ALFA-ROMEO AR67106 engine (2023–2025) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Alfa Romeo AR 67106 is a 1,995 cc, inline-four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2023 and 2025. It belongs to the Fiat Global Small Engine (GSE) Turbo family, marketed as "Turboblow" in Alfa Romeo applications. Equipped with MultiAir IV variable valve actuation, gasoline direct injection, and a twin-scroll turbocharger, it produces 220 kW (300 PS) and 420 Nm of torque. This engine was engineered for high-performance dynamics and thermal resilience in modern Alfa Romeo platforms.

Fitted to the Alfa Romeo Giulia (952) Veloce and Stelvio (956) Ti models, the AR 67106 serves as the top-tier petrol variant in the GSE lineup with enhanced calibration. Its design prioritizes responsive throttle delivery and refined power output, achieving Euro 6d-FULL compliance through a close-coupled three-way catalytic converter and dual lambda control system.

One documented engineering enhancement is the integration of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system (MHEV), as specified in Alfa Romeo Technical Bulletin 57 00 01 26. This upgrade improves low-end torque delivery and reduces cold-start emissions. Additionally, an advanced thermal management module with electric coolant pump was implemented to optimize warm-up times and reduce particulate emissions.

Compliance Note:

Production years 2023–2025 meet Euro 6d-FULL emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7894).

AR67106 Technical Specifications

The Alfa Romeo AR 67106 is a 1,995 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine designed for premium performance applications (2023–2025). It combines MultiAir IV variable valve timing with high-pressure direct injection and aggressive turbocharging to deliver 300 PS and 420 Nm. Integrated with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, it meets Euro 6d-FULL standards while maintaining sharp throttle response and improved low-end driveability.

Practical Implications

The MultiAir IV system enables precise valve control for immediate throttle response ideal for spirited driving but requires strict adherence to 15,000 km oil service intervals using MOPAR S5 0W-40 to prevent hydraulic tappet clogging and turbocharger oil starvation. The 350 bar fuel system and 48V MHEV demand premium unleaded fuel (RON 98) to maintain injector cleanliness and prevent knock. Aggressive driving without cooldown increases turbo bearing stress; the active thermal management system helps mitigate this. Direct injection necessitates periodic intake valve cleaning. The non-interference valvetrain reduces risk of catastrophic damage in case of timing chain failure. OBD-II monitoring should include catalyst efficiency, particulate number (PN) counter status, and hybrid system diagnostics.

AR67106 Compatible Models

The Alfa Romeo AR 67106 was used in Alfa Romeo's 952/956 platform high-performance trims with longitudinal mounting. This engine received model-specific calibrations, including sport-tuned throttle mapping in the Veloce and Ti variants and enhanced thermal management for improved emissions control. From 2023, it featured MultiAir IV, 350 bar fuel pressure, and a 48V mild-hybrid system per Technical Bulletin 57 00 01 26, distinguishing it from earlier GSE units. All specifications are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped vertically on the right side of the cylinder block, near the exhaust manifold (Alfa Romeo TIS A67106-ID1). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('T' for turbo petrol GSE units). MHEV models feature a black-painted cam cover and underhood labeling indicating 300 HP and "MHEV". Critical differentiation from AR 67101: AR 67106 has MultiAir IV actuator with updated solenoid design, uses 350 bar fuel injection, and includes a 48V iBSG unit. Service parts are not interchangeable with pre-2023 engines due to revised fuel system, thermal management, and hybrid components (Alfa Romeo SIB 57 00 01 26).

Common Reliability Issues - ALFA-ROMEO AR67106

The AR 67106's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump degradation under sustained high-load conditions, with elevated incidence in vehicles with mixed driving cycles. Internal Alfa Romeo field reports from 2023 indicated a measurable share of units requiring fuel pump replacement before 90,000 km, while VCA emissions data shows increased particulate filter clogging in vehicles with delayed maintenance. Short-trip driving without full warm-up increases fuel system stress, making thermal management and fuel quality adherence critical.

High-pressure fuel pump failure
Symptoms: Hard starting, loss of power, misfires, DTCs for fuel rail pressure deviation.
Cause: Premature wear of internal pump components due to prolonged high-pressure operation and fuel quality variations.
Fix: Replace high-pressure fuel pump with updated OEM part; verify fuel quality and replace inline filter per service bulletin.
MultiAir IV solenoid or hydraulic circuit failure
Symptoms: Rough idle, misfires under load, reduced power, DTCs related to valve timing control.
Cause: Clogging of hydraulic passages or solenoid coil degradation due to oil contamination or extended service intervals.
Fix: Replace affected solenoids and flush hydraulic circuit; use MOPAR S5 0W-40 oil at every service to maintain fluid cleanliness.
48V MHEV iBSG unit malfunction
Symptoms: Reduced torque fill, engine start-stop failure, DTCs for hybrid system communication or voltage irregularities.
Cause: Electronic control module degradation or belt wear due to thermal cycling and vibration exposure.
Fix: Replace iBSG unit with latest OEM version and recalibrate hybrid control system via diagnostic tool.
Coolant leak from electric thermostat or pump
Symptoms: Coolant smell, low coolant level, overheating, white smoke from exhaust.
Cause: Age-related failure of electric thermostat or pump seals, exacerbated by thermal cycling and use of incorrect coolant.
Fix: Replace thermostat and/or pump with updated OEM parts; use G12++ coolant and inspect for early signs of leakage.
