Use Castrol 0W40 or Mobil1 0W40 FS. I would personally go with Catsrol 0W40, but it is splitting hairs.
Numerous UOA of Castrol 0W40 in VW TSI engines and from what I noticed, they hold better then Motul. Mobil1 0W40 FS is fairly new, so not as much data. Old version was ridiculously stout in terms of cst, but TBN depletion was horrid in my VW CC.
