I've used Motul in my Golfs for years, good stuff.
Sounds like you already have your answer, but yes, the Motul 8100 X-Cess is a good oil, probably better than their VW specific oil.
Been using Motul on my 3.2 for the past two oil changes. Haven't had any issues.
I had use both and i have driven more miles without needing to refill with motul. But motul > mobil one
I always ran the Motul Grand Prix in my shifter, I never had any engine problems. Still run it in my dirt bike, I love the smell of it, too.
I use MOTUL for my oil.
When I changed to full ester Motul in my motorbike, there was a noticeable reduction in the time it took for the startup rattles to quieten down.
Motul is quality stuff. I had a MK5 and drove it about 90k miles and I put Motul every 5k and my car always performed well.
All I know is my dealer used 5W30 Castrol throughout my free factory serviceand I burned oil like crazy, since I have switched to Motul VW specific 5W-40 I have yet to burn anything noticeable.
I am now testing Motul x-cess which should be even better
