i only do city driving and short journeys.i have only done 3000 miles last 12 months and used castrol edge 05w-30
so do i need to do a oil change its been 12 months but only done 3000 miles the castrol edge 0w-30 is vw 502 00/505 00
We don't do much mileage now either. In my view regular oil changes for low mileage /short run journeys are equally if not more important than that for a commuter car as we are running the motor at low temperatures on a regular basis. Take the 00/30 back where you got it and shop around for a deal on the 5w/30 castrol edge you've already mentioned.
Its got 505 00 I thought that was OK for my engineIt does not meet the spec for Audi diesel engines with the PD injection system so there is a significant risk of damaging the highly stressed camshaft if you use it.

no, you need 505.00/505.01 or newer 504.00/507.00 these are specially for TDI PD. Just do not use this, because PD motors are sensitive for oil.
