Additional Notes

  • The Cupra Ateca 2.0 TFSI Cupra 4Drive (221 kW) PF carries an initial fill capacity of 6.9 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled transmission from empty.
  • A service fill capacity of 6 liters applies to the 2.0 TFSI Cupra 4Drive (221 kW) PF across both the 2018-2020 and 2020 onward variants, reflecting the reduced volume needed during a routine fluid change when residual fluid remains in the unit.
  • The 2.0 TSI 4Drive PF lists a 6.9-liter figure specifically labeled as a dry fill, which is functionally equivalent to an initial fill and confirms the total system capacity when no fluid is present.
  • A 120,000 km change interval under normal use conditions is specified for both the 2.0 TFSI Cupra 4Drive (221 kW) PF and the 2.0 TSI 4Drive PF, indicating the fluid is treated as a long-life fill rather than a frequent service item.
  • The 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF variant lists only a single capacity figure of 1.7 liters with no separate initial fill or service fill distinction, and no change interval is specified in the row data.
  • The 0.9-liter difference between the 6.9-liter dry or initial fill and the 6-liter service fill on the 2.0-liter variants indicates that a portion of the fluid is retained in the torque converter or valve body during a standard drain procedure.
  • All four configurations are noted as transaxle, semi-automatic units, meaning the transmission and drive axle share a common housing, which is relevant to understanding why fluid capacities are measured as a combined volume.
  • The 2018-2020 and 2020 onward entries for the 2.0 TFSI Cupra 4Drive (221 kW) PF carry identical capacity and interval specifications, with no variation in fluid volume or service schedule between the two model year groupings.
