This is asked at least once a week. It's Castrol Edge 5W30  :smiley:

Buy it from Asda if you like to pay least amount of money   :wink:

This should help. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=search2

Also your car should have come with a manual covering all basic aspects of maintenance.

thanks for that,, yes the manual does but only lists a vw part number and it was years ago it was printed so oils get better as the manual states and a current version may be better
