Additional Notes

  • Across all Volkswagen CC 358 configurations covered, brake fluid capacity is expressed in two distinct ways depending on the engine. The 2.0 TFSI variants specify a fill level between the minimum and maximum reservoir marks rather than a fixed volume, while the 3.6 V6 FSI and 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion variants carry a stated capacity of 1.2 liters for the hydraulic brake and clutch system.
  • The "between min and max" specification on the 2.0 TFSI reflects a reservoir-level reference rather than a total system volume. Brake fluid is not fully drained and refilled during a standard service change, so the reservoir level after a flush should fall within the marked range on the reservoir body.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI and 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion configurations share a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, which accounts for the 1.2-liter capacity figure. A shared hydraulic circuit means brake fluid services on those variants address both systems simultaneously.
  • All configurations follow a two-tier change interval structure. The first fluid change is due at 36 months, while all subsequent changes are due at 24-month intervals. The extended initial interval reflects factory-fill fluid conditions at the time of production.
  • The 24-month subsequent change interval applies under normal use conditions for the 3.6 V6 FSI and 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion variants, and under the "subsequently" condition for the 2.0 TFSI variants. In both cases, the interval shortens after the first service cycle.
  • The 2011-2013 and 2013-2016 model year ranges for each engine variant carry identical interval and capacity specifications. No difference in brake fluid service requirements exists between those two production periods for any of the listed configurations.
  • The 4Motion designation on the 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion indicates all-wheel drive, yet the brake fluid capacity and service intervals for that variant are identical to the two-wheel-drive 3.6 V6 FSI. The addition of all-wheel-drive hardware does not alter the hydraulic brake and clutch system fluid specifications.
