I believe it's
10/40 semi synthetic.
A popular oil is synta silver oil that was available from the dealer

10W40 semi synthetic is what you need and best to use a good quality filter, you can buy a genuine VW ones for I guess less than a Halfords own brand filter!

Oil filter
VW £4.14
Mann (also a good make) £3.18

They also have an offer on the oil at the moment, £12.50 for 5I of Synta, offer on till the 15th Jan.

And a new sump plug washer is a good idea.
