Additional Notes

All configurations listed across the Audi TT and TTS Roadster 8J share a uniform initial fill capacity of 6.9 liters for the semi-automatic transaxle. An initial fill figure reflects the total fluid volume required when the unit is dry, such as after a complete overhaul or replacement, rather than a routine drain-and-refill procedure.
The refill capacity across every listed configuration is 5.5 liters, which is 1.4 liters less than the initial fill. The difference between the two values accounts for residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and internal passages during a standard service drain, making the refill figure the relevant one for routine fluid changes.
The "first change only" use condition carries an earlier check interval of 15,000 miles compared to 20,000 miles under normal use, and an earlier change interval of 35,000 miles compared to 40,000 miles. The shortened intervals on the first change reflect the break-in period of a new or rebuilt transmission, during which fluid contamination from initial wear particles is higher.
For the 2.0 TFSI quattro (147 kW) TT Roadster covering 2007-2009 and the 3.2 quattro (184 kW) covering 2006-2009, the time-based check interval is set at 12 months under both normal and first-change-only conditions. The same 12-month time interval applies to the TTS Roadster 2.0 TFSI quattro (195 kW) for 2008-2010.
Starting with the 2.0 TFSI quattro (155 kW) TT Roadster from 2010 onward, and the TTS Roadster 2.0 TFSI quattro (195 kW) from 2010 onward, the time-based check interval extends from 12 months to 24 months. The mileage-based check and change intervals remain unchanged at 20,000 miles and 40,000 miles respectively under normal use.
The 24-month time interval introduced from 2010 onward also applies under the first-change-only condition, where the check interval becomes 15,000 miles or 24 months, and the change interval remains at 35,000 miles. Earlier model years with the same first-change-only condition used a 12-month time limit instead.
The 155 kW output variant of the 2.0 TFSI quattro TT Roadster spans two consecutive production ranges, 2010-2013 and 2013-2015, both sharing identical capacity and interval specifications. The fluid capacities and service schedules show no change between the two ranges for either the normal or first-change-only conditions.
The TTS Roadster 2.0 TFSI quattro at 195 kW similarly spans three production ranges across 2008-2013 and 2013-2015, with the only specification change occurring at the 2010 boundary where the time-based check interval shifts from 12 to 24 months. Fluid capacities remain at 6.9 liters initial fill and 5.5 liters refill throughout all three ranges.
