Additional Notes
- Both 4Motion variants listed carry a transfer case capacity of 0.9 liter, which is a relatively small fill volume consistent with compact angle gearbox or transferbox units found in transversely mounted all-wheel-drive systems.
- The Volkswagen Golf IV 1J1 1.9 TDI (74 kW) 4Motion covers the 2000-2005 model years with a 0.9 liter transfer case capacity under normal use conditions.
- The 1.9 TDI (85 kW) 4Motion variant shares the same 0.9 liter capacity but applies only across the 2000-2002 model years, representing a shorter production window than the 74 kW counterpart.
- The normal use condition designation on both rows indicates the 0.9 liter figure applies to standard operating environments, as opposed to severe-duty cycles that sometimes carry different service intervals or fluid change frequencies.
- The component described as an angle gearbox or transferbox refers to the unit that distributes torque from the front-wheel-drive based drivetrain to the rear axle, and the 0.9 liter figure represents the service fill volume for fluid maintenance on that assembly.
