The Alfa Romeo 932 A.000 – Petrol is a 1,995 cc, V6 naturally aspirated petrol engine produced between 2017 and 2023. It features a 90-degree V6 configuration with DOHC valvetrain, direct fuel injection, and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts. In standard tune, it delivers 206 kW (280 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, providing linear power delivery and high-revving performance characteristic of Alfa Romeo's grand touring heritage.
Fitted exclusively to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the 932 A.000 – Petrol was engineered for high-performance driving with immediate throttle response and an aggressive exhaust note. Emissions compliance is achieved via direct injection and a close-coupled three-way catalytic converter, allowing it to meet Euro 6d-ISC-FCM standards across its production run.
One documented concern is premature carbon buildup on intake valves in low-RPM driving conditions. This issue, referenced in Alfa Romeo Service Information Bulletin A932-01, is attributed to the absence of port fuel injection, leading to oil and fuel residue accumulation. From 2020, revised ECU calibration and updated maintenance intervals were introduced to mitigate this risk.
All units produced between 2017 and 2023 meet Euro 6d-ISC-FCM standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9320). No Euro 5 variant of this engine exists.
The Alfa Romeo 932 A.000 – Petrol is a 1,995 cc V6 naturally aspirated engine developed for high-performance applications (2017–2023). Despite its relatively small displacement, it achieves high specific output through an oversquare design, high compression ratio, and advanced valve control. Designed to meet Euro 6d-ISC-FCM standards, it balances track-ready performance with road legality and emissions compliance.

The high-revving V6 delivers exhilarating performance but demands strict adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals using Fiat 9.55535-S3 M1 0W-40 to prevent cam lobe and lifter wear. The absence of a turbocharger enhances throttle response but requires high-RPM use to avoid intake valve carbon buildup. Always operate the engine above 4,000 rpm periodically to maintain valve cleanliness. Direct injection provides precision but necessitates fuel system cleaning every 60,000 km to prevent injector coking. Pre-2020 models should verify ECU calibration updates per Alfa Romeo SIB 9320-01. The dry-sump lubrication system requires correct oil fill volume and warm-up procedure before high-load use.
Oil Specs: Requires Fiat 9.55535-S3 M1 0W-40 specification (Alfa Romeo SIB 9320-02). Not compatible with ACEA A5/B5 or BMW Longlife-04.
Emissions: All production (2017–2023) meets Euro 6d-ISC-FCM (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9320). Not certified for RDE Step 2 without particulate filter.
Power Ratings: Rated under ECE R85 standards. Output consistent across model range; no market-specific derating documented (Alfa Romeo PT-2017).

The Alfa Romeo 932 A.000 – Petrol was used exclusively in Alfa Romeo's 952/956 high-performance platforms with longitudinal mounting and dry-sump lubrication. This engine received model-specific tuning-for enhanced throttle response in the Giulia Quadrifoglio and revised cooling in the Stelvio Quadrifoglio-and from 2020 received updated ECU calibration to improve intake cleanliness, creating minor service part differences. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the front face of the cylinder block, near the timing cover (Alfa Romeo TIS A93204). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('F' for V6 280 PS). Pre-2020 models have a red cam cover with "Quadrifoglio" badge; post-2020 units feature revised ECU connectors. Critical differentiation from 2.0L I4: This V6 unit has a 90-degree bank angle, dry-sump oil system, and dual exhaust manifolds. Service parts require model-year verification—oil pump assemblies for Giulia are not interchangeable with Stelvio due to accessory drive layout (Alfa Romeo SIB 9320-03).
The 932 A.000 – Petrol's primary reliability risk is intake valve carbon buildup in early builds, with elevated incidence in low-mileage or city-driven examples. Internal Alfa Romeo quality reports from 2021 indicated a notable share of pre-2020 engines required intake cleaning before 80,000 km, while UK DVSA records show increased misfire-related faults in stop-start traffic. Low-RPM driving and delayed maintenance exacerbate deposit formation, making high-RPM operation and service adherence critical.
