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

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen Passat B7, 3C/36 (EU) transfer case fluid capacity is 0,9 liter. Service intervals consist of checks every 60000 km or 24 months. The data covers 5 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • Across all five 4Motion configurations of the Volkswagen Passat B7, the angle gearbox (transferbox) holds a fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, a figure consistent with the compact, single-unit transfer cases commonly found in transversely mounted all-wheel-drive systems.
  • The four TDI 4Motion variants — spanning 103 kW and 125-130 kW outputs across 2010-2015 — share the same 0.9 liter transfer case capacity, indicating no variation in the unit's fluid volume across the diesel power range.
  • The 103 kW TDI 4Motion and the 103 kW TDI 4Motion DPF variants both carry identical 0.9 liter capacities under normal use conditions, meaning the addition of a diesel particulate filter does not alter the transfer case specification.
  • The 125 kW TDI 4Motion covers model years 2010-2013, while the 130 kW TDI 4Motion covers 2013-2015, with both sharing the 0.9 liter capacity — a detail that points to a common transfer case unit bridging the two output variants.
  • Among all listed configurations, only the 3.6 V6 (220 kW) 4Motion carries a stated service interval for the transfer case fluid, specified as a check at 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 60,000 km / 24-month interval on the V6 4Motion represents a time-and-distance combined schedule, meaning whichever threshold is reached first would trigger the fluid check.
