Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Ritmo / Strada Abarth 125 TC and Abarth 130 TC both share a cooling system capacity of 7.5 liters, which is a total system fill volume covering the radiator, engine block passages, and reservoir.
  • A 500 km check interval is specified for both the Abarth 125 TC and Abarth 130 TC, indicating a very early inspection point after a service fill to confirm coolant level stability.
  • The coolant change interval for both the Abarth 125 TC and Abarth 130 TC is set at 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first triggers the change.
  • The 24-month time limit on the coolant change interval reflects the degradation rate of corrosion inhibitors in coolant formulations, which lose effectiveness over time regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • Both the Abarth 125 TC and Abarth 130 TC carry identical cooling system specifications across the full 1983-1987 model year span, with no variation in capacity or interval between the two engine variants.
