I'm servicing my parents 2006 Touareg 3.0 TDI with DPF and it normally reqires VW 507.00 oil.
The engine uses very little oil, about 0.5L every ~25000 km...
I have plenty of Shell helix ultra 0W-40 in stock. It has decent specs but it don't carry the VW507.

Do you think the 0w-40 will hold up as good as vw507 in this engine? - I guess it has a more tbn than vw507 since it carry the mb229.5 spec
Would you put this oil in such an engine?
