Is the 2.2 JTDm Multijet II reliable?

Alfa Romeo's 2.2 diesel (Giulia and Stelvio) has a good reputation: a German guide rates it as very reliable and a 210 hp Stelvio covered 100,000 km in a test without any faults. The sources mainly record leaks and oil consumption, the odd particulate filter and EGR case, and two one-off campaigns: the fuel filter gasket (2018 Giulia) and the alternator cable next to the EGR pipe (2017-2018 Stelvio).^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

Is the 2.2 / 2.4 / 3.2 TDCi (Puma) reliable?

Ford's Puma diesels (2.2, 2.4 and 3.2 TDCi) power the Transit, the Ranger and, badged HDi, the Boxer and Jumper. The sources consulted document occasional injector and EGR faults and, on the Ranger, oil pump failure; the 3.2 has hardly any faults cited.^[7][8][9]
