stevefoster Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Never measured it as such but I reckon it's a bit less than 7 lts in a 7 even with the heater. Neither build manual or owners manual state it (or at least as I could find with a quick skim). /Steve My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

ChrisC Posted October 13, 2002 Author Share Posted October 13, 2002 I have a copy of the build manual, which states filling to level blah blah, with not less than 33% anti freeze solution - But what is the capacity so I can gauge the 33%. Anyway it looks like it’s 6 liter, carefully measured, from empty. Just in case anyone else is sad enough to ask in the future. 😬 Chris... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Vauxhall engine Cov Rad "Ace" S6579 radiator: 8 litres from absolutely empty (no heater) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Normaly I put in 2 litres of anti-freeze and top it up with destilled water until full. All in all should be a healthy 6 litres if I remember correctly. Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
