Additional Notes
- Both the RS 2000i 4x4 and the RS Cosworth 4x4 share a 1-liter differential fluid capacity across all listed differential positions, which is a relatively modest fill volume consistent with compact independent or limited-slip differential housings rather than larger axle assemblies.
- The Ford Escort RS 2000i 4x4 rear differential carries a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, making it the most frequent service point among the three listed configurations.
- The RS Cosworth 4x4 front and rear differentials both share a 20,000 km or 24-month check interval under normal use conditions, which is notably longer than the interval specified for the RS 2000i 4x4 rear differential.
- The RS Cosworth 4x4 is the only variant in the listed specifications with a front differential entry, reflecting the more complex all-wheel-drive architecture of the Cosworth model compared to the RS 2000i 4x4.
- The identical 1-liter capacity for both the front and rear differentials on the RS Cosworth 4x4 suggests symmetrical differential housing sizes across the front and rear axles of that drivetrain.
- The 24-month time-based check interval on the RS Cosworth 4x4 differentials means a calendar year cycle alone would not trigger a service event; two full years must pass before the time condition is met under normal use.
