Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Polo IV 9N automatic transmission fluid capacity holds at 5.7 liters across both the 2002-2005 and 2005-2009 variants of the 1.4 16V 55 kW engine, indicating a consistent transaxle unit between those two production periods.
  • The 1.4 16V 55 kW variant produced from 2002-2005 carries a check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions, which is a notably shorter distance-based interval compared to later specifications for the same engine output.
  • From 2005-2009, the same 1.4 16V 55 kW engine's check interval extended to 60,000 km or 24 months under normal use, doubling the distance threshold while keeping the time-based interval unchanged.
  • The 1.4 16V 59 kW variant from 2006-2009 lists a 7-liter capacity marked as an initial fill, meaning the figure reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled transaxle rather than a routine service top-up quantity.
  • The 1.6 16V 77 kW variant from 2006-2009 also carries a 7-liter capacity, and unlike the 59 kW entry, no initial fill designation is attached, placing the figure in the context of a standard service capacity for that transaxle.
  • Both the 1.4 16V 59 kW and 1.6 16V 77 kW engines share the same 60,000 km or 24-month check interval under normal use conditions, aligning the two higher-output variants on a common service schedule despite differing displacement and power output.
