Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Brava 182 power steering system holds 0.9 liter across all six engine configurations covered in the specifications, spanning the 1.4 12V, 1.6 16V, 1.8 16V, 1.9 D, TD 75, and TD 100 variants.
  • A 0.9 liter capacity is characteristic of a rack-and-pinion power steering reservoir fill, representing the fluid volume held within the reservoir and associated lines rather than a full hydraulic pump overhaul quantity.
  • The check interval is set at 500 km across all listed configurations. In power steering service contexts, a 500 km check interval is a short-cycle inspection point, typically used to monitor fluid level and condition during early ownership or following a fluid service.
  • All six configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 500 km check interval and 0.9 liter capacity apply under standard operating conditions rather than severe or extended-duty cycles.
  • The 1.6 16V, 1.8 16V, and TD 75 variants share a production window running from 1995 to 2003, while the 1.4 12V, 1.9 D, and TD 100 variants have a narrower range of 1995-1999, yet all carry identical power steering fluid specifications throughout their respective periods.
  • The uniformity of the 0.9 liter capacity across both petrol and diesel engine families, including the turbodiesel TD 75 and TD 100, indicates the Brava 182 platform used a common power steering hydraulic circuit regardless of engine type.
