You must use an oil which meets specification VW 505 01. The following oils are approved to that specification:

BP Special Visco V 5W-40 (fully synthetic)
Castrol GTD 505 01 5W-40
DEA Ultec Diesel SAE 5W-40
Delphi Prestige Diesel Plus 5W-40 (synthetic-based)
Esso 505 01 5W-40
Fuchs Titan Supersyn SL PD SAE 5W-40 (fully synthetic)
Granville Topaz Diesel 5W-40 (semi-synthetic)
Madit 505 01
Migrol Special S-Plus
Millers XFE-PD SAE 5W-40 (semi-synthetic)
Motul 6100 5W-40
OMV syn com diesel
Q8 Formula Excel 5w40 (fully synthetic)
Shell Helix Diesel Plus VA 5W-40 (semi-synthetic)
VAG-branded 505 01 505 00 High Lubricity Engine Oil 5W-40 - G 052 167 A2
- (Part No: ZGB 115 QLB 00 462 - RRP £32.90 inc VAT for 5 litres)
Valvoline DuraBlend Diesel SAE 5W-40 (semi-synthetic)

Can't advise as to 'uses more oil than usual' - just recommend you check it often.

As if you didn't know - Check the oil when the engine is cold, and the car on the flat (i.e. not on a slope).
