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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Part number for the oil: G055512A2 $14 (x2) O-ring: N90362001 $4 (x2) Paid ~$38 total Yeah my dealer is about 40 minutes away so I bought two in case I want to order oil in the future and do this again sometime...or if it leaks for some reason and I have to drain/refill, I just didn't want to drive back.
Pros: bought extra o-rings
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Part number: G055512A2

The oil spec for the 1.8L engine in my 2019 Golf Sportwagen S 4motion is 502.00 (5W40). After my last oil change at the dealer I questioned whether they used the correct oil because the service ticket was written up wrong. The dealer supplied these photos to show how the different grades of oil are actually different colors. The oil on my dipstick was caramel colored, so I knew it was the correct grade for my car after all.
Pros: correct grade for car
Cons: service ticket was wrong
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

Just keep the right viscosity oil in it and monitor the oil temp. You might be able to read oil temp from you ECU through the obd port. 120-130C is very ok with good synthetic oil.
I blew up a VW polo with the wrong oil and high oil temps.
Pros: good synthetic oil ok
Cons: wrong oil high temps
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
Pros: identified incorrect oil
Cons: incorrect oil used
Part number: G-E60-020-1B-DSP
