Additional Notes

  • The Skoda 440 Spartak with engine code 970, produced from 1955-1959, carries a cooling system capacity of 6 liters under normal use conditions.
  • The 445 with engine code 985 and the 450 with engine code 984, both introduced in 1957, share the same 6-liter cooling system capacity as the 440 Spartak, despite being distinct model variants.
  • A 6-liter coolant capacity is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the small-displacement engines typical of European economy cars from the mid-to-late 1950s.
  • All three variants, the 440 Spartak, 445, and 450, specify capacity under normal use conditions, meaning the 6-liter figure applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or extreme service scenarios.
  • The 445 and 450 share an overlapping production window of 1957-1959 with the later years of the 440 Spartak, and all three carry identical cooling system capacities across that period.
