What is the recommended oil for a 2003 Passat with a 1.8L engine?

VW recommends synthetic oil only. In fact, your warranty will become void if you use anything else. There is a factory service bulletin warning about engine oil sludge problems using conventional oil. Don't use blends either, just straight synthetic. VW recommends 5W-40, but 5W-30 works just fine, and that's what I use (since 5W40 isn't as easy to find). Expect to pay $5+ per quart, and you will need almost 5 quarts. Be sure to use the factory MANN oil filter too since it has a large capacity. If you search this site, there is alot of other threads concerning this very issue.

Is the turbocharger on the 2003 Passat 18L worth replacing?
It takes an experienced mechanic about three hours to change from start to finish. You may be able to find a good used turbo for about $400, the new gaskets will be about $80. A new turbo is around $900. Check rockauto.com for good parts prices, I've had good luck there, also vwvortex.com

How long does the TurboCharger for a 2003 Passat 18L last Also what is the implications of not changing it?
it should last between 150,000 and 200,000 miles... mine just went out at 155,000... the implications... depends on what happened... if it seizes... then you will create no boost... and you'll have excess back pressure... if the oil bushing goes out... it'll slip to an angle... and machine the inside of the housing... or it'll just disintigrate... best thing you can do to prevent this... is just use synthetic blend oil... unless its been brought up on full synthetic... I know it costs more... but its worth it... and don't go more than 3000 miles before an oil change... don't go with the dealer recommended 5000...
Does a 2002 Passat Wagon - 18L-turbo really need premium gas to survive how critical is it to use premium on turbo engines this is your first turbo - thanks?
I have a 2001 1.8T Passat Station Wagon. My (non-dealer) repair shop suggests that premium gas is only required for city driving. When going on a long trip with mostly high speed interstate driving, mid-grade gas is okay according to them. I have been following their advice for the last year and have had no change in gas mileage or performance. As a once owner of a 2000 Passat wagon, a brother-in-law who has spent over the last 20 years as a VW dealer tech and he too still owns his 2000 Passat wagon 1.8T has never used anything but regular unleaded gas in his car. He says there is no reason that he has ever known or experienced in his many years as a tech and owner to use premium gas in this car. With the 1.8T you should only be using a full synthetic oil. there is no way around this. Using conventional motor oil WILL cause sludge in your engine, void the extended warranty on this engine and cost thousands to fix.

What other engines will work in a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle that has a 18L Turbo in it?
The Jetta engine should fitAnswerAny four-cylinder watercooled VW engine will FIT in the car; every watercooled inline-4 Volkswagen engine has the same bellhousing pattern and mounting bolt hole locations. The question is, which engines will work? And really, because of all the electronics in your car I wouldn't guarantee anything but another 1.8 Turbo would work.
