Additional Notes
- The Opel Sintra, APV cooling system capacity is 5.9 liters across all three engine variants covered in the specifications: the 2.2, the 2.2 DTi, and the 3.0.
- A 5.9-liter cooling system capacity is relatively substantial for a passenger vehicle, reflecting the thermal demands of a larger multi-purpose van body style.
- The 2.2 petrol and the 3.0 share an identical 5.9-liter cooling system capacity despite the difference in engine displacement, indicating the cooling circuit volume is determined by the vehicle platform rather than engine size alone.
- The 2.2 DTi diesel variant, available from 1997-1999, carries the same 5.9-liter cooling system capacity as the petrol engines, meaning no additional coolant volume was allocated for the diesel's different thermal characteristics.
- All three configurations list the capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the 5.9-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or special-case service scenarios.
- The 2.2 petrol and 3.0 petrol variants share the same 1996-1999 production span, while the 2.2 DTi entered one year later in 1997, giving the diesel a shorter covered period of 1997-1999.
