Go to VW for the oil, it's the best for your car and it's cheaper than anywhere else (£16 for 5l at my local branch).

I know..shocking!  i had a double take at the parts guy who knows me for all my custom and he was almost embarassed about it!

From what i've heard it's not a nationwide dealer practice..as yet anyway i don't know..so you may be alright still.

Anyways vwspares do it for about 12.50 with postage so phew!  lets hope they don't hike their prices.

As above, buy Quantum Synta silver from VW direct or a VW specialist outlet.
