Additional Notes

  • The Foden Alpha 2000 cooling system capacity is 26 liters across the Alpha A2-4R(.T) 185, 220, and 250 Euro 3 engine variants, a volume consistent with heavy-duty commercial vehicle cooling circuits that must manage heat across large displacement engines and extended operational cycles.
  • All three Paccar engine designations covered in the 2001-2006 range, CE 136.185, CE 162.220, and CE 184.250, share an identical 26-liter coolant capacity, indicating a uniform cooling system architecture despite differences in power output between the 185, 220, and 250 horsepower configurations.
  • The coolant change interval for all listed variants is set at 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the replacement schedule is time-based rather than mileage-based, which is a common approach for commercial vehicles operating across widely varying annual distances.
  • The 24-month interval applies specifically to normal use conditions, tying the replacement schedule to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as sustained high-load haulage or extreme temperature exposure.
