Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen (VW) Passat CC, 357 cooling system specifications cover two engine configurations across the 2009-2011 model years: the 2.0 TFSI rated at 147 kW and the 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion rated at 206 kW.
  • The 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) from 2009-2010 carries a cooling system capacity of 7.2 liters, which is notably lower than the 8-liter figure assigned to the same engine in the 2010-2011 model year, indicating a revised cooling system fill volume between those production periods.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion (206 kW) follows a similar pattern, with a capacity of 8 liters for 2009-2010 and a larger 9-liter capacity for 2010-2011, reflecting the greater thermal demands of the larger displacement V6 engine relative to the four-cylinder.
  • A coolant level check interval of 40,000 miles is specified for the 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) in the 2009-2010 model year under normal use conditions. A check interval is a monitoring milestone rather than a full fluid replacement, meaning the system is inspected for concentration and level at that mileage point.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion (206 kW) in the 2009-2010 model year carries a check interval of 20,000 miles under normal use conditions, which is half the interval assigned to the 2.0 TFSI for the same period, pointing to a more frequent monitoring schedule for the higher-output engine configuration.
  • No check interval is listed for either engine in the 2010-2011 model year rows, with those entries recording only the coolant capacity figure.
