What are the problems with the 1750 TBI engine?
Years 2005-2011

Answer

One of the problems encountered in the 1750 TBI engine, the power unit adopted by Alfa Romeo in the 159, Brera, Spider and 159 Sportwagon models, is caused by crystallization / condensation of the oil inside the relative (delivery) pipe connected to the turbine. This problem and consequent damage occur over time and it is advisable to prevent it by using a quality oil, regular maintenance and perhaps by going to an Alfa workshop which will probably replace the hose in question with one modified by the manufacturer.
