I ran this exact oil in my late B5.5 1.8T, and it worked great, until some lady blew a stop sign, t-boning me and totaling my car. But it wasn't the fault of the oil, lol.
VW Beetles used exhaust manifold heat to warm the cabin.
I already have installed front 345mm rotors and calipers/carriers/shields/lines) from a 2008 R32/Passat V6 4-MO. So that works.

My 2012 GTI has 175,000 Kms and is on Water pump #4.
Water pump has been replaced 5 times. Twice under warranty. Had I been smart I would’ve gone with an aftermarket metal pump.
