What if: Afrika Corps gets T-34

A different tank model is not going to reverse what happened in the end in Africa. Libyan port facilities and coastal infrastructure ultimately could have helped the Axis to win from the very start if it had been better.

True, but that takes foresight, time and resources. My idea was to speed up the german success, by using a superior multipurpose tank, instead of (at least) the PzII and PzIII.
 
Regarding spare parts while not ever lasting, I think it is safe to assume more then enough parts could have been scrounged from damaged and abandoned T-34's in Russia to keep the tanks going.

the V2 engines in that era rarely hit 80 Hours of life before rebuilding/replacement, and that was with the conditions in the USSR, not the desert
Horrible air filtration.

Next, only the Italians used Diesel in quantity, not he DAK
