Depth Of Coverage:
Comprehensive, covering from basic routine maintenance to full mechanical and electrical system overhauls, including detailed diagnostic procedures and specifications.
Oil Change Interval:
Annually or every 10,000 km (6,000 miles), whichever comes first (typical for performance vehicles of the era, consult manual for exact recommendation).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Every 3-5 years or 40,000-50,000 km (25,000-30,000 miles) due to age and potential degradation of rubber components. Crucial for this engine to prevent catastrophic failure.
Engine Oil Specification:
API SG/SH or ACEA A2/A3, viscosity typically 10W-40 or 20W-50 depending on climate and operating conditions (verify with manual).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, suspension bushings, aging fuel lines and rubber components, ignition system components (spark plug wires, distributors), exhaust system corrosion.
Engine Specific Concerns:
Potential for timing belt tensioner issues, fuel injector seal leaks, and valve guide wear over time. K-Jetronic system may require specialized knowledge for tuning and diagnosis.
