Cheers, what oil do vw say it should have? And can I ask why you use that oil?

as long as vw502 oil it will be fine.
some use 5w30 but i feel this is likely to be too thin on a turbo motor particularly come summer temps and heavy use.

Thanks I've done some research on here and found that 0w30 is a favourite? Any thoughts?

as above really, i prefer the 5w40 as it doesnt thin out so much at higher temps.
