Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Touareg 7P5 hydraulic brake system holds either 1.1 or 1.2 liters of brake fluid depending on the engine variant, with the 3.0 V6 TFSI Hybrid requiring the smaller 1.1-liter capacity.
  • The 3.0 V6 TDI (165 kW) carries a 24-month change interval under normal use conditions, while an initial service interval extends to 36 months at the same 1.2-liter capacity.
  • On the 3.6 V6 FSI, the first change only interval is set at 36 months, after which subsequent changes follow a 24-month cycle, both at a 1.2-liter capacity.
  • The 3.0 V6 TFSI Hybrid maintains a consistent 1.1-liter capacity and 24-month normal change interval across both the 2010-2012 and 2013-2014 model year ranges.
  • The 1.2-liter brake fluid capacity shared by the 3.0 V6 TDI and 3.6 V6 FSI variants reflects a full hydraulic system service fill, accounting for the reservoir and circuit volume rather than a partial top-up quantity.
  • The extended 36-month interval tied to the initial service and first change only conditions reflects the practice of allowing a longer first interval before the standard recurring schedule takes effect.
