Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen, 1K5 manual transaxle fluid specifications cover three engine variants across the 2007-2009 model years: the 2.0 TDI (103 kW), the 2.0 TSI (147 kW), and the 2.5 (125 kW).
  • Both the 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TSI variants share an identical manual transaxle initial fill capacity of 2.3 liters, indicating the same transaxle unit is used across the diesel and turbocharged petrol four-cylinder configurations.
  • The 2.5 (125 kW) variant carries a notably lower initial fill capacity of 1.9 liters for the manual transaxle, a difference of 0.4 liters compared to the two 2.0-liter engine variants.
  • An initial fill capacity value, as seen across all three variants here, refers to the amount of fluid required when filling a dry or newly assembled unit, rather than a service drain-and-refill quantity, which is typically lower due to residual fluid remaining in the housing.
  • All three engine variants share a uniform fluid check interval of 20,000 miles under normal use conditions, applying equally to the diesel, turbocharged petrol, and naturally aspirated petrol configurations.
  • The 20,000-mile check interval is classified under normal use conditions for all three variants, meaning the interval applies to standard operating environments rather than severe or demanding service cycles.
