    Known issues to look for

    • Timing belt failure

      critical

      Sudden engine stop, no compression, bent valves.

      Replace belt + tensioner + water pump every 60k mi / 5 years.

    • Rust in rear hatch and sills

      moderate

      Bubbling paint around hatch corners, rockers, and battery tray.

      Inspect and treat rust early; keep drains clear.

    • Fuel injection cold start issues

      moderate

      Hard cold start, uneven idle when warm.

      Rebuild K-Jetronic warm-up regulator and check cold-start injector.

    • Clutch cable wear

      moderate

      Heavy pedal, then sudden lack of clutch action.

      Replace clutch cable at first sign of stretch.
