Where a diesel Alfa Romeo Tonale most often hides trouble
- EGR valve. We look for the rough running, warning lights and soot that a sticking EGR valve brings.
- Injectors and glow plugs. Smoke colour, start-up and live data help us judge injector wear and glow-plug condition.
- Turbocharger. Diesel turbos work hard; we check for boost loss, smoke and play that signal trouble ahead.
- Dual-mass flywheel. A shudder on take-up or rattle at idle can mean a dying dual-mass flywheel — expensive, and easy to miss on a short test.
- AdBlue / SCR system. Where fitted, we check the emissions system and any stored faults that can fail an inspection or trigger limp mode.
