universal m3-20B coolant capacity

Today i drained the coolant from my m3-20b universal diesel. The universal manual has the coolant capacity as 3.5litres but i could only get approx. 2.25 litres in before overflow. This despite bleeding with the bleed screw on the thermostat housing.
i have found the universal manual to be less than accurate on other capacities (especially oil capacity).
has anyone else found the coolant capacity to be considerably less than the manual lists on this engine or could there be another issue that i'm missing?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
