Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen (VW) Golf I Cabriolet 155 carries a cooling system capacity of 6.3 liters across all listed engine variants, spanning the 1.6, 1.8, 1.8i (70 kW), 1.8i (72 kW), and 1.8i (82 kW) configurations.
  • A 6.3-liter cooling system capacity is consistent with a full-system service fill, meaning the figure accounts for the total volume of coolant held within the radiator, engine block, hoses, and reservoir combined.
  • All five configurations carry the normal use condition alongside the 6.3-liter capacity, meaning the specification applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or extended-duty cycles.
  • The 1.8i (70 kW) variant covers the 1987-1990 period, while the 1.8i (72 kW) variant covers 1990-1993, representing a sequential output change within the fuel-injected 1.8-liter lineup, yet both share the identical 6.3-liter cooling system capacity.
  • The 1.8i (82 kW) variant, spanning 1987-1992, represents the highest output configuration in the listed range and still shares the same 6.3-liter cooling system capacity as the lower-output 1.8i variants, indicating no capacity differentiation based on power output within the 1.8-liter family.
  • The carbureted 1.6 and 1.8 variants, both covering 1987-1992, align with the fuel-injected variants on the 6.3-liter figure, showing no capacity distinction between induction types across the lineup.
