Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Transporter T7 automatic transaxle dry fill capacity of 11.5–12.5 liters applies across the 2.0 TDI (110 kW) 4Motion, 2.0 TDI (125 kW), and 2.0 TDI (125 kW) 4Motion configurations introduced in 2024.
  • A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled transmission, including all internal passages, the torque converter, and the valve body, rather than the smaller amount exchanged during a routine service.
  • The 0.5-liter spread between the lower and upper bounds of the 11.5–12.5 liter range reflects normal manufacturing tolerances and the practical difficulty of achieving a perfectly consistent fill level across individual units.
  • Both the front-wheel-drive 2.0 TDI (125 kW) and the all-wheel-drive 2.0 TDI (125 kW) 4Motion share an identical dry fill range, indicating the transaxle assembly itself carries the same fluid volume regardless of drivetrain configuration in those variants.
  • All three configurations are noted specifically as transaxle, automatic units, meaning the transmission and final drive are housed in a single combined casing, which accounts for the relatively high total fluid capacity compared with a standalone gearbox.
  • The normal use condition applies uniformly across all three listed configurations, meaning the stated capacity figures are associated with standard operating conditions rather than a severe-duty or first-change-only scenario.
