10w 40 is recommended. Use that!

Different engine use different oil.

5W 30 is diesel engines mainly

5w30 is the proper spec oil for the 1.8t golf/passat (and others)  :nerd:

Did say mainly
but as said 10w40 is the o.e spec oil

Valve stem seals are allowing oil to drop into the combustion chember which is then being burnt off, if you had worn rings it would smoke all the time.
