Additional Notes
- The Audi Cabriolet B3 (USA) power steering system holds 0.85 liter across both the 1994-1996 and 1996-2000 configurations of the 2.8 V6 (128 kW), indicating a consistent reservoir and system volume between the two production periods.
- A 0.85 liter capacity is a relatively modest figure, typical of a rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball power steering system where the reservoir and lines together hold a small working volume of fluid.
- The 1996-2000 2.8 V6 (128 kW) configuration carries a fluid check interval of 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, meaning the interval is governed by both distance and elapsed time.
- The 1994-1996 2.8 V6 (128 kW) configuration lists only a capacity figure under normal use, with no check interval recorded in the specifications for that period.
- The 12-month time component of the 1996-2000 check interval reflects that power steering fluid can degrade through moisture absorption and oxidation even when mileage accumulation is low, making calendar time a relevant trigger independent of driving distance.
