Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Tiguan 5N2 (USA / CAN) transfer case fluid capacity holds at 0.9 liter across all listed configurations spanning 2011-2018, covering both the standard Tiguan and the Tiguan Limited nameplates.
  • The 0.9 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid the unit holds during normal operation rather than a larger overhaul or bench-fill quantity.
  • All four configurations identify the serviced unit as an angle gearbox or transferbox, which refers to the mechanical assembly that splits drive torque between the front and rear axles in the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
  • Every listed row carries a normal use condition tied to the 0.9 liter capacity, indicating the specification applies to standard operating environments rather than a severe-duty or first-change interval.
  • The 2.0 TFSI engine rated at 147 kW is the sole powertrain represented across all transfer case fluid entries for the Tiguan 5N2 in the USA and CAN market, with 4Motion all-wheel drive present in every case.
  • The Tiguan Limited designation, appearing in the 2016-2018 row, was a market-specific trim used in North America as a carry-over model, yet the transfer case fluid capacity of 0.9 liter remained unchanged from earlier Tiguan 5N2 configurations.
