Character

1.9 JTDm

"GT/159/Brera. Fiat 1.9 JTD based. DMF failure common. EGR fouling. Swirl flap issues on intake manifold. Turbo actuator. Alfa tax on parts. Fun to drive, expensive to keep."

2.2 JTDm

"Giulia/Stelvio diesel. All-aluminium. Modern diesel tech. DPF/SCR. Too new for complete long-term data but FCA diesels of this gen are improved. Service intervals expensive at Alfa dealers."
