Additional Notes

  • The VDL Bus & Coach chassis DB250 Euro 3 (2003-2008) rear differential carries a main housing capacity of 10.5 liters, with an additional 1.7 liters required per hub, meaning a full service fill must account for both the central differential and each individual hub reduction unit separately.
  • Hub reduction units, as seen on the DB250 Euro 3, are planetary gear assemblies integrated into the wheel ends that carry their own separate fluid volume, which is why the per-hub figure of 1.7 liters is listed independently from the 10.5-liter main differential capacity.
  • The TB2175 Euro 3 variants fitted with either the DAF PE 183C or DAF PE 228C engine share an identical rear differential capacity of 21.5 liters, indicating a common axle unit is used across both engine configurations in that chassis line starting from 2008.
  • At 21.5 liters, the TB2175 rear differential capacity is substantially larger than the 10.5-liter main housing figure of the DB250 Euro 3, reflecting a heavier-duty or higher-capacity axle assembly suited to the TB2175 platform.
  • All three rows carry a normal use condition, meaning the listed capacities apply to standard operating service fills rather than overhaul or first-fill scenarios.
