Known Issues

Electrical Gremlins:

Common for vehicles of this era. Issues with central locking, power windows, dashboard warning lights, and sensor failures can occur.

Suspension Wear:

Front suspension components (bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends) can wear due to vehicle weight and usage, leading to knocking noises and imprecise steering.

Rear Axle Bearings:

The torsion bar suspension on some models can experience wear in the rear axle bearings or torsion bar pivot points, causing 'clunking' noises over bumps.

Rust:

As with many cars of this vintage, particularly in regions with salted roads, rust can affect wheel arches, sill panels, door bottoms, and the underside.

Interior Trim Wear:

Plastic trim pieces, seat fabric, and headliner can show wear and tear from regular use and UV exposure.

Cooling System Leaks:

Hoses, radiators, and water pumps can develop leaks over time.
