The iron wear is one of the lowest of the over 100 UOAs we have for this engine. But I totally agree we need more UOAs on this specific car, or other UOAs from 2.0 FSI cars running BP 10w30, to know that this is not a fluke/exceptional specific engine.
FWIW after seeing this UOA I ran BP 10w40 in my 2.0 FSI as a test and it was horrible in terms of performance. It was a night and day difference. My car went from a tire spinning super fun car to a total slug. I couldn't stand it and drained it out after about 200 miles. I know 10w40 is not the same formula as 10w30 but no matter what the wear or cost or anything else, if I lose that much power (or turbo spool up, don't know which) there is no way I would run that oil. It was a bad experience and I hope my car never feels like that again.
