In this video, we explore the potential issue if engine oil is found in the intake duct of the Alfa Romeo Giulia (and also the Stelvio). Before worrying about a turbo failure, try removing the belt (which can be easily removed in these two types of vehicles without needing to disassemble the entire engine) and the tensioner, under which you will find a flange that needs to be removed.

Below, you will find the centrifugal separator for vapours. It is advisable to replace the factory part with a modified one: you can find it on eBay with the code 404369233719 for £64.90, with free shipping; change it before reaching 62,000 miles as recommended by the manufacturer.

The quality of the lubricant you use is also very important.
