  • Capacity 0,9 liter

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Tiguan 5N1 2.0 TFSI 4Motion (147 kW) carries a rear differential fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, which is a relatively modest volume consistent with a compact rear drive unit rather than a standalone axle assembly requiring a larger service fill.
  • The 0.9 liter figure applies under normal use conditions, meaning the interval and fill quantity are based on standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature exposure.
  • A capacity at this level in a rear differential typically reflects a sealed or semi-sealed unit where the fill volume serves both lubrication and heat dissipation within a confined housing, leaving little margin for fluid loss between service intervals.
