Additional Notes
- The Volkswagen (VW) Caddy SB carries an initial fill capacity of 6.7–6.9 liters for the automatic transaxle, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled unit from empty.
- Service fill capacity is rated at 6 liters across the 1.5 TSI (84 kW), 1.5 TSI (85 kW), and 2.0 TDI (90 kW) configurations, which is lower than the initial fill because residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages during a routine drain-and-fill procedure.
- The gap between the 6.7–6.9 liter initial fill and the 6 liter service fill means approximately 0.7–0.9 liters of fluid is retained in the transmission circuit during a standard service, a normal characteristic of semi-automatic transaxle designs.
- All three engine variants share an identical 120,000 km fluid change interval under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to everyday driving rather than elevated-stress operating environments.
- The 1.5 TSI variant introduced in 2025 at 85 kW carries the same capacity and interval specifications as the earlier 84 kW version from 2020, indicating no change in transmission fluid requirements between the two power outputs.
- All listed configurations are described as semi-automatic transaxle units, a layout that combines the transmission and differential in a single housing, which is relevant to understanding why the fluid volumes are specified as they are rather than as separate drivetrain figures.
