Additional Notes

  • Both the Volkswagen Transporter T7 2.0 TDI (110 kW) and 2.0 TDI (81 kW) share identical manual transaxle fluid capacities, with a dry fill of 2.6 liters and a service fill of 2.35 liters.
  • The dry fill figure of 2.6 liters represents the total volume required when filling a completely empty or overhauled transaxle, such as after a full rebuild or unit replacement.
  • The service fill of 2.35 liters applies to routine fluid changes where residual fluid remains in the transaxle after draining, accounting for fluid that clings to internal components and cannot be fully expelled through the drain plug.
  • The difference of 0.25 liters between the dry fill and service fill capacities reflects the volume of fluid that typically remains trapped within the transaxle during a standard drain procedure.
  • Both engine output variants, the 110 kW and the 81 kW, use the same transaxle assembly based on the matching capacity figures, indicating a shared transmission unit across the power range in the 2024 model year.
  • The specifications for both configurations are listed under normal use conditions, meaning the stated service fill capacity of 2.35 liters applies to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
