VW505.01 is a diesel oil chap so is not relevant to the FSi engine
VW504.00 has nothing to do with euro IV, the 504.00 is the petrol longlife oil spec so if she's on longlife servicing then they've used the correct oil.
1. VW 505.01 is always couple with VW 502.00 spec. Basically, if you have 1.8T or FSi or TFSI engine you can use VW 505.01 or VW 502.00. If you have TDI PD engine you can use ONLY 505.01.
2. VW 504.00 is not made because VW needed LL oil. Long Life OCI can be used ONLY under certain circumstances. VW 504.00/VW507.00 are designed bcs TDI engines needed to meet new EU emission standards and only way to achieve those standard was to use DPF. Since Sulfated ash and phosphorus in oil are biggest enemy of DPF, manufacturers had to start using Low-SAPS oils.
