Audi 50, 86 (EU)

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Audi 50 and 86 (EU) models require brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
50 1.3 (44 kW) (1977-1978)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
50 1.1 (37 kW) (1974-1978)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
50 1.1 (44 kW) (1974-1978)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.

Additional Notes

  • All three engine variants of the Audi 50, 86 (EU) covered in these specifications share the same brake fluid fill guidance: the hydraulic brake system reservoir is to be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks.
  • The "between min and max" specification is a reservoir level indicator rather than a fixed volume figure, meaning no discrete fluid capacity in liters or quarts is assigned to the brake system for any of the listed variants.
  • The 1.1-liter engine appeared in two output states across 1974-1978, rated at 37 kW and 44 kW respectively, yet both share identical brake fluid reservoir level specifications under normal use conditions.
  • The 1.3-liter 44 kW variant carries a narrower model year span of 1977-1978 compared to the two 1.1-liter variants, though the brake fluid reservoir specification remains consistent with the others under normal use conditions.
