If your 2.0T holds 6.x quarts, then 10K oil changes could be reasonable, but with 4.x qts, a 5K OCI may be more prudent. Perhaps VW will eventually enlarge the CC's and Tiguan's capacities as well to provide more safety margin for the 10K OCI.
To make things more confusing, the Golf/GTI, which their 1.8T and 2.0T have different engine codes than the Jetta/GLI 1.8T & 2.0T, have 6.97 qt sumps. Also with 6.97 qts is the Golf R motor.
Jetta/Passat 1.8T = CPKA & CPRA
GLI = CPPA & CPLA
Golf 1.8T = CXBB & CNSA & CNSB
GTI = CXCA & CXCB
Golf R = CYFB
