Additional Notes

  • The Ford Fiesta Mk IV (BE91) manual transaxle fluid capacity is 2.8 liters across all listed engine variants, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul capacity, which would typically be higher to account for residual fluid in disassembled components.
  • A transaxle is a combined transmission and axle differential housed in a single unit, which is the configuration used across all five engine variants listed for the Fiesta Mk IV (BE91).
  • The 1.25 16V, 1.3i, 1.4 16V, 1.8 D, and 1.6 16V variants all share an identical 2.8-liter manual transaxle fluid capacity, indicating no variation in gearbox size or fill volume across petrol and diesel engine pairings in the lineup.
  • The check interval for manual transaxle fluid is 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applied under normal use conditions across all listed variants.
  • The 15,000 km or 12-month check interval is a fluid level inspection schedule rather than a drain-and-refill interval, as the specification uses the term "check" rather than "change."
  • The 1.6 16V variant carries a model year range of 1999-2002, making it a later addition to the Fiesta Mk IV lineup compared to the 1.25 16V, 1.3i, 1.4 16V, and 1.8 D, all of which span the full 1996-2002 period.
  • All five variants are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the 15,000 km or 12-month check interval applies to standard driving rather than severe or demanding operating environments.
