Engine Types:
Covers various engine variants prevalent during 1992-1998, likely including Twin Spark (1.8L, 2.0L) and possibly 2.5 V6 models.
Typical Horsepower:
Varies by engine (e.g., Twin Spark approx. 140-150 hp, V6 approx. 166-190 hp).
Typical Torque:
Varies by engine (e.g., Twin Spark approx. 170-180 Nm, V6 approx. 220-250 Nm).
Injection Type:
Electronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI) or Bosch Motronic systems common.
Oil Change:
Typically every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, subject to driving conditions.
Timing Belt:
Crucial for Twin Spark engines, typically replaced every 50,000-70,000 km or 5 years due to the 'Twin Spark' ignition system's dual plugs.
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 10W-40, 15W-50) and API/ACEA ratings (e.g., API SG/SH, ACEA A2/A3).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific type depends on original fill/region.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil with appropriate viscosity (e.g., 75W-90).
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Dexron-III or equivalent ATF fluid.
Rust:
Prone to rust in common areas like wheel arches, sills, and around windows, especially in areas with salted roads.
Electrical Gremlins:
Can suffer from minor electrical issues, particularly with aging wiring or connectors.
Engine Oil Leaks:
Valve cover gaskets and oil pan seals can degrade over time, leading to leaks.
Suspension Wear:
Bushings and ball joints are common wear items, affecting handling and ride comfort.
