Few quick questions regarding Copen 0.66 fluid change.... 1. What Power Steering Fluid does the Copen use? Also how much does it hold? 2. What Brake fluid is recommended and how much does the Copen hold? 3. What coolant is recommended and how much does it hold? Anyone managed to carry out a full fluid change on theirs recently? Thanks in advance
It uses pretty standard stuff which is all specified at the back of the handbook. From memory the handbook also gives the capacities as well. I had mine changed about 18 months ago and it was very easy. Just dropped it off and picked it up a couple of hours later.
Power Steering Fluid: Dexron III (I used Aral ATF 55, but I guess its not available outside of germany) Brake Fluid: DOT4 (Standard stuff) Coolant: Glysantin G30, also known as G12+ or C12+ coolant
Thanks both, had a quick look in the book but I was struggling to find info on the amounts so I knew how much to buy as taking it to a garage but buying all the parts before hand and didn’t want to not buy enough of each and delay the service, cheers
The coolant quantity is detailed in the handbook but not the brake or steering fluid. Have a look in the resources section for the service manuals (I can’t open the zip file on my iPad) but a bottle of each should suffice. Either that or buy two and take one back.
What Rob said, 1 litre of brake fluid, one litre of ATF and about 1.5 litres of Glysantin G30 (they come in 1.5 litre bottles) But to be honest, I would not bring brake fluid to the garage. They have a big brake bleeding station that is connected to a 20 litre barrel of brake fluid, they have no use for your separate 1 litre bottle. Bringing oil and coolant is OK in my opinion.
What @Salieri said. Plus a garage has the facilities to properly dispose of the old hydraulic fluids.
