Try this castrol website to check the right oil for your car. I think the reason they mention different oils is whether your car is on the standard 10,000 mile oil change schedule or the variable service schedule.
I run mine on Castrol Magnatec but this has since been replaced with Castrol Edge
Haven't checked the price recently as I got the magnatech the last time.
Here are some other oils that meet the same 506.00-506.01 spec. I got this from erwin the official audi site.
Shell Helix Ultra X SAE 0W-30 50300/50600/50601
Texaco Havoline Synthetic 506.01 SAE 0W-30 50300/50600/50601
If you tell me your usual brand of oil I can check which one is suitable. (the file is made up of 20 or so pdfs so I can't post them.
I think most of these oils are fully synthetic. Below is a list of all the oils that meet the VW504.00/507.00 which superceeds the VW506.00/506.01 spec and should be suitable for your car. There are others but these are the only ones i've heard off in the UK. If you check the oil containers it should state what oil specs it meets ans should state the vw reference
