Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 (check manual).
Known Issues
Rust Corrosion:
Prone to rust, particularly in wheel arches, sills, and suspension mounting points. Early Alfasuds had severe rust issues; the 33 improved but still requires vigilance.
Carburetor Tuning:
Carburetors (Solex/Weber) require regular tuning and synchronization for optimal performance and emissions.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical faults.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear in suspension bushings can affect handling and ride comfort.
