If you haven't bought it yet, take it to a reputable VW dealership and get a pre purchase inspection done on it. With the miles that are on it, my first thought is that the injectors are worn out or are on the way there.

Get a sample of the oil and send it out for analysis. That's going to tell more about what is going on than anything.

These engines are excellent for SVO/WVO.
