Intermittent front wash/wipe failure.
Gear stick sheared off.
Rear seat broke its mountings.
Oily exhaust on over run.
A real gem with its two stroke warbling.
Starts from cold lovely and will pull away cleanly once the smoke has cleared.
Steady 55 mph cruising with a freewheel facility.
Cooling improved by the fitment of a 'car bra' on the nose with the obvious reduction of front end chipping and fly muck.
Rear tyres last forever. I recommend Kleber tyres for the rears and Woosung on the front to give better initial turn in and through the corner power.
Good afternoon everybody.
I am having a terrific time with a Wartburg 1300 with Golf Engine, 1990, that I bought here in Bosnia in a moment of derision, initially to give it as a gift to friends of mine.
That steering like a pregnant cow on ice is entirely accurate. I still don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if there is something wrong. I am soaked in cold sweat whenever I exit that car. There are many minor things that I will somehow cope with, e.g. the wiper motor failed. There are neither parts nor service at any price here in BiH although there are plenty of Wartburg's around. Neither is there anybody I know in Germany who has a comprehensive selection of parts. Maybe somebody can help me. john_michael_voss@hotmail.com
