I assume it's a 9n/9n3 so it's a PD engine? The oil spec for these is VW 505.01. Opieoils have categorised them nicely, so anything on this page you can use.

If you change your oil at extended intervals (less often than 10k or 12 months) You'll want any oil with the VW 507.00 spec, anything on this page.

You'll notice that there are some 507.00 oils that are also 505.01, that's because any oil that qualifies for 507.00 already qualifies for 505.01.

Hope this helps!
