Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Passat B7 1.4 TSI MultiFuel (118 kW) uses an electro-hydraulic power steering system, which combines an electric motor with a hydraulic pump rather than relying solely on engine-driven hydraulic pressure.
  • Rather than specifying a fixed fluid volume, the 2011-2012 1.4 TSI MultiFuel specification calls for a fluid level maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, indicating a top-up or inspection-based service approach rather than a measured drain-and-fill procedure.
  • Under normal use conditions, the power steering fluid inspection interval for the 1.4 TSI MultiFuel is set at 24 months or 30,000 km, whichever comes first.
