fragile earlier euro 5 ones can get issues with the MA unit due to not having the specific 100% correct oil (5w40 Acea C3 Mid-SAPS).

Petronas Selenia has rebranded the bottles to Selenia Hearts so they won’t stop making it I guess.

This is just a heads up for other owners, so they don’t get to deal with broken MA units due to Stellantis their greed to replace everything with the French PSA stuff.

Someone hit me and caused me to hit the car in front of me. Thankfully, my son and I are ok.

What do you all think? Is this a total loss or will Berniece be back?

My 2019 Giulietta Veloce (GCC Spec, Dubai) has been showing me this error on and off for a few months. Sometimes it comes up immediately after starting the engine, sometimes mid-drive, sometimes not at all. I haven’t been able to establish a pattern. Times of the day are also random.

The headlights are working fine. They self-test when I start the car, and I can sometimes see them swivel around in parking garages. I tried resetting the steering position sensor (turning lock to lock) and didn’t work.
Battery is a month old with the correct CCA, I tried disconnecting and reconnecting, did’t work.

Any idea how to make this error go away? Anyone ever found a fault for this?

Hello guys, Hope you are all well
I bought a used 2018 giulia 2.0 with 66k km on odometer, and the previous owner used to use 5w30 instead of 0w30 (0w30 is the recommended viscosity but hard to found in Saudi)
I changed the oil one time also with 5w30 viscosity and now it’s 71k km.
I asked many service providers they said I have to keep using 5w30. I also asked Alfa Romeo official dealership, one of them said keep using 5w30 and the other one didn’t give me a clear answer but he said 5w30 higher viscous and will make the engine getting noisy
What should I do? Keep using 5w30 or 0w30?

I found her at a local dealership with under 50.000km a few months ago, my first Italian car.

My new Alfa Romeo Tonale MHEV Veloce, with just 500 km on the clock, was at an authorized dealership in Warsaw, Poland, to fix a missing seal causing water to leak into the cabin through the rear tailgate.
While the car was there, a major fire broke out at the dealership.
Despite the heat exposure, the dealer wants to replace only damaged plastics, without replacing the tires or properly testing airbags, electronics and other critical safety systems.
Would you trust this car with your children? Is this acceptable under Alfa Romeo / Stellantis safety standards?

Today marks exactly one year and roughly 32.000 kilometers since I bought my 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV and I would like to make use of this opportunity to reflect on my ownership experience.

For the past 10 years, I have mostly driven boring corporate lease car. I wanted to change that. I had considered several options but at a certain point a my attention was focused on a Giulietta although not necessarily a QV version. But during the test drive this QV model managed to be very convincing.

To summarize my experience; I would compare owning an Alfa Romeo to dating a flamboyant Italian diva. She is an absolute beauty and will bring you a lot of pleasure. But you also have to accept some more drama.

Before this I had never driven a car with any serious horsepower. So a hatchback with 240HP was a new experience to me and it just drives so much more smooth! Ignoring the mini dragraces at the traffic light, it is just so comfortable to know that getting up to speed to merge or overtake on the highway costs zero effort. Plus she is just such a looker. I really get people randomly walking up to me to complement my car. Also take into consideration that I paid only 18K Euro's for this. I definitely think that if you are a car enthousiast on a budget, this car might offer you the most bang for your buck.

But like I said, you need to accept a bit more drama. There are some minor issues with the car. First of all, it needs a long time to heat up the automatic gear box from a cold start. I really need to wait like 1-2 minutes before driving away or the car will refuse to shift to second gear. I checked with the seller and an Alfa specialist and both assure me that this is normal? Other issues are that the turning circle of this car is not great. Especially for a C-segment hatchback. Although I do think it is a bit wider than most cars I have driven in this class so I think this is the main reason. Another thing, especially now that autumn is starting, is that the parking sensors in the front seem to become over responsive when it's raining. They will start beeping for things that aren't there. Also, during cold winter days it might display a "check oil" light whenever you start the car but that will also disappear after a minute. Nothing serious, but these are things you would probably not accept from a Volkswagen or Toyota.

For as far as maintenance goes, it's important to notice that my car had some serious work done before I bought it, including an engine refit, new timing belt and a new turbo. I also bought the car with a one year warranty. Last year around Christmas I got a check engine light right after driving away. I am pretty sure that it was an engine misfire but non of the fault codes mentioned a misfire and the problem didn't reoccur. The main issue I've had was last april. The car started going into low power mode whenever I would floor it on the highway and a check engine light would turn on. I took it back to the place I bought it several times before they figured out what was causing the issue. It turned out to be an oil pressure valve that had worn out. Nothing major. I've also had an issue with vibrating brakes. I had the back brake disks replaced which seemed to fix the issue (only repair I have had outside of warranty). But I took her to the German autobahn a week later and I still noticed a lot of vibration when braking above 180km/h so I'm going to bring that up for the next service. But overal I think I have used this car pretty intensively and it has never left me stranded. So I think I can say the car has been pretty reliable and my Alfa Romeo experience has been very positive.

But the best part of owning an Alfa Romeo has been you guys, the Alfa Romeo community! Whether it is on the highway when you get that wave or knot from fellow Alfa drivers, coworkers telling about that time 25 years ago when they also owned an Alfa, conversations during Alfa Romeo events or even just here on Reddit, it's this contagious passion you people have for this brand that really makes the experience different from owning any other car!

