Alfa Giulietta MA - It using a lot of oil

If PCV and turbo are new/been checked then it only really leaves external leak, valve seals or ring issue to cause the oil loss

That was my next step. Just want to make sure if I missed something. Will do a compressor test on the cylinders

Only replace the PCV valve yesterday late. Will take drive and after that will do the rev test.

What spec oil are you using in the engine?

Just repeating what has been said in the past, make sure oil isn't present in the coolant and the oil isn't collecting on the topside of the undertray, it is like a baked oil sponge if you park on level ground.

Did you check the old PCV? If it is holed or the return is blocked maybe oily vapour sucked into the manifold, but 1L every 1000km no idea?

If you’re using the correct spec oil it sounds like worn piston rings. What’s the mileage of your car?

Got full service at agent. Using the correct specs oil from Alfa agent. Alfa G got 160k on the clock. I also pull the service history at the agent just to verify. I am not happy with the turbo diagnosis with I received. There is oil in the intake and oil on the MAP sensor however they say the turbo is fine. There is no play on the turbo sharft. I person say it may also be a brittle crackshaft seal. My G is not leaking oil. I can't get my head around how a crack seal can cause oil to be burnt.

Whoever said crank seal for burning oil hasn’t got a clue.

Let's try this one more time. May I ask what spec oil is currently in the engine?

Selenia 5w-40 multiAir 9.55535.s2

Might be worth getting a compression test done. It will let you know if you have piston ring or piston issues.

They are rare but not totally unheard of.

A compression test won’t necessarily highlight an issue with worn oil control and oil scraper rings. If you have access to a compressor, get hold of a cylinder leakage tester and carry out a leakage test. You could do one run dry and a second run with a couple of squirts of engine oil onto the pistons and note your results. The oil should form a temporary seal and thus produce less leakage.

That might just be oil from the spark plug tube gaskets. Worn valve stem oil seals will give you excess smoke on start up. Idle and overrun conditions. Although because the multi air doesn’t have the same manifold depression as a conventional engine you may not see it at idle.

Please explain the spark plug tube gaskets

So if I understand correctly it might just be a bad top cover gasket? Yes a compression test would be the way actual to go to be more or less 70% sure before one starts removing parts which is actual correct.

At the bottom of the spark plug tubes there are rubber gaskets. 55233644 ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA 1.4 SPARK PLUG SEAL 55233644

Thank u. Will get here locally in RSA at the agent's

You might want to get something like this so you can see the lower part of the cylinders which might be causing your issue.
