Additional Notes

  • The Fiat Strada 178 (EU) power steering system holds 0.7 liter across both the 1.2 8V and 1.3 16V JTD engine variants, a relatively modest reservoir volume consistent with compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating-ball hydraulic assist setups found in vehicles of this class.
  • The 1.2 8V variant, covering model years 1997-2007, carries a 1,000 km check interval under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected at that mileage point rather than at a conventional extended drain interval.
  • The 1.3 16V JTD, spanning 2007-2011, shares the same 0.7 liter capacity as the 1.2 8V but has no check interval listed in its specifications, distinguishing the two configurations in terms of documented service interval data.