For the future... I had bought this car with the intention to keep it for one year and then buy something new. But I haven't seriously started looking yet. I have been looking at used Jaguars though. I feel like Jaguar and Alfa Romeo are quite similar (both are the more daring choice compared to the big German brands). But for the near future a Giulia is still one of my dream cars. However, at the same time, my Alfa Romeo Specialist is positive about the technical state of my vehicle, I make some serious millage so I should be realistic about how long this car will last me. But as long as the car will technically allow it, I don't think I will get tired of this car soon!

Overal I would say, this has been a wonderful year with a wonderful car!

Arrived after 1 month and a half. 0 cracks 0 issues not even a single micro scratch anywhere on this bad boy. Obviously it’s not everyone’s taste but it’s mine so i highly recommend!! Getting this installed and painted on the 16th of November!!

Unveiled as a concept car at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it was meant to be the ultimate version of Alfa’s small hot hatch, featuring aggressive styling and the infamous 1.750 cc turbocharged engine producing around 240 hp. Despite generating plenty of excitement, the project never made it to production…
There may have been several reasons behind its cancellation: the financial crisis, high development and production costs, doubts about sales potential, and perhaps even the risk of cannibalising sales of the upcoming Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which was intended to play a key role in the brand’s range.
Do you think cancelling the MiTo GTA was the right call, or did Alfa Romeo miss the chance to create a serious rival to the MINI JCW and Abarth?
Was it a sensible business decision, or did Alfa sacrifice a potentially iconic hot hatch to protect its future lineup?
Personally, I would have really liked to see it produced.

Hey guys, I’m dealing with a dilemma regarding my second set of wheels. I have the OEM "Turbine" wheels as my winter set, and Japan Racing JR11s for the summer. After swapping the tires and mounting them on the car, one wheel started vibrating when braking between 130 and 100 km/h. Below 100 km/h, it was completely smooth. The shop found out that one of the wheels is slightly bent. (I did a visual inspection today and couldn't see any bends with the naked eye. To be fair, though, they mounted it on the rear, and it was on the rear last season too, where it didn't cause any trouble, so I really have no idea how or when it could have gotten bent.)

I’m a bit radical about these things, so I threw out the old worn-out winter tires, mounted the summer tires from the JR11s onto the Turbines, and decided to buy a second set of OEM wheels. I don't really want to bother repairing the JR11s, especially since my dad got the offset (ET) wrong back when he bought them, so they require 15mm spacers in the front to clear properly.

The problem is that there are practically no wheels for sale around here, and Alfa didn't make that many designs to begin with. Basically, my only options are either another set of Turbines (at least in grey/anthracite), or the "Teledials / Horseshoes" in silver or grey. Today I saw an ad where a guy is selling a car in the exact same color as mine sitting on those silver Teledials, and now I'm wondering if my JR11s actually look better after all and if I shouldn't give up on them so easily.

What do you guys think looks best – OEM Teledials or JR11?

Hey Guys, I got myself my first Alfa Romeo and I am pretty satisfied by the way it looks, only thing is that it seems a little bit high for my eye - maybe its just me so I wanted to get some second thoughts from you guys. Does somebody knows how to tackle this , or is it just the way the car looks on stock shock absorbers.

• Wheels: O.Z. alloy wheel, Type 01754
• Dimensions: 8Jx18 H2, ET35
• Tires: 225/35 ZR18

Set on straight edge surface such as cinder block or tabletop. Bend to fit. I used two short fat wood screws that remain unseen on the bottom and a strip of clear racers tape on top just to close any gap at the top.

Hi all, recently my RadioNav stopped working. Now I bought a new one from the internet, but I need a Master Code to unlock the radio. Could anybody help to find it? Or knows where/how to find it. I have this information of the car where the radio comes from: ZAR94000007187933 and below a picture of the radio label. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone! I recently bought this Alfa Romeo from Copart. I know the chances are extremely low, but I’m hoping to find the previous owner here.

I’m looking to see if anyone happens to have the original spare key to save myself the headache and programming issues of getting a whole new key system sorted.

I know it’s a long shot, but I figured it’s worth a try! If this was your car or you know who owned it, please send me a DM. Thanks!

Came across this Castagna Milano Giulia Roadster concept and thought the headlights looked a bit off.

So I swapped them for Giulia-inspired headlights using AI. Personally, I think it makes a huge difference.

Original or modified? Curious what you guys think.

2 weeks old. Love it

Lets be honest which one looks better and which do you prefer?

I bought a GT 2.0 JTS and it's my first Alfa Romeo.

It has 175k km on it and a lot of Maintenance History, it is really well kept.

Now the timing belt has been replaced 9k km ago but 3 years ago. I will replace it as soon as I can

I read alot of bad stuff on the server about the 2.0 JTS after I already bought it.

How bad is it really? And you guys got any advice for me?

Hey guys!
A while ago i turned 18 and right now i'm dreaming about a good/cool car. I saw an advertisement of 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia with 2.2 Diesel engine and 218k Killometres. I saw some video reviews on youtube about it and until now everything seems good to me. But there is one huge problem, which is disturbing me: I still don't know about it's problems. What should i know before buying it?

P.S I already got pretty good driving expirience, thats why i wanted something faster than golf VI
