Additional Notes
- The Bedford Midi Van cooling system capacity varies by drivetrain and engine configuration across the 1989-1990 model range, with values spanning from 9 liters to 10 liters depending on the variant.
- The 2.0-liter petrol engine in 4x2 form carries a base cooling system capacity of 9 liters, which rises to 11 liters when a rear heater is fitted. The additional 2 liters accounts for the extra coolant volume held within the rear heater circuit and its connecting hoses.
- The 4x4 version of the 2.0-liter petrol engine shares the same 9-liter base capacity as the 4x2 variant but has no listed rear heater capacity option.
- Both diesel configurations, the 2.0 Turbo D in 4x2 form and the 2.2 D in both 4x2 and 4x4 forms, share a 10-liter cooling system capacity. The higher figure compared to the naturally aspirated 2.0 petrol reflects the greater thermal load associated with diesel and turbocharged diesel engines, which typically require more coolant volume to manage heat effectively.
- All five configurations across the 1989-1990 range carry a uniform coolant change interval of 24 months under normal use conditions. A 24-month interval is standard for conventional ethylene glycol-based coolants, which degrade in corrosion inhibitor effectiveness over time regardless of mileage.
- The 24-month change interval applies specifically to normal use conditions across all listed variants. No separate severe-use interval is specified for any of the five configurations.
