Alfa Romeo Brera Air Filter Replacement Parts

The Alfa Romeo Brera ran from 2005 to 2010 as a single generation with no major facelift, so on the face of it a 2006 and a 2009 car are within the same production run. However, fitment depends primarily on engine code rather than year, so confirm that both cars share the same engine code before assuming the filter will swap straight over. Always verify with the breaker against both registrations to be certain.

No — petrol and diesel engines use entirely different air filter housings and filter elements, so a filter from a petrol Brera will not fit a diesel Brera and vice versa. The Brera was offered with petrol engines including the 2.2 JTS and 3.2 JTS V6, as well as a 2.4 JTDm diesel, each with its own filtration setup. Always match on engine code first, which you can find on your V5C or via a VIN check.

No — trim level has no bearing on air filter fitment for the Brera. Whether your car is a standard Brera or an S specification, what matters is the engine code, as the filter is determined by the engine fitted rather than how the car is equipped. Focus on matching the engine code and fuel type when sourcing a used filter from a breaker.

The air filter itself is matched to the engine rather than the drivetrain, so both the Q4 four-wheel-drive and the standard rear-wheel-drive 3.2 JTS V6 Brera use the same engine and in principle the same filter element. That said, there can be differences in airbox mounting and ancillary pipework between drivetrain variants, so confirm the specific part with the breaker against your registration to avoid any mismatch.

The 2.4 JTDm engine was used across several Alfa Romeo models of that era, which means the air filter may well cross-reference with other vehicles sharing that engine code. However, differences in airbox packaging between models can mean the filter element is the same while the housing differs, so give the breaker your engine code and registration rather than just the engine size to ensure you get the right part.

Gearbox type does not affect air filter fitment — the filter is part of the engine's induction system and is the same regardless of whether the car has a manual or the Selespeed automated gearbox. Stick to matching on engine code and fuel type, and the gearbox fitted to either the donor or your car can be disregarded for this part. Confirm with the breaker against your registration as always.
