Additional Notes
- All five configurations listed cover the 2020-2024 model years and are exclusively 4Motion variants, meaning transfer case fluid specifications apply only to all-wheel-drive versions of the Volkswagen Tiguan AX1 (EU).
- The component described across all rows is identified as an angle gearbox or transferbox, which refers to the unit that distributes torque between the front and rear axles in an AWD drivetrain.
- Four of the five configurations share a capacity range of 0.75-0.9 liter. A range rather than a fixed value typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and the total volume measured during a full overhaul or dry fill.
- The 2.0 TSI (140 kW) 4Motion PF variant carries a fixed capacity of 0.85 liter, which falls within the range specified for the other configurations but is stated as a single value rather than a range.
- The fixed 0.85 liter figure for the 140 kW TSI PF variant suggests a more precisely defined fill volume for that specific angle gearbox assembly, distinguishing it from the tolerance-based range used for the TDI and 162 kW TSI units.
- All rows are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the capacity figures listed apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles such as towing, off-road use, or extreme temperature operation.
- The 2.0 TDI 110 kW 4Motion appears twice in the specifications with identical data across both entries, indicating a duplicate row rather than a variation between sub-variants or production periods.
- Both TDI outputs, 110 kW and 130 kW, share the same 0.75-0.9 liter capacity range for the angle gearbox, indicating no differentiation in transfer case fluid volume between the two diesel power outputs across 2020-2024.
