Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen 1.4 TSI (110 kW) carries an initial fill capacity of 6.3 liters for its automatic transaxle, a figure that represents the total fluid volume required when the transmission is dry or has been fully rebuilt.
  • No refill or partial-drain capacity is listed for the 1.4 TSI automatic transaxle, meaning the 6.3-liter figure applies only to an initial fill scenario rather than a routine fluid exchange.
  • The 1.8 TSI 4motion semi-automatic transaxle specifies an initial fill range of 6.9 to 7.2 liters, a spread that reflects minor variation depending on assembly conditions or residual fluid retained in the unit.
  • A dedicated refill capacity of 5.2 liters is listed for the 1.8 TSI 4motion semi-automatic transaxle, which is the volume expected during a standard drain-and-fill service where some fluid remains in the torque converter or passages.
  • The Mechatronic Only capacity of 3 to 4 liters on the 1.8 TSI 4motion semi-automatic transaxle refers to the fluid volume associated solely with the mechatronic unit, the integrated hydraulic and electronic control assembly within the transmission, when serviced independently.
  • Under normal use conditions, both the 1.4 TSI and 1.8 TSI 4motion transaxles share a fluid check interval of every 20,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The 1.4 TSI automatic transaxle carries a change interval of 80,000 miles under normal use conditions, which is double the 40,000-mile change interval specified for the 1.8 TSI 4motion semi-automatic transaxle under the same conditions.
  • The 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 Golf Sportwagen and Alltrack 1.8 TSI 4motion configurations share identical capacity values and service intervals, indicating no specification change was introduced at the 2018 model year boundary for that drivetrain.
