Additional Notes
- The Ford Fiesta Mk IV (EU) coolant system capacities vary noticeably across engine variants, ranging from 5 liters in the 1.6 16V up to 9.3 liters in the 1.8 D.
- The 1.25 16V and 1.4 16V share an identical cooling system capacity of 6 liters, despite being distinct engine configurations.
- The 1.3i carries a cooling system capacity of 7.1 liters, which is higher than both the 1.25 16V and 1.4 16V despite being a smaller-displacement carbureted or single-point injection unit, reflecting differences in engine block and cooling jacket design.
- The 1.6 16V, available from 1999-2002, holds the smallest cooling system capacity at 5 liters among all listed variants.
- The 1.8 D diesel variant holds 9.3 liters of coolant, the largest capacity across all listed engines, which is consistent with diesel engines generally requiring more substantial cooling due to higher thermal loads.
- All petrol engine variants — the 1.25 16V, 1.3i, 1.4 16V, and 1.6 16V — share a 72-month coolant change interval under normal use conditions.
- The 1.8 D diesel is specified at a 48-month coolant change interval under normal use conditions, 24 months shorter than the interval applied to all petrol variants in the same generation.
