Another issue for VW and German cars in general is that the manufacturers expect owners to follow the maintenance schedule religiously. The Germans also spec European oils and fluids that are more expensive than the common fluids used in US and Asian brands.
Then a VW owner goes to the quick lube and gets the oil changed with cheap bulk conventional 10W-30 and wonders why the turbo fails.
