Thus far (only 10,000 miles into the game), I have been rather surprised that I have not had to add a drop of oil yet to my 2010 2.0 TSI. Drove with the DSG in Sport mode during break-in (in an effort to keep the revs up a bit, and encourage more range in the shift points), drained the factory fill at 1400 miles, and have been using Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 since then (changed out at 6,000 and 10,000 miles).
Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 16093 km

Pros: still like new
Cons: factory wipers blew
Vehicle:

i just purchased an '02 b5.5, and replaced the OE wipers with the bosch icons, 21'' driverside, 19'' passenger. this left me with only a slight lip on the passenger side which is actually good for when it's icy/snowy and i won't damage my blade.
Pros: good for icy/snowy conditions
Cons: slight lip on passenger side

I took my car to the dealer to drain the factory fill oil at 1400 miles and have Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40 oil added, they also did "Updated software level, performed 24R9 Recall"
Pros: updated software level
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 1400 km
In my B3 Vr6, about 3yrs ago, I swapout the NgKs to Bosch Fusion 4-prones and my mileage went from 17 or so to 32mpgs. My car responded better and better mileage.
Pros: great mileage, better response
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B3
I had my local mechanic (not a VW specialist) do this on my 1.8T in my Passat not too long ago. The total was around $1100. That included my regular oil and filter change, replacement of timing belt, water pump, timing belt damper, and accessory belts (a/c, power steering and alternator).

I've had Bilstein Sports in the front and Bilstein HD in the back on my B4 PASSAT WAGON. Th eride was way too firm.
Cons: ride was too firm
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B4
The front rotors were in a box from Zimmerman and rear were from Brembo. Just about from the start the brakes slightly squealed. The noise gradually increased that nearly each time the brakes were stepped on they squealed. After about 2K miles the noise got to the point of being excessive. They squeal in the morning when cool when slowing from 20MPH or warm and hot when slowing from 45+MPH. The only way to make them silent is to slam on them hard, but the next time they will squeal as well. In addition to the noise, the rotors started developing rust on the hub sections.
Cons: rotors rusted, brakes squealed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 2000 km
