Additional Notes

  • The Wartburg 311 (1962-1965) carries a coolant capacity of 8 liters for the cooling system under normal use conditions.
  • The 311 Sport-Coupé and 311 Standard, both covering the 1956-1961 period, share an identical coolant capacity of 10.7 liters under normal use conditions.
  • Between the 1956-1961 and 1962-1965 variants, the cooling system capacity drops from 10.7 liters to 8 liters, a reduction of 2.7 liters.
  • The 10.7-liter figure recorded for the 1956-1961 Sport-Coupé and Standard variants is notably higher than the 8-liter figure of the later 311, which can reflect differences in engine displacement, cooling jacket volume, or radiator sizing between generations.
