NEED TO KNOW

> Rust is the big problem:

front wings, rear wings,

door bottoms, rear section

of outer sills, front section

of inner sills, boot loor

and the rear panel where

A-pillars meet scuttle. > 10-valve cars use K Jetronic injection. Tiny bits of dirt can clog the injectors, and they su er from air locks in the fuel system, leading to corrosion. 20-valvers use Motronic injection, which is less vulnerable. > Manifolds can crack on 10-valve models. Aected examples make a ticking noise from cold that disappears when the manifold warms up.

> Gearboxes are strong, but need oil changes at 100k miles.
