Additional Notes

  • The Austin Montego power steering system carries a capacity of 0.5 liter across all listed engine variants, spanning the 1.3, 1.6, 2.0, and 2.0i configurations from 1984-1990.
  • A 0.5 liter figure for a power steering reservoir is characteristic of a service fill capacity, representing the fluid volume held within the reservoir and circuit rather than a full hydraulic pump overhaul quantity.
  • All seven configurations share the same 0.5 liter capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the specified volume applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding duty cycles.
  • The 1.3 and 1.6 engine variants each appear in two distinct year ranges, 1984-1986 and 1986-1990, yet both sub-ranges within each engine size carry an identical 0.5 liter power steering capacity.
  • The 2.0i variant, listed for 1986-1990, represents a fuel-injected version of the 2.0 engine and shares the same 0.5 liter power steering fluid capacity as the carbureted 2.0 of the same period.
  • The consistency of the 0.5 liter figure across different engine displacements suggests the Montego used a common power steering pump and reservoir assembly regardless of which engine was fitted.
