Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Taos 1.5 TSI (118 kW) 4Motion lists two separate rear differential fluid capacities under normal use conditions: 0.9 liter and 0.95 liter.
  • A rear differential capacity in the sub-1-liter range is characteristic of a compact rear drive module, which is a sealed unit integrating the differential and an electronically controlled clutch pack for on-demand all-wheel drive engagement.
  • Both capacity values apply to the same normal use condition, meaning neither figure is designated for a severe service interval or a first-change-only procedure.
  • The 0.05-liter difference between the two listed capacities likely reflects a drain-and-fill service fill versus a figure accounting for residual fluid retained in the unit after draining, a distinction common in compact rear drive modules where full evacuation is difficult without disassembly.
