Under Engine wear: All these oil recommendations from VW are fine except they forget to mention one important detail: they are the recommendations for a NEW engine. As the engine ages, the bearing clearances increase and you need to use a thicker oil to maintain proper oil pressure. What's good for your engine isn't necessarily good for someone else's engine simply because of the difference in mileage and actual wear.

Great, but....... they could only supply me with an oil filter Not only did they not have any 10w/40 in stock (the recommended oil on their system btw), but they informed me that they can't even get it from the suppliers Useless This is the same dealer in Ashton Under Lyne that quoted me over £15 for a dash bulb!!
