Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Tiguan 5N1 2.0 TFSI 4Motion (147 kW), covering model years 2007-2011, carries a transfer case fluid capacity of 0.9 liter, which is a relatively small volume consistent with the compact nature of an angle gearbox or transferbox unit rather than a larger drivetrain assembly.
  • The 0.9 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used when servicing the unit in its installed position, as opposed to a full overhaul or bench-fill quantity that would account for complete drainage of all internal passages.
  • The listed use condition for the 2007-2011 2.0 TFSI 4Motion transfer case is normal, meaning the 0.9 liter capacity specification applies under standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
