Additional Notes
- The Opel Combo B power steering system carries a 1-liter fluid capacity across all listed engine variants, a figure typical of compact rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball steering systems found in light commercial and passenger vehicles of the era.
- A 1-liter capacity in a power steering system generally reflects the combined volume of the reservoir, pump housing, and steering gear lines rather than the reservoir alone, meaning a full fluid exchange requires the entire circuit to be drained and refilled to reach that figure.
- All six configurations carry a normal use condition designation, which in fluid service contexts refers to standard operating environments without the elevated thermal cycling, heavy loads, or frequent short-trip operation that would otherwise qualify as severe duty.
- The 1.2i and 1.4i variants share the same 1993-1996 production window and the same 1-liter power steering capacity, indicating no differentiation in steering system specification between the two engine displacements during that period.
- The 1.4 (non-i) variant covers the 1996-2001 period, while the 1.4i 16V spans 1994-2000, meaning both higher-specification four-cylinder petrol variants were in production simultaneously for a portion of the late 1990s, yet both retain the same 1-liter steering fluid capacity.
- The 1.7 D diesel appears in two separate row entries covering 1993-1996 and 1996-2001 respectively, with both sharing the identical 1-liter capacity, suggesting no steering hardware revision accompanied the mid-cycle production changeover on the diesel variant.
