Giulietta petrol engine reliability
Discussion
Is it the 1.4 MA engine you are referring to?
Had mine for 3 years now with 41k on the clock
Some of the first models suffered with MA unit failure, normally caused by one or more "flaps" not opening properly sending the car on limp mode.
Most cars have had this issue within the first 3 years therefore all was changed under warranty.
Either than that there are none known common issues.
Some people have reported to have bought a bit of a lemon but overall seem a good engine.
I haven't heard of any common issues on the 1750 model either, although QV owner should be able to advise better

Yes its the 1.4 MA. Have had a look on the Alfa forum mentioned but most of what is on there relates to the pre 2013 cars out there. Wondered what people's experiences on here were.
I keep seeing quite a lot of Giulietta's on the road recently and they are nice looking cars, but the stories of engine issues with earlier petrol models and things like squeaky seats etc has made me wonder. As a result I have narrowed my search to post 2013 registered cars.
