Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Caravelle / Kombi T7 2.0 TDI automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 11.5-12.5 liters across all three listed configurations starting from 2024.
  • A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as during a full overhaul or replacement, rather than a routine service top-up or partial drain-and-fill procedure.
  • The 0.5-liter spread in the 11.5-12.5 liter dry fill range reflects normal manufacturing tolerances and the practical difficulty of fully evacuating every fluid passage within the transaxle assembly before refilling.
  • All three configurations, covering the 110 kW 4Motion, the 125 kW rear-wheel-drive, and the 125 kW 4Motion variants, share an identical capacity specification, indicating a common automatic transaxle unit across those power outputs and drivetrain layouts in the T7 generation.
  • Each row is designated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacity applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip driving.
