Audi A3 Cabriolet, 8P7 (EU)

Additional Notes

• Across all Audi A3 Cabriolet 8P7 engine variants covered, coolant capacity is expressed as a level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the specification defines an acceptable zone between a minimum and maximum mark rather than a precise fill quantity.
• The "between min and max" notation is typical of reservoir-based coolant checks, where the expansion tank carries graduated markings and the acceptable operating level falls anywhere within that band under normal temperature conditions.
• Every engine variant listed, spanning petrol and diesel configurations from 1.2 to 2.0 litres, shares an identical coolant check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
• The 24-month time limit means the interval is time-gated as well as distance-gated, so a vehicle covering low annual mileage still reaches a service point at the two-year mark regardless of odometer reading.
• The petrol range in the A3 Cabriolet 8P7 spans four distinct engine outputs: the 1.2 TFSI, 1.4 TFSI, 1.8 TFSI at 118 kW, and the 2.0 TFSI at 147 kW, all sharing the same coolant check schedule.
• The diesel lineup covers four variants: the 1.6 TDI at 77 kW, the 1.9 TDI at 77 kW, and two 2.0 TDI outputs at 100 kW and 103 kW, with the 103 kW and 100 kW variants distinguished by power output despite sharing the same displacement.
• The 1.6 naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 1.9 TDI are each listed only for 2008-2010, a narrower window than the other variants, which extend through 2013.
• The 1.2 TFSI and 1.4 TFSI entries begin from 2010, reflecting a later introduction within the 8P7 generation compared to the engines available from the 2008 model year.
