Additional Notes
- Across all five MG ZT configurations listed, the power steering fluid reservoir capacity is 0.35 liter, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than an overhaul volume, as it reflects the amount held in the reservoir and accessible lines rather than a full system displacement.
- The MG ZT 1.8T 160 carries a normal-use power steering fluid check interval of 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, placing it on the same schedule as the V6 petrol variants rather than the diesel models.
- Both CDTi diesel variants, the 120 and 135, share a check interval of 50,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, which is twice the distance and time interval specified for the petrol-engined models in the same lineup.
- The 160 V6-24V and 190 V6-24V, covering model years 2001-2005, both follow the 25,000 km or 12-month check interval, aligning with the turbocharged 1.8T petrol rather than the diesel configurations despite differing engine architectures.
- The split in check intervals between petrol and diesel variants, 25,000 km annually versus 50,000 km biennially, means the power steering system on petrol models is inspected at twice the frequency of the CDTi models over equivalent mileage accumulation.
- The CDTi diesel variants entered the specification range from 2003, while the V6-24V models are listed from 2001, giving the V6 configurations a longer presence within the 2001-2005 span covered by these specifications.
