Toyota sold the 1980 Celica in ST and GT form, the GT bodied as both a two-door coupe and a hatchback, with standard and automatic transmissions listed for the ST and for the GT hatchback. The service and repair procedures here are Toyota's own for that model year, not figures carried across from a neighboring year that merely looks the same.

Known issues on the 1980 Celica. One recall stands on federal record for this model year, against the electrical system's alternator, generator and regulator: a faulty press die used in manufacturing alternator pulleys left pulleys installed on certain vehicles that may crack and break during vehicle operation, and the battery would then be constantly drained. Owners have logged 2 complaints against the 1980 Celica, and Toyota has issued 7 technical service bulletins for it.
That record puts the charging system near the front of the queue on a car of this age. Whether the job is a charging-system diagnosis at the alternator or a routine service interval on an ST or a GT, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the correct specification for the 1980 Celica.
DUE TO A FAULTY PRESS DIE USED IN MANUFACTURING ALTERNATOR PULLEYS, PULLEYS INSTALLED ON CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY CRACK AND BREAK DURING VEHICLE OPERATION
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE ALTERNATOR PULLEYS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNERS.
