Technical characteristics of the cooling system

A closed-type cooling system operating under pressure and consisting of a pump, a thermostat, a radiator, an expansion tank and an electric fan controlled by a temperature sensor. On cars with an engine displacement of 1.1 dm³ - a semi-hermetic system with an overflow tank.

Cooling capacity
1.1 dm OHV engine3	5.3 dm3
1.1 dm CVH engine3	6.2 in.3 with a small heatsink or 7.2 in.3 with a large heatsink
Engines with a displacement of 1.3 dm3	7.1 dm3
1.4 dm CVH engine3	7.6 in.3
