Any help appreciated.

If it's a PD engine you need a oil that meets the VW standard 505.01 which can be found in 5W40 and 5W30. If it's not PD engine then a VW 502.00 505.00 oil will do which is usually 10W40 but can be got in other weights.The newer engines with DPFs need 506.00/507.00 standard which is full synthetic. The older engine with more wear in it may use more oil at the lighter weights. If you have the manual it will be in there if not look up online with the engine code.
