Giulia gearbox problems and carbon build up

[Mazinbrum]

I love the looks of the Giulia but I’ve just watched the video below which says there are lots of problems with the ZF box due to the Alfa software and carbon build up is really bad due to the direction injection, not to mention the electrical gremlins.

Prob the usual bullst. The same box is bombproof in Bmw world. Same thing about carbon buildup, people (mostly non-owners) seem to CRAVE issues for Alfa's - on a personal level. Says a lot about people dunnit?

The video does say the ZF is bulletproof in BMWs but not in Alfas due to the software map.

This is the first in a series of (i think) 6 covering a 6 month long term test of the Giulia veloce
