Cheap Alfa Romeo 159 Engine Mount

The Alfa Romeo 159 ran as a single generation from 2005 to 2011 with no major structural facelift, so mounts from across that production run are often interchangeable — but whether a 2006 unit crosses cleanly to a 2010 car depends heavily on whether the engine code matches, as different engines use different mount configurations. Supply your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to the breaker so they can confirm the exact mount type rather than going by year alone. Never assume fitment purely on year.

Yes, engine mounts on the 159 are specific to the engine fitted — the mount geometry, bracket positions and load ratings differ between the petrol units (such as the 1.8, 2.2 JTS and 3.2 V6) and the diesel units (such as the 1.9 JTDm and 2.4 JTDm). Always match by engine code first, then fuel type as a secondary check. Giving the breaker your exact engine code is the most reliable way to ensure you're quoted the correct mount.

Trim level makes no difference to engine mount fitment on the 159 — Lusso, Ti and Veloce are specification packages affecting interior, equipment and cosmetics, not the engine or its mounting arrangement. What matters is the engine code, which can be the same across multiple trim levels. Focus entirely on matching the engine code rather than the trim badge.

Gearbox type can influence engine mount fitment because the weight and torque loading differs between a manual and an automatic transmission, and some mounts or associated brackets are specific to one or the other. Always tell the breaker both your engine code and whether your car is a manual or automatic so they can confirm they're supplying the right unit. Do not assume a mount from a manual donor car will be correct for an automatic 159 without checking.

The Sportwagon estate body shares the same underpinnings and engine options as the 159 saloon, so engine mounts are generally determined by the engine fitted rather than the body style. A mount from a Sportwagon with the same engine code as your saloon is therefore likely to be compatible, but confirm with the breaker against your registration to account for any ancillary or bracket differences that may have changed during production. Engine code remains the key detail to supply.

The 1.9 JTDm engine code is a strong starting point and mounts from other 159s carrying the same code are often compatible, but there were running production changes across the 2005–2011 build that may have affected ancillary brackets and mount variants — so a direct swap is not guaranteed without checking. Give the breaker your full engine code and registration so they can cross-reference the specific mount rather than relying on the engine family name alone. This is the safest route to avoid ordering a mount that looks similar but doesn't align correctly.
