Known Issues

Engine Performance:

Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection can be sensitive to dirt and tuning. Idling issues and lack of power can occur if not properly maintained.

Electrical Gremlins:

As with many cars of this era, electrical issues can arise due to age of wiring and connectors.

Body Corrosion:

While the stainless steel panels are highly corrosion resistant, underlying chassis components and fasteners can rust if exposed to harsh conditions.

Door Mechanisms:

Gullwing door mechanisms require proper adjustment and lubrication to operate smoothly and seal effectively.

Cooling System Efficiency:

The rear-mounted engine and front radiator setup can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not meticulously maintained (e.g., fan operation, coolant flow).
