Additional Notes
- The Fiat 132 (EU) hydraulic brake system holds 0.4 liters of brake fluid across all listed engine variants, spanning the 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 configurations produced between 1972 and 1981.
- A 0.4-liter capacity is characteristic of a passenger car hydraulic brake circuit at service fill level, reflecting the combined volume of the master cylinder reservoir and the lines connecting to the wheel cylinders or calipers.
- All six configurations share an identical check interval of 500 km under normal use conditions, placing brake fluid inspection among the most frequent service tasks specified for the 132 lineup.
- A 500 km check interval for brake fluid is notably short by general automotive standards and reflects the inspection practices common to European vehicles of the 1970s, where fluid level monitoring was treated as a routine pre-service check rather than a long-interval replacement task.
- The 132 1.6 engine family spans three consecutive production periods — 1972-1974, 1974-1977, and 1977-1981 — all carrying the same 0.4-liter capacity and 500 km check interval, indicating no revision to the brake system specification across the full production run of that variant.
- The 132 2.0 (132A2), introduced in the 1977-1981 period as the largest displacement variant in the lineup, shares the same 0.4-liter brake fluid capacity as the smaller-displacement 1.6 and 1.8 variants, suggesting a common brake hydraulic architecture across the model range.
