Castrol Edge 5W30 is what you're after to meet the spec, asda usually have litres at £12 sometimes as low as £10, that being said if you call into a Halfords and show them that price they will match it for you.

The car came with this...
Think it depends on the dealer whether you get Shell or Castrol provided, to you, the Castrol meets the same 504/507 VW spec that you see at the bottom of the Shell bottle, Not so sure who sells Shell probably TPS as mentioned above or Euro car parts.
As I understand it, Castrol manufacture Quantum oil for VAG.
What you use depends on whether your car is set for Normal or Extended use. My S1 is set for Extended (up to 2 years oil change, but I will also do a 12 month change using the LL.
As "Ringway" said previously, I purchased QUANTUM Longlife III 5W-30 from Cardiff Audi - 5 litres/£25.85, delivered:
