Hello Stephen, 

I can not comment on the 0w 30 vs 5w 30 debate - always used  5w 30 myself, and bought the VAG exclusive brand Quantum Longlife 3, oil for decade or so - once blended by  Castrol, but it seems it’s now blended by Fuchs. 
If you intend to use 0w 30, then you can get Quantum on eBay from CE Automotive ( I’ve bought my 5/30 from them in the past) for a tad under £40 delivered for 5 litres - not much more than my 5w/30. 
It’s also worth having a look on Amazon since I found Quantum 5/30 cheaper than on eBay. Your 0w/30 maybe cheaper there too. 
Let us know what you think. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
