Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen (VW) Tiguan Allspace BW 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF covers a hydraulic brake/clutch system with an initial fill capacity of 6.7–6.9 liters, which is notably higher than the 6-liter service fill figure listed for the same configuration.
  • The gap between the 6.7–6.9-liter initial fill and the 6-liter service fill on the 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF reflects the difference between a full system charge at the factory or after an overhaul versus the smaller volume exchanged during a routine fluid change.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF carries a brake fluid change interval of 24 months for the 2018-2020 model years.
  • A separate first-change-only interval of 36 months applies to the same 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF configuration, meaning the very first fluid change after initial fill is extended to 36 months before reverting to the standard 24-month cycle.
  • The 2.0 TDI (140 kW) 4Motion lists a 1-liter capacity for the hydraulic brake/clutch system across both the 2017-2020 and 2020-2021 model year entries, with a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions in each case.
  • The 2.0 TSI (140 kW) 4Motion PF for 2020-2024 does not carry a discrete liter value for brake fluid capacity; instead, the specification references a fill level between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, with a 24-month change interval under normal use.
  • The 2.0 TSI (140 kW) 4Motion PF entry describes the system as a hydraulic brake system, whereas the 1.5 TSI (110 kW) PF and 2.0 TDI (140 kW) 4Motion entries both describe a hydraulic brake/clutch system, indicating a structural difference in how brake fluid is shared across vehicle systems depending on the drivetrain configuration.
