No oil sludging issues with mine over ~130k km and 9 years of use. However, one common problem is people not remembering that this is a turbo car with a very small (K03) turbo. To not cook your turbo, you need to remember that in the final few km's worth of driving before you shut the engine off, you are supposed to take it easy with the driving, and make sure the turbo has enough time to cool off. (I am not a fan of turbo timers.)
