🔧 Maintenance
Service Intervals
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 - 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Specific interval depends on engine type and oil used.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial maintenance item. Intervals vary by engine, often around 60,000 - 90,000 km or 5-7 years. Interference engine design means belt failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.

API SF/SG or ACEA A2/A3, viscosity grades like 10W-40 or 15W-40 common, but varies by engine and climate. Refer to manual for precise specification.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. Specific dilution ratio (typically 50/50 with distilled water) and type (e.g., blue or green) should be confirmed from the manual.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Regular replacement is recommended to prevent moisture absorption.
Known Issues
Rust And Corrosion:
Common on older examples, particularly in wheel arches, sills, and around the windscreen.
Ignition System:
Distributor, coil, and spark plug wires can be sources of ignition problems.
Carburetor Issues:
Carbureted models can suffer from wear, gumming, and maladjustment, affecting fuel economy and performance.
Suspension Wear:
Ball joints, track rod ends, and bushings can wear over time, leading to knocking noises and vague steering.
Gearbox Synchromesh:
Some manual gearboxes may exhibit worn synchromesh, particularly on second gear.
