Additional Notes

  • The Audi A3 Cabriolet 8P7 (EU) automatic transmission fluid specifications cover semi-automatic transaxle units across all listed engine variants from 2008-2013.
  • The 1.8 TFSI (118 kW) semi-automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 7.2 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or rebuilt unit, such as after a full overhaul or replacement.
  • For the same 1.8 TFSI (118 kW) transaxle, the service fill capacity drops to 6.2 liters, reflecting the residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and passages during a standard drain-and-fill service.
  • The 1.9 TDI (77 kW) variant lists a dry fill range of 6.9-7.2 liters alongside a service fill of 6.0 liters, making it the only configuration in the lineup to express the dry fill as a range rather than a fixed value.
  • A separate 1.7-liter capacity entry exists for the 1.8 TFSI (118 kW) transaxle, paired with a check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, indicating a distinct fluid circuit or reservoir within the same transmission assembly.
  • The 2.0 TDI (100 kW), 2.0 TDI (103 kW), and 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) variants each share an identical single capacity figure of 6.9 liters with no separate dry fill distinction, suggesting a unified fill procedure for those units.
  • A fluid change interval of 60,000 km under normal use conditions applies uniformly across all engine variants in the 2008-2013 A3 Cabriolet 8P7 (EU) lineup.
  • The 1.9 TDI (77 kW) covers only the 2008-2010 model years within the broader 2008-2013 range, making its transaxle specifications applicable to a narrower production window than the other listed variants.
