Additional Notes

  • All 4Motion configurations of the Volkswagen Passat CC 357 share a uniform transfer case fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, which is a typical service fill volume for a compact angle gearbox of this type rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill quantity.
  • The component described as an angle gearbox or transferbox is the unit that redirects drive from the longitudinal transmission output to the rear axle, a design common in transverse-to-longitudinal AWD conversions used in this platform.
  • The specified check interval for all listed configurations is 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning the fluid level is to be inspected at whichever threshold arrives first.
  • The 60,000 km / 24-month interval applies equally across both diesel 4Motion variants — the 103 kW and 125 kW 2.0 TDI — and the petrol 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion, indicating no differentiation by engine output or fuel type in the transfer case service schedule.
  • The 103 kW 2.0 TDI 4Motion appears across two separate year ranges, 2009-2010 and 2010-2012, with identical capacity and interval specifications in both entries, reflecting a production or specification revision boundary at 2010 without any change to the transfer case service data.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion is listed in both a general EU variant covering 2008-2012 and a North American Region (NAR) variant split across 2008-2010 and 2011-2012, with all three entries carrying the same 0.9 liter capacity and 60,000 km / 24-month check interval.
  • The NAR designation distinguishes market-specific variants of the 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion from the general EU-market entry, though the transfer case fluid specifications remain consistent across both market versions.
