Additional Notes
- Both the 1984-1989 and 1989-1994 Cabriolet 1.8 configurations share an identical power steering fluid capacity of 0.77 liter, indicating no change in reservoir or system sizing across the full 1984-1994 production span.
- A capacity of 0.77 liter is a relatively modest figure, consistent with the compact power steering reservoirs found in small-displacement European vehicles of the era, where the system volume is limited to the reservoir and connecting lines rather than a larger integrated pump housing.
- Both configurations list normal as the use condition tied to the 0.77 liter capacity, meaning the specification applies to standard operating environments rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
- The Volkswagen Cabriolet 1.8 power steering specifications carry no separate overhaul or dry-fill capacity distinct from the 0.77 liter service figure, suggesting the listed value represents the total serviceable fluid volume for a standard top-up or fluid exchange.
