Fitment on a used exhaust manifold varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Alfa Romeo 147 ran from 2001 to 2010, with a facelift arriving in 2005, so a 2002 and a 2006 car sit either side of that boundary. Fitment depends on the engine code — if both cars share the same engine code (for example, both running the 1.6 Twin Spark or both running the 2.0 Twin Spark), the manifold is likely to be compatible, but crossing the pre-facelift to post-facelift line does introduce the risk of subtle changes. Always confirm the engine code on both donor and recipient car with the breaker before purchasing.
No — petrol and diesel engines are fundamentally different units with entirely different exhaust manifold designs, and the two are not interchangeable. When searching for a used manifold, make sure you match fuel type as the very first filter, then narrow down by engine code. A breaker will need to know your exact engine code and fuel type before they can quote accurately.
Trim level — whether your 147 is a Lusso, Veloce, Distinctive, or any other grade — does not affect which exhaust manifold you need. Fitment is determined entirely by your engine code and fuel type, not by the specification of the car. You may notice cosmetic differences on parts stripped from different trim cars, but the manifold itself is an engine-driven component and trim is irrelevant.
Give the breaker your full engine code (stamped on the engine block and also shown on your V5C), not just the 1.9 JTD description, as several variants of that engine were fitted to the 147 across its production run and manifold castings can differ. Your registration number will help the breaker cross-reference the exact specification. The 147 is a turbocharged diesel in this guise, so confirm the manifold comes complete with or without the turbo flange as required for your application.
The 147 GTA used the 3.2-litre V6 engine, which is an entirely different unit to the four-cylinder 2.0 Twin Spark, so the exhaust manifolds are not interchangeable at all. These two cars share a bodyshell but diverge completely at the engine and exhaust system level. Make sure you source a manifold matched to your specific engine code rather than simply to the 147 model name.
The 2005 facelift was primarily cosmetic, but engine specifications can vary between pre-2005 and post-2005 cars depending on the variant, so the manifold may or may not interchange. The safest approach is to match by engine code rather than by year alone — if the engine code is identical, compatibility is much more likely. Confirm this directly with the breaker using both registrations, as they can check the donor car's exact spec against yours.
