Volkswagen (VW) Passat B7, 3C/36 (EU)

Additional Notes

• All six 4Motion configurations listed across the Volkswagen Passat B7 3C/36 (EU) range share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.95 liter. A capacity at this level is characteristic of a compact rear differential unit, consistent with the Haldex-type rear axle used in transverse all-wheel-drive platforms rather than a larger longitudinal drivetrain differential.
• The 0.95 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when refilling a differential already installed in the vehicle, as opposed to a bench or overhaul fill which would account for additional fluid retained in passages and components during disassembly.
• All specifications are assigned a normal use condition, meaning the listed capacity applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as frequent towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature exposure.
• The 2.0 TDI (103 kW) 4Motion and the 2.0 TDI (103 kW) 4Motion DPF variants cover the same 2010-2015 period and share the same 0.95 liter rear differential capacity. The DPF designation indicates the presence of a diesel particulate filter, distinguishing the two in emissions equipment without affecting the differential specification.
• The 2.0 TDI (125 kW) 4Motion covers 2010-2013, while the 2.0 TDI (130 kW) 4Motion covers 2013-2015. Both carry the same 0.95 liter rear differential capacity, indicating the power output increase between these two diesel variants had no effect on the rear differential fluid volume requirement.
• The Passat 3.6 V6 (220 kW) 4Motion is the only configuration in the listed specifications that includes a service interval for the rear differential fluid, specified as a check at 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions. No equivalent interval entry appears for any of the four-cylinder variants in these specifications.
• The 60,000 km / 24-month interval on the 3.6 V6 (220 kW) 4Motion specifies a fluid check rather than a fluid change. A check interval means the fluid level and condition are to be inspected at that point, which is a distinct service action from a scheduled drain-and-refill procedure.
• The 2.0 TFSI (155 kW) 4Motion, introduced in 2012, is the sole petrol turbocharged direct injection variant among the listed configurations. Like all other entries, the rear differential capacity is 0.95 liter under normal use conditions, with no service interval specified in these specifications.
