Additional Notes
- Both the Fox 1.8 (66 kW) and the Fox 1.8 GL (76 kW) share an identical cooling system capacity of 6.2 liters across the 1990-1993 model years.
- A 6.2-liter cooling system capacity is a moderate figure for a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, reflecting the total volume of coolant the system holds when filled, including the engine block, cylinder head passages, radiator, and reservoir.
- The capacity listed for both configurations applies under normal use conditions, meaning the 6.2-liter figure represents standard operating fills rather than a separate overhaul or first-fill specification.
- The Volkswagen Fox 1.8 GL (76 kW) produces approximately 10 kW more than the base 1.8 (66 kW) variant, yet the cooling system capacity remains unchanged between the two, indicating the same fundamental cooling circuit design across both power outputs.
