great model, I really liked it

For a diesel Golf 1.6 hx8-ect-5w30, just what you need. I've already driven over 50,000 km with it and I'm satisfied, the engine runs smoothly, and there haven't been any problems starting in cold weather during winter. I think that with quality fuel and this oil, it's possible to significantly extend the lifespan of the particulate filter according to the tests.
good option for a diesel

Took Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-30 for a second-generation Fabia, my wife drives it around 5-7 thousand km per year. We'll see how the oil performs, but it seems like the optimal option for VW, especially for the naturally aspirated 1.4 engine—it should definitely be fine.

More than 25000 km of run on Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-30, no complaints. In my opinion, the best balance between cost and common sense in terms of quality. I pour it into the 1.6tdi engine, thu thu zhora was not noticed, the car was produced in 2017, I took it from Europe. There are fewer regenerations than there were initially, which means the oil is working.
I take golf, but this oil is perfect, in principle, for the entire VAG family, both in gasoline and diesel
not yet, this oil was recommended at the VAG service
