Additional Notes

  • The Renault Fuego (EU) coolant system capacities vary across engine variants, ranging from 6 liters in the TL and GTL (47 kW) up to 8.2 liters in the Turbo Diesel (66 kW), reflecting the differing thermal management demands of each powertrain.
  • The TL and GTL (47 kW) cooling system holds 6 liters, which is the smallest capacity among the four listed variants for the 1980-1985 model years.
  • The TS and GTS (71 kW) cooling system capacity is 6.8 liters, sitting between the lower-output TL/GTL and the higher-output TX/GTX variants.
  • The TX and GTX (81 kW) cooling system requires 7.7 liters, consistent with the greater heat rejection associated with a higher-output petrol engine compared to the TL/GTL and TS/GTS variants.
  • The Turbo Diesel (66 kW), available from 1982-1985, carries the largest cooling system capacity at 8.2 liters. Diesel engines, particularly turbocharged ones, typically generate substantial heat that demands a larger coolant volume.
  • The three petrol variants — TL/GTL, TS/GTS, and TX/GTX — all share an identical change interval of 450,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions, indicating a consistent service schedule across the petrol range regardless of output differences.
  • The Turbo Diesel (66 kW) carries a significantly shorter distance-based change interval of 60,000 km compared to the 450,000 km interval of the petrol variants, though both share the same 36-month time-based interval. The 60,000 km figure reflects the more demanding coolant degradation environment typical of turbocharged diesel engines.
