Here was the problem in USA with the Yugo.Yugo service intervals replace timing belt between 25k to 30k miles due to the interference engine. American's had an abysmal track record with basic maintenance such as oil changes. when this car came out you did not have 7 year coolant all you had was the green OAT Ethylene Glycol green coolant that needed changed every 2-3 years regardless of miles oil changes needed to be done every 3 months 3000 regardless if you did not hit that interval and the gear oil needed changed every 25k to 30k miles back then including spark plugs needed changed every 30k miles. Back in in 1987 there was not too many interference engines on the market and consumers didn't understand by not replacing the timing belt. The belt snaps goodbye slapped pistons goodbye moter. They blamed the Yugo cars but it was the consumers fault for lack of maintenance as every one in the 1980's cars were throw away. Also we did not have high mileage oil till about 1999. So that did nit exist. These cars were also had a carb and people were using ethanol blended gas even back as far as 1992. Ethanol/Gasohol will corrode and destroy all rubber seals in a carb based system. If the manufacturer says change timing belt at that interval and you dont. That was not the Yugo's fault it was the owner being careless and stupid. engine coolant back then had to be changed like gear oil clutch fluid and auto trans fluid every 25k to 30k miles. These cars got a bad rap because no one maintained them. They thought of very cheap cars as throw away such as the Plymouth Reliant/Dodge Aries K Ford Escort Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon as cheap throw away cars.
Interesting car

Awesome !! Do you by chance know the approx. weight of a 1988 Yugo GV ?
Its about 800 kilos or less
Would like to have heard more about the car itself, than that awful foreground "music".
