Additional Notes
- The Vauxhall Astra / Belmont T85 power steering system carries a uniform 1-liter fluid capacity across all five listed configurations, spanning the 1.3, 1.3S, 1.3i, 2.0i (95 kW), and 2.0i GSi variants.
- A 1-liter capacity in a power steering system is characteristic of a relatively compact hydraulic reservoir, typical of the rack-and-pinion assisted setups found in small-to-mid-size European vehicles of the 1980s and early 1990s.
- All five configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the 1-liter capacity figure applies under standard operating circumstances rather than severe or first-change-only scenarios.
- The 1.3 and 1.3i variants share the same 1-liter capacity despite representing different fuel delivery generations, with the 1.3 covering 1984-1991 and the 1.3i covering 1985-1991.
- The 1.3S variant, running from 1987-1993, has the longest production span among the three 1.3-engined configurations listed, yet retains the same 1-liter power steering fluid capacity as the earlier 1.3 and 1.3i.
- The 2.0i GSi, spanning 1986-1993, shares an identical 1-liter power steering fluid capacity with the 2.0i (95 kW) variant despite the GSi representing a higher-performance trim level within the T85 range.
