Additional Notes
- The Volkswagen Cabriolet (USA / CAN) 1.8 carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 1.9 liters across both the 1984-1989 and 1989-1994 model year spans, meaning the same fill volume applies throughout the entire 1984-1994 production range covered by these specifications.
- A capacity figure of 1.9 liters is consistent with a compact transaxle design, where the gearbox and final drive share a common fluid sump rather than separate reservoirs, which is a typical arrangement in front-wheel-drive vehicles of this era.
- Both configurations are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 1.9-liter capacity figure is associated with standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
