The Alfa Romeo 670 05 2695 – Petrol is a 1,742 cc, inline — four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2015 and 2020. It features direct fuel injection (MultiAir II), variable valve timing, and a twin — scroll turbocharger, delivering 121 kW (165 PS) and 240 Nm of torque. This powertrain was engineered for responsive urban driving and efficient highway cruising, with MultiAir II enabling precise cylinder charge control.

The Alfa Romeo 670 05 2695 – Petrol is a 1,742 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine developed for compact performance hatchbacks (2015–2020). It integrates Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' MultiAir II valve control system with a low-inertia turbocharger to deliver crisp throttle response and linear power delivery. Designed to meet Euro 6 emissions, it supports Alfa Romeo's shift toward downsized, efficient powertrains without sacrificing driving dynamics.

The Alfa Romeo 670 05 2695 – Petrol was used across Alfa Romeo's 940 platform with transverse mounting and shared architecture with Fiat and Lancia Group vehicles. This engine received platform-specific tuning for sharper throttle response in the Giulietta, and from 2018, updated ECU calibrations improved cold-start emissions, creating software compatibility limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 670 05 2695 – Petrol offers strong performance and efficiency, but long-term reliability depends on driving patterns and maintenance. Engines used for regular highway driving with timely oil and filter changes are generally robust. However, urban-driven units are prone to turbo and intake carbon issues. Adherence to service intervals and use of Fiat 9.55535-M2 5W-30 oil significantly improves longevity.
The most common issues are turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking, intake valve carbon buildup, timing chain tensioner wear, and lambda sensor degradation. These are primarily linked to short-trip driving and fuel quality. All are documented in Alfa Romeo service information bulletins, with specific cleaning and replacement procedures outlined.
This engine was used in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and MiTo models from 2015 to 2020. It was designated as the 1.8 TBi 165 HP variant. No other Alfa Romeo models or derivatives outside the 940 platform received this specific engine code. It is distinct from the older 1.8 TBi units used prior to 2015.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the 670052695 platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
In combined driving, the 670 05 2695 – Petrol achieves approximately 6.8 L/100km (41.7 mpg UK). Highway consumption can drop to ~5.5 L/100km (51.4 mpg UK), while city driving may reach 8.2 L/100km (34.5 mpg UK). Real-world economy depends on driving style and traffic conditions. Fuel tank capacity is 60 L for balanced range.
Yes. The 670 05 2695 – Petrol is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or skips, piston-to-valve contact will occur, resulting in severe internal engine damage. The front-mounted chain is generally durable, but tensioner wear or oil starvation can lead to failure. Any timing-related noise should be investigated immediately.
The engine requires Fiat 9.55535-M2 5W-30 specification oil, which meets ACEA A5/B5 standards. This oil is formulated to protect the MultiAir II hydraulic system and timing chain. Oil changes should be performed every 19,000 km or annually, whichever comes first, to maintain engine health and prevent sludge buildup.
