Additional Notes
- The Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen and Alltrack equipped with the 1.8 TSI 4motion (125 kW) carry a transfer case fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, which is a relatively small volume consistent with a compact angle gearbox or transferbox unit rather than a larger standalone transfer case assembly.
- The 2017-2018 1.8 TSI 4motion configuration specifies a fluid check interval of every 40,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
- The 2018-2019 1.8 TSI 4motion configuration carries the same 0.9 liter capacity but specifies a fluid check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, representing a notably shorter mileage threshold compared to the earlier interval.
- The mileage-based check interval for the angle gearbox was reduced by half between the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 specifications, dropping from 40,000 miles to 20,000 miles, while the 24-month time-based interval remained unchanged across both entries.
- Both specifications identify the unit as an angle gearbox or transferbox, a designation that refers to a bevel gear-type coupling used in transverse-engine all-wheel-drive layouts to redirect torque to the rear axle, which accounts for the compact 0.9 liter fluid fill.
