Additional Notes
- The Volvo 300 (EU) cooling system service interval is 40,000 km or 48 months across all listed engine variants, applied under normal use conditions.
- The 340 1.4 produced through 1985 carried a cooling system capacity of 5.5 liters, while units from 1986 onward required 6.5 liters, reflecting a mid-production capacity revision for that engine.
- The 340 1.7 holds a 6.5-liter cooling system capacity with no pre-1986 variant listed, placing it in line with the later-specification 340 1.4 figure.
- The 340 Diesel shows a similar generational split: a 6.5-liter capacity through 1985 and a larger 7-liter capacity from 1986 onward, the highest cooling system volume among the 340 variants.
- The 360 2.0 shares the 7-liter cooling system capacity with the post-1985 340 Diesel, making both the largest-capacity entries in the Volvo 300 (EU) coolant specifications.
- The capacity difference between the pre- and post-1985 340 Diesel amounts to 0.5 liters, the same margin seen in the 340 1.4 across the same production boundary.
