Additional Notes
- The Seat Alhambra 7V8, 7V9 differential fluid specifications cover two distinct capacity values across the listed configurations: 0.8 liter and 1 liter, each corresponding to a different differential type and drivetrain arrangement.
- The 0.8-liter capacity appears in the 1.8 T 20V (1997-2000) and 2.0 (1996-2000) configurations, both noted as differentials sourced from an automatic transmission rather than a standalone rear unit.
- The 1-liter capacity is associated with rear differentials in the 4Motion configurations, specifically the 1.9 TDi (85 kW) across two model year spans and the 2.8 VR6, reflecting the larger fluid volume a dedicated rear differential housing typically requires.
- All five configurations share a uniform check interval of 60,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning no configuration calls for a more frequent inspection cycle regardless of engine type or drivetrain layout.
- The 1.9 TDi (85 kW) 4Motion rear differential specification is split across two separate entries covering 2000-2008 and 2008-2010, both listing identical capacity and interval values of 1 liter and 60,000 km respectively.
- The 2.8 VR6 4Motion (2000-2006) shares the same 1-liter rear differential capacity and 60,000 km check interval as the 1.9 TDi 4Motion variants, despite the significant difference in engine displacement and configuration between the two.
- None of the listed configurations carry a separate severe-use interval, meaning the 60,000 km check interval is the only service schedule present across all rows in the specifications.
