Additional Notes

  • Across all Audi 80/82 (B1) variants covered in these specifications, the cooling system capacity is uniformly 6.2 liters. A cooling system capacity of this type represents the total fill volume for the entire circuit, including the engine block, cylinder head passages, radiator, and any expansion reservoir.
  • The 6.2-liter figure applies under normal use conditions, which in fluid specification contexts refers to standard operating environments as opposed to severe or extreme duty cycles.
  • The Audi 80 1.3 (44 kW) carries the same 6.2-liter cooling system capacity as the higher-output 1.5 and 1.6 variants, indicating the shared cooling circuit architecture across the B1 platform regardless of engine displacement or power output.
  • The 80 1.5 (55 kW) appears in two distinct specification rows: one covering 1972-1976 and another covering 1976-1978 under the 82 body designation. Both rows share the identical 6.2-liter capacity, reflecting continuity of the cooling system across the model revision.
  • The 80 GT (1973-1975) and 80 GTE (1975-1978) are listed as separate variants with their own rows, yet both carry the 6.2-liter cooling system capacity consistent with the rest of the B1 range.
  • The 82 designation appears alongside the 1.5 (55 kW) and 1.6 (63 kW) variants in the 1976-1978 period, representing a body or series revision within the B1 generation. The cooling system capacity of 6.2 liters remains unchanged relative to the earlier 80 variants with equivalent engine outputs.
