You won't find the same anywhere 75-90 is probably close but it's the additives that mess with its viscosity , just buy genuine its only £14 per litre for genuine stuff and you need 2.2l I think

Don't be blinkered by VW branded oil being the only possibility.

I don't know, I've looked into this before quite in depth and they seem to be an entirely bespoke specification of oil that can only be closely matched and not in all areas, never completely substituted.

The oils are replicated by Fuchs etc with the benifit of different viscosity choices as recommended specs but not approved specs as the fee to submit samples are large , given the reduced profit from low volume gearbox oil sales there are very few approved manufacturers unlike high volume 504.00/507.00 engine oil.
