Campaigns and weak points of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and GiuliaKnown weak points
- Engine / equipment
- Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia (2.0 Turbo petrol and 2.2 diesel)
- Period mentioned
- 2016 onwards
- Symptoms
- Loss of power and higher consumption from carbon on injectors and intake (petrol); a fuel gauge that reads too high; exterior lights that fail; on diesels, fire risk from the alternator cable rubbing on the EGR pipe.
- Possible cause described
- Documented recalls (KBA/ADAC): water in the lighting electronics (December 2016–May 2018), a coolant line that could come loose (2016–2018), the diesel alternator cable touching the EGR (18/1/2017–18/9/2018), the fuel gauge (31/3/2016–26/7/2019, fixed by software). Direct injection encourages carbon build-up.
