TypeSpecifications

  • Rear
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 0,95 liter (Initial fill)

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Rabbit R32 rear differential carries an initial fill capacity of 0.95 liter, a figure that reflects a factory-set fluid charge rather than a full overhaul or drain-and-refill volume.
  • The 0.95 liter initial fill applies to the 184 kW R32 configuration for 2007-2008, distinguishing the rear differential service requirement from front-wheel-drive Rabbit variants that carry no rear differential specification.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid level on the R32 is subject to a check interval of 40,000 miles rather than a scheduled replacement, meaning the service action at that interval is inspection rather than a full fluid exchange.
