Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen (VW) Golf VII AU2 1.4 TSI (110 kW) carries a coolant capacity of 10 liters, regardless of whether the vehicle was produced before or as of the July 1, 2020 production date cutoff.
  • The 1.8 TSI (125 kW) and 2.0 GTI (162 kW) variants covering 2017-2018 both share an 8-liter coolant capacity, which is 2 liters less than the capacities listed for the 1.4 TSI (110 kW) and 2.0 GTI (170 kW) configurations.
  • The 2.0 GTI (170 kW) spanning 2018-2021 holds a 10-liter coolant capacity, and like the 1.4 TSI (110 kW), the specification is split across two entries divided by the July 1, 2020 production date, with both entries carrying the same 10-liter figure.
  • A coolant check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions applies uniformly across all six configurations listed, covering the 1.4 TSI (110 kW), 1.8 TSI (125 kW), 2.0 GTI (162 kW), and 2.0 GTI (170 kW) variants.
  • The July 1, 2020 production date serves as a dividing marker for both the 1.4 TSI (110 kW) and the 2.0 GTI (170 kW), distinguishing two separate cooling system specifications per variant, though the capacity and interval values remain identical across each pair of entries.
  • The power output difference between the two GTI variants is notable in the context of capacity: the 162 kW version lists 8 liters while the 170 kW version lists 10 liters, reflecting a 2-liter difference between the two GTI engine outputs.
