Go to VW and get their Quantum oil - does the job perfectly

You'll need around 4-4.5 litres so get the 5 litre bottle

yep it will be unless you got a leak    You normally get about 4 litres out of it - leave it drain for a good hour or so to get the most out

Urm not sure mate  - they don't do many oils so just ask for the one for the 1.8T    would think its 5w-30 or something like that

Also tends to be cheaper than any stuff Halfords stock.  I picked up 5 litres for my derv for less than £30 and I find it runs much better than the other oil brands I've tried

get your oil filter and new sump plug from vag.

do u need a new sump plug for a change?

[oliver07]

they cost a couple of quid come with a new tapered washer it will prevent leaks from the plug I run a agu love it remember to flush the oil first get a flushing solution.
look at the polin filter , air filter and plugs get these all changed and notice the difference.
is your car standard 150 bhp.
