I bought a new air filter for carb. I reinstalled the front engine pan. I did an oil change. VW specialist recommended I go to Kendall 20w50 to fix the oil light at idle.

5w40 is fine for the summer.. I would go with liqui moly next time if the prices are similar.
Pros: fine for the summer

I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.
Pros: worked great

(2013 VW GTI) Used to use this exact oil and noticed LiquiMoly 5W-40 (they even have a UV dye version if you have any sneaky oil leaks) performed better for my car specifically. I do frequent changes 3000-4000 miles and the oil doesn’t seem so burnt, I experienced less oil consumption, and the engine oil temp seems to sit slightly lower as well.
Pros: performed better, less consumption
Cons: oil seemed burnt

As long as it states VW502 on the back, you should be fine.
I used to live in Chicago, and had cut over to Mobil1 0W40 based on feedback from a very respected resource who worked for Porsche. For context, his recommendation was grounded in enabling my engine to better handle the harsh Chicago winter temps.
To be frank, I'm not sure if it made a huge difference but then again I do not have a chemical or petroleum engineering degree.
I drove my VW to 200k miles without any issues.

I had a 2009 VW Rabbit, and I'd often buy Castrol Syntec (full synthetic). I haven't seen this 'Euro Car' formula, but it says it's full synthetic, so I think it would be fine.
Pros: full synthetic

I bought Vredestein Wintrac Pro and have really liked them. I live in western Massachusetts and have a very long gravel driveway up a steep hill. The tires are great and get very good ratings.
Pros: really liked them, tires are great
