I would recommend synta gold, which is fully synthetic.

synta silver!

Why?

Synta Gold is fine, but can be a bit thin, especially for higher mileage engines.  I used to use it in my my VR (95k on the clock), but switched to Synta Silver when it started to drink a bit.  Now use it in my GTi too.  It's only around £12 for 5 litres at GSF!!

cos gold is too thin really. silver isn't so works better on most cars.
