Re: 4th Gen. Coolant Capacity?

Hi there,
According to my hand-book,cars with manual transmission hold 14.5L of coolant and autos hold 14.3L of coolant.This capacity is for the entire system,ie the block,radiator,reservoir,hoses etc.
Hope this helps,Mark.

For non-metric units, divide the numbers above by 3.78, or look in the Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, Shoebox has a link to an online copy.

personally, I'd replace the rad

I don't even know what "tank" you are talking about. The coolant resevoir? If that's the case, I would just buy a new one. Otherwise, define "tank," and possibly start a new thread.

I think you'll end up replacing the radiator.

Once that information is given, I don't see a problem with asking a very closely related COOLANT question.

That's not very closely related AT ALL. There are hundreds of problems that could deal with cooling systems. A very closely related question would be something like "does anybody happen to have those numbers in gallons?" -even though I believe the conversion was already given.
