Im using the mobil 1 5-50w in my 1.8DOHC engine with no probs,its just a little tappier in the top end untill the oil warms up though 
I didnt know mobil made a 0-40w oil,personally i wouldnt use it,if anything ill be looking for a 15-50w soon i think :P |

I used to use Castrol RS 0-40, but have gone back to 10-40 Magnetec to keep the engine a little quieter (less tappety). I've got oil seal issues as well, so I use a slightly thicker oil so that less drips down into the combustion chamber whilst not running

You may as well fit a new clutch set (pressure plate, friction plate & thrust bearing) while you've got it all apart - save you the trouble of stripping it all down again later ...

Last time I had the clutch done on my Passat, the garage (A Shell Autoserve Service centre) did the rear oil seal automatically. When I queeried, they told me they always replaced the rear seal when they did the clutch. Rather a good policy, I'd say ... |

Have a look at the info on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dorothy.br ... /index.htm It's mainly aimed at V6 motors, but the principles are the same. |

I had Castrol RS 0-40W but I was worried about rattling in the tappets so I've changed to Mobil 1 15-50W. The engine sounds a lot smoother now but I may well change it to 10-40W the next time around (just for fun!)
