Second Hand Alfa Romeo Giulia Engine Mount

The Alfa Romeo Giulia launched in 2016 and has run as a single generation through to the present, with a facelift arriving around 2020 that brought interior and tech updates but no fundamental platform change. Engine mounts follow the engine code rather than the model year, so if both cars share the same engine code your mount is likely compatible, but mid-production mounting changes can occur without a clear cut-off point. Because your car sits right at the facelift boundary, confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The engine code matters above everything else for a mechanical part like an engine mount, because Alfa Romeo offered the Giulia with a range of petrol and diesel units — including the 2.0 turbo petrol, 2.2 diesel in different power outputs, and the 2.9 bi-turbo V6 in the Quadrifoglio — and mounts are engineered around the specific engine and its position in the bay. The year alone tells a breaker very little, as two cars from the same year could have completely different engine installations. Your engine code appears on your V5 or can be confirmed via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker is the single most useful thing you can do.

Trim level does not affect engine mount fitment; what matters is the engine code fitted to your car, which on the Giulia range varies independently of trim name. A Veloce and a Super both offered with the 2.0 turbo petrol will use the same engine-side mount, whereas a Quadrifoglio with its 2.9 V6 will use a different unit entirely regardless of trim badge. Give the breaker your engine code and they can match the mount correctly, ignoring the trim name.

Both years sit within the same Giulia generation and the 2.2 diesel engine family was carried through that period, so there is a reasonable chance the mounts are compatible if the engine codes match. However, ancillary and mounting detail changes can occur mid-production without a clear announced date, so you should not assume compatibility purely from the year and fuel type. Ask the breaker to check the part against your specific registration to be sure.

Both the rear-wheel-drive and Q4 all-wheel-drive Giulia variants have engine mounts, as the engine itself is present in all versions; the difference with Q4 models is the addition of front-axle and driveshaft components rather than any change to the number of engine mounts. Fitment of the engine mount still comes down to the engine code rather than the drivetrain layout. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific mount position you need — NS or OS — differs between your car's setup and the donor vehicle.

Used Giulia engine mounts are available through UK dismantlers, though supply is more limited than for mass-market vehicles, so providing your engine code upfront will help breakers locate the correct unit faster. The main thing to watch out for is ensuring the mount matches your engine code precisely, given the range of engines fitted across the Giulia lineup. Ask the breaker about the mileage and condition of the donor vehicle, and confirm the mount against your registration before agreeing a purchase.
