Additional Notes

  • All Vauxhall Combo B manual transmission configurations listed across the 1993-2001 model range share an identical transaxle fluid capacity of 1.6 liters. A transaxle combines the transmission and drive axle into a single housing, and the 1.6-liter figure represents the service fill volume for that integrated unit.
  • The 1.6-liter capacity applies uniformly across petrol and diesel variants, covering the 1.2i, 1.4, 1.4i, 1.4i 16V, and 1.7 D engine configurations without variation.
  • The 1.4i 16V variant, available from 1994-2001, carries the same 1.6-liter transaxle capacity as the single-cam petrol variants despite the higher-specification 16-valve cylinder head, indicating the transaxle unit itself is shared across the petrol range.
  • The 1.7 D diesel engine appeared in two distinct production periods: 1993-1996 and 1996-2001. Both periods specify the same 1.6-liter transaxle capacity and identical service intervals, pointing to continuity in the transmission unit across those production phases.
  • The service interval for all listed configurations is defined under normal use conditions as 24 months or 30,000 km, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format means the time limit of 24 months applies even when the distance threshold has not been reached.
  • The interval specification uses the term "check" rather than a full fluid replacement directive. A check interval typically involves inspecting fluid level and condition rather than a mandatory drain-and-refill, which is a less intensive service action than a full fluid change.
  • The 1.2i and 1.4i petrol variants both cover the 1993-1996 period and share the same 1.6-liter capacity and 24-month/30,000 km check interval, reflecting a common transaxle platform across the early Combo B petrol lineup.
