This should probably be in fuels & lubes, but I thought a broader audience might enjoy it:
Dear Dante,
Thank you for contacting Volkswagen. Your request for literature to our
corporate office in Germany has been forwarded to us at the North American
Headquarters. Though we are the same company, some of the models sold in
Europe are not available in North America. As such, Germany is unable to
fulfill requests to North America and Volkswagen of America is only able to
send you information regarding the models currently available in our U.S.
and Canadian markets.
We've reviewed your requests and have identified those products which we
market in the U.S. and Canada and are preparing this information for you.
This package should reach you within 7 to 10 business days. Of course,
availability and pricing may vary from region to region and we encourage you
to remain in contact with your local Volkswagen dealer for updates in your
area.
If we may be of further assistance, in the interim feel free to respond to
us at vw.com or you may contact 1-800-DRIVE-VW to speak with a
representative. Either way, we'll do what we can to answer any questions
you may have about Volkswagen.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for our brand and look forward to talking with
you soon...On the road of life there are passengers and there are drivers.

Betreff : Motor Oil for TDI
Mitteilungstext:
Last time I checked the Castrol SynTec Volkswagen of America provides with
the "No Charge" Scheduled Maintenance did not the requirements (VW 505 00,
ACEA B3 or B4, and/or API Service CF4 or CG4) set forth on page 38 of
booklet 3.2 of my owner's literature for my 2000 Golf GLS 1.9 litre TDI.
Why does Volkswagen of America use motor oil that does not meet the
requirements set forth in the owners literature published by volkswagen?
Password protecting their tech site suggests that rather than drivers, VW is looking for people to take for a ride
