Additional Notes

  • The Seat Altea Freetrack 5P8 automatic transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct drivetrain configurations for the 2.0 TFSI engine: a standard transaxle semi-automatic and an AWD transaxle semi-automatic, each carrying different capacity figures.
  • The non-AWD 2.0 TFSI (2009-2010) lists a single capacity value of 7 liters with no distinction between initial and service fill, indicating the specification applies as a general fill volume rather than separating overhaul from routine service quantities.
  • The AWD 2.0 TFSI variants specify an initial fill range of 6.9-7.2 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled transmission from empty.
  • A service fill capacity of 5.2 liters is listed separately for the AWD configurations, reflecting the reduced volume needed during a routine fluid change where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • A third capacity figure of 3-4 liters appears under a Mechatronic Only designation for the AWD variants, referring to a partial service limited to the mechatronic unit, which is the integrated hydraulic and electronic control assembly within the transmission.
  • The AWD specifications for 2009-2010 and 2010-2014 share identical capacity values across all three fill categories, meaning no capacity revision occurred between those two model year groupings despite the overlap at 2010.
  • All three rows share a 60,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, applying uniformly across both the standard and AWD transaxle semi-automatic configurations for the 2009-2014 period.
