Disadvantages of the Alfa Romeo 960A1000 engine
- For such power, this turbo engine is quite reliable and does not have any special problems;
- The fuel injection here is direct and the intake valves are very quickly overgrown with soot;
- The resource of the turbine and hydraulic compensators is highly dependent on the lubricant change schedule;
- Change the timing belt every 60,000 km, or if it breaks, the valves will bend;
- With very active driving, oil consumption often appears up to a liter per 1000 km.
