Additional Notes

  • The 4.2 V8 quattro (206 kW) carries a coolant system capacity of 8 liters, a figure that reflects the total volume of the sealed cooling circuit including the radiator, engine block passages, heater core, and expansion tank.
  • The Audi V8 3.6 V8 quattro (1989-1991) cooling system specification is expressed as a fill level between the minimum and maximum marks rather than a fixed liter value, meaning the correct fill is determined by the reservoir's graduated markings rather than a measured volume.
  • The 3.6 and 4.2 engine variants differ in how coolant capacity is specified — one by a defined volume and the other by a level range — reflecting a distinction between a precise refill target and a tolerance-based top-up approach.
