Additional Notes
- The Mercedes-Benz Vaneo W414 (EU) power steering system holds 0.8 liter across every listed configuration, covering both petrol and diesel variants from 2001-2006.
- A capacity figure of 0.8 liter is characteristic of a compact hydraulic power steering reservoir fill, reflecting the relatively modest fluid volume required to maintain pressure in a light van steering circuit.
- The 0.8 liter capacity applies uniformly to the 1.6-liter petrol engine in its 60 kW and 75 kW output variants, indicating no difference in steering system volume between the two power levels despite their distinct engine tuning.
- The 1.9-liter petrol variant shares the same 0.8 liter power steering capacity as the lower-displacement 1.6-liter engines, pointing to a common steering hardware specification across the petrol range.
- Both diesel CDI variants, rated at 55 kW and 66 kW respectively, also carry the 0.8 liter capacity, meaning the steering system specification is consistent regardless of whether the drivetrain is petrol or diesel.
- All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, which in the context of power steering fluid refers to standard operating environments without the elevated thermal or load cycling associated with severe-duty classifications.
