Additional Notes

  • The MG Metro cooling system capacity is 4.8 liters across all listed configurations, which is a typical service fill volume for a small-displacement engine of this era.
  • The 4.8-liter figure applies equally to both the Metro 1300 and the Metro 1.3 Turbo, indicating no difference in cooling system volume between the naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants.
  • The coolant change interval is set at 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the time-based limit of four years can trigger a change independently of mileage accumulation.
  • The 1983-1986 and 1986-1989 production periods for both the Metro 1300 and the Metro 1.3 Turbo share identical capacity and interval specifications, showing no revision to coolant service requirements across the generational split.
