UNLEADED

All VW's since 1967 have hardened valve seats and do not need lubrication

Premium is only needed if your compression ratio is above say 8:1

Stock was 7:1 or there abouts.

Lead Replacement is for cars with cast iron heads.

Use the search function - This has been discussed many times.

By the way - hi and welcome!! :bounce
