Additional Notes

  • Across all five configurations of the Volkswagen Caddy Kombi 2K, the automatic transmission is noted as a transaxle, semi-automatic unit, meaning the gearbox and drive axle share a common housing and the transmission operates with automated clutch control rather than a fully conventional torque converter.
  • The 1.9 TDI (77 kW) variants from 2004-2010 list an initial fill capacity of 7.2 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty or overhauled transmission from dry.
  • The 2.0 TDI (103 kW) from 2007-2010 labels the larger capacity value as a dry fill rather than an initial fill, though the figure remains 7.2 liters, indicating the same total system volume when the unit is fully drained and reassembled.
  • A service fill of 5.2 liters applies uniformly across all five configurations, reflecting the volume needed during a routine fluid change where residual fluid remains in the torque converter or valve body passages.
  • The 2.0 liter difference between the dry or initial fill and the service fill across all configurations suggests approximately 2.0 liters of fluid is retained within the transmission assembly during a standard drain procedure.
  • All five configurations share an identical service interval of 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, whichever threshold is reached first.
  • The DPF-equipped 1.9 TDI variants, covering 2006-2010 in standard form and 2009-2010 in 4Motion form, carry the same transmission fluid capacity and interval specifications as their non-DPF counterparts, indicating the diesel particulate filter specification does not alter the transmission service requirements.
  • The 4Motion variants from 2009-2010, both with and without DPF, share the same 7.2-liter initial fill, 5.2-liter service fill, and 60,000 km or 48-month interval as the two-wheel-drive 1.9 TDI configurations, pointing to a common semi-automatic transaxle specification regardless of drivetrain layout.
