Well after reading the whole thread I am still confused.

What about this stuff ? Fully Syth 5w 40

Back in a 1.8t then?

Sure am, got bored not having a car and really missed my old one so though fook it. This one needs a damn good service though so need to know what do put in it. Only done 67k miles.

What do you think on the oil ? AGU engine code.

VW told me to get 10/40 but I'd go with 5w30 IIRC.

I've been helping out with a few jobs on your old car

Got 10-40 in mine and never had a problem

I've got to go to Vw tomorrow so I may ask them again.

Really what you been up to with it ?

I was going to go down the route of a small runabout but did not like any I saw, then I found this one. Really like dmy old one and was sad to sell it 

I really need to know this asap, in fact I am going to ring VW now.

Edit : My god have I accidentally rang Halfords instead, the guy on the phone is a chimpanzee.

Ok finally some idea of whats needed.

If using long life oil then 5w - 30 is recommended (fully synth), if more often changed then can use 15w - 40 plus a more expensive option is 5w - 40 (fully synth)

Think I may go with the stuff I found in this case
