Additional Notes

  • The Audi A5 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI quattro (155 kW) with engine code CAEB carries a transfer case capacity of 0.5 liter for the 2009-2010 model years, sourced from the automatic transmission.
  • A capacity of 0.5 liter is a relatively small fill volume, consistent with a compact transfer case unit integrated closely with an automatic gearbox rather than a standalone assembly requiring a larger fluid reservoir.
  • The same 155 kW CAEB engine configuration, when extended to include the CPMA engine code for 2010-2017, doubles the specified transfer case capacity to 1 liter, indicating a different or revised transfer case unit despite sharing the same power output designation.
  • The 1-liter capacity figure appears across the 2.0 TFSI quattro (162 kW) variant for 2012-2017 and the 3.2 FSI quattro for 2009-2012, both drawing transfer case fluid from the automatic transmission.
  • All four configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the stated capacities apply under standard operating circumstances rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
  • The overlap year of 2010 is shared between the 0.5-liter CAEB specification and the 1-liter CAEB/CPMA specification, reflecting a mid-cycle revision within the same calendar year that altered the transfer case fluid requirement.
