Additional Notes
- The automatic transmission fluid capacity for the Volkswagen Transporter III 1.9 (57 kW) is 6 liters, which represents a service fill volume typical of a conventional automatic gearbox of that era, accounting for fluid retained within the torque converter and valve body during a standard drain-and-refill procedure.
- The 6-liter figure applies to the 1982-1985 production span of the 1.9 (57 kW) variant, meaning the same capacity specification covers the entire range of model years listed for this configuration.
- The service interval for automatic transmission fluid on the 1.9 (57 kW) is set at 30,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, and both the distance and time thresholds apply under normal use conditions.
- The 36-month time limit alongside the 30,000 km distance threshold reflects a dual-criterion interval structure, where calendar aging of the fluid is treated as an independent factor from mileage accumulation under normal operating conditions.
