Additional Notes

  • All transfer case fluid capacities across the Seat Alhambra 4Drive lineup fall within a narrow range of 0.75 to 0.9 liters, which is typical for a bevel gear transferbox — a compact unit that distributes torque between front and rear axles without requiring large fluid volumes.
  • The 2.0 TDI (103 kW) 4Drive variant covering 2010-2015 carries a fixed capacity of 0.9 liters, meaning no fill range is specified — the transferbox in that application accepts a single defined volume rather than a tolerance band.
  • The 2.0 TDI (135 kW) 4Drive for 2015-2020 also lists a fixed 0.9-liter capacity, aligning with the earlier 103 kW unit despite the higher power output and different model year span.
  • The 110 kW and 130 kW 4Drive variants, spanning 2015-2020 and 2020-2021 respectively, share a capacity range of 0.75-0.9 liters. A range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and a full overhaul or dry fill scenario.
  • All six configurations list normal as the use condition, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing or off-road use.
  • The 110 kW and 130 kW variants each appear across two consecutive year bands — 2015-2020 and 2020-2021 — with identical capacity specifications in both periods, indicating no change to the transferbox fluid requirement across those production years.
  • The bevel gear transferbox noted across all rows is a passive torque-splitting device, distinct from an active electronically controlled transfer case. Fluid capacity in such units is generally lower than in active systems, consistent with the sub-1-liter figures listed here.
