Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Tiguan automatic transaxle carries an initial fill capacity of 7 liters across all four configurations covered in the 2017-2021 specifications.
  • An initial fill figure, as opposed to a service or overhaul fill, represents the fluid volume loaded into the transmission at the factory or after a complete drain, and the 7-liter value here applies uniformly to both the standard Tiguan and the Allspace long-wheelbase variant.
  • The 2.0 TFSI (137 kW) front-wheel-drive configuration carries a fluid check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The 4Motion all-wheel-drive variant of the same 2.0 TFSI engine carries a check interval of 40,000 miles under normal use conditions, which is double the mileage threshold assigned to the front-wheel-drive version.
  • Despite the difference in check intervals between the front-wheel-drive and 4Motion configurations, both share an identical fluid change interval of 80,000 miles under normal use conditions.
  • The Tiguan Allspace 2.0 TFSI (137 kW) front-wheel-drive configuration mirrors the standard Tiguan front-wheel-drive check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months, with the same 80,000-mile change interval.
  • The Tiguan Allspace 4Motion configuration likewise mirrors the standard Tiguan 4Motion check interval of 40,000 miles, again paired with an 80,000-mile change interval under normal use conditions.
  • The Tiguan Allspace configurations appear in the specifications beginning with model year 2020, while the standard Tiguan 2.0 TFSI configurations in both front-wheel-drive and 4Motion forms are listed from 2017 onward.
