Additional Notes
- All four Ford Fiesta Van (EU) configurations listed across the 2009-2017 period share an identical cooling system capacity of 5.5 liters. A figure in this range is typical for a small commercial vehicle cooling system and reflects the total volume of coolant held across the radiator, engine block passages, heater core, and expansion reservoir combined.
- The 5.5-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume expected when refilling a drained but otherwise intact cooling system. Overhaul or full flush procedures on the same engine can sometimes yield slightly different volumes depending on residual fluid retention in the block.
- The check interval across all listed configurations is set at 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means that vehicles covering low annual mileage still require a coolant inspection on a calendar basis once per year.
- The coolant change interval is specified at 120 months, equivalent to 10 years, for all configurations under normal use conditions. A 10-year change interval is associated with modern long-life coolant formulations, typically organic acid technology (OAT) or similar extended-life types, which resist additive depletion over longer periods than conventional coolants.
- The 1.25-liter petrol engine appears in two separate year bands, 2009-2011 and 2012-2017, yet both carry the same 5.5-liter capacity and identical check and change intervals. The split into two entries reflects a model revision boundary rather than any change in cooling system specification.
- The 1.5 TDCi Duratorq Euro 5 variant, introduced from 2012, shares the same 5.5-liter cooling system capacity as the petrol 1.25 configurations despite being a diesel engine with different thermal characteristics. Diesel engines generally run cooler combustion cycles but still require comparably sized cooling systems due to heat rejection from turbocharger and exhaust gas recirculation components common in Euro 5 diesel designs.
- The 1.5 TDCi Duratorq Euro 6 variant, available from 2015, retains the 5.5-liter capacity and the same check and change intervals as the earlier Euro 5 diesel. Euro 6 emissions standards introduced stricter nitrogen oxide limits, often requiring additional aftertreatment hardware, yet the cooling system volume remained unchanged across the transition.
