Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Caddy Combi SB carries an initial fill capacity of 6.7–6.9 liters across the 1.5 TSI (84 kW), 1.5 TSI (85 kW), and 2.0 TDI (90 kW) configurations, reflecting the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled transaxle from empty.
  • The service fill capacity is rated at 6 liters for all three configurations, a lower figure than the initial fill because a routine fluid change does not fully evacuate the torque converter and internal passages, leaving residual fluid in the system.
  • The gap between the 6.7–6.9 liter initial fill and the 6 liter service fill means roughly 0.7–0.9 liters of fluid remains in the unit during a standard drain-and-fill service, which is a normal characteristic of semi-automatic transaxle designs.
  • All three configurations share a 120,000 km change interval under normal use conditions, applying equally to the petrol-powered 1.5 TSI variants and the diesel-powered 2.0 TDI variant despite their differing engine technologies.
  • The 1.5 TSI (84 kW) variant carries a starting year of 2020, while the 1.5 TSI (85 kW) variant carries a starting year of 2025, and both share identical automatic transmission fluid capacities and service intervals despite the difference in rated output.
  • All three configurations are noted as transaxle, semi-automatic units, meaning the transmission and drive axle are housed in a combined assembly, which is relevant to understanding why the initial fill volume approaches 6.9 liters at the upper range.
