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.
Fitted to the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and MiTo, this engine was designed to balance sporty throttle response with emissions compliance. It meets Euro 6 standards through a three-way catalytic converter and closed-loop lambda control. The compact design allows transverse mounting in front-wheel-drive platforms, supporting Alfa Romeo’s compact car architecture.
One documented service concern involves premature turbocharger wastegate actuator binding, particularly in high-mileage vehicles subjected to frequent short trips. This issue, referenced in Alfa Romeo Service Information Bulletin 670.05.2695-TB03, results from thermal cycling and carbon buildup on the actuator rod. Regular highway operation and adherence to maintenance intervals help maintain actuator functionality and prevent boost control faults.
Production years 2015–2020 meet Euro 6 standards; no Euro 5 variant of this engine code was certified (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/670052695).
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 MultiAir II system enables rapid torque delivery and improved fuel efficiency, but requires strict adherence to 19,000 km oil change intervals using Fiat 9.55535-M2 5W-30 to prevent hydraulic tappet and solenoid clogging. Urban driving with frequent cold starts accelerates carbon buildup on the intake valves and turbo actuator, necessitating periodic cleaning. Use of premium unleaded fuel (RON 98) is recommended to maintain knock resistance and optimize turbo response. Vehicles operated primarily in stop-start conditions should undergo turbo wastegate inspection every 80,000 km per Alfa Romeo SIB 670.05.2695-TB03. Lambda sensor health is critical for emissions compliance and long-term reliability.
Oil Specs: Requires Fiat 9.55535-M2 5W-30 specification (Alfa Romeo SIB OIL-07). ACEA A5/B5 compatibility required.
Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all models (2015–2020) (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/670052695). No Euro 5 variant exists for this engine code.
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585. Power output consistent across model range; no market-specific derating documented (Alfa Romeo PT-2020).

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.
Locate the engine code stamped vertically on the left-side cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold (Alfa Romeo TIS A67089). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('B' for 1.8 TBi). Pre-2018 models use a silver valve cover; post-2018 units adopted a black cover with revised gasket sealing. Critical differentiation from other 1.8 TBi units: This engine features an IHI RHF4 turbocharger with integrated wastegate actuator and uses the Magneti Marelli IAW 7GV ECU. Service parts require VIN and production date verification—turbo actuators and ECU units from pre-2018 models are not interchangeable with later revisions due to calibration changes (Alfa Romeo SIB 670.05.2695-TB03).
The 670 05 2695 – Petrol's primary reliability risk is turbocharger wastegate actuator sticking, with elevated incidence in urban-driven vehicles. Alfa Romeo internal field reports from 2019 indicated over 25% of pre-2018 units required actuator cleaning or replacement before 100,000 km, while UK DVSA MOT data shows emissions-related failures are common in city-operated examples. Short-trip driving and delayed maintenance increase carbon accumulation, making proactive inspection and correct oil usage critical.
Analysis derived from Alfa Romeo technical bulletins (2015–2020) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2018–2023). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
