Additional Notes

  • Both the 2.0 TDI 4Motion (142 kW) and the 2.0 TSI 4Motion (195 kW) variants of the Volkswagen Passat B9 CJ5 (EU) share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.95 liter, which is a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • A 0.95 liter capacity in a rear differential is a relatively modest volume, reflecting the compact design of the rear drive unit used in transverse-platform all-wheel-drive systems.
  • The rear differential fluid specification applies under normal use conditions for both the diesel 4Motion and the petrol 4Motion configurations introduced from 2024.
  • The alignment of fluid capacity across two mechanically distinct powertrains, one diesel and one petrol, suggests the rear differential unit is shared between the 142 kW TDI and 195 kW TSI 4Motion variants.
