The new "long life technology" for the y2k models.
That technology extends the service intervals up to 50,000km and requires the use of "log drain" full synthetic motor oil meeting the ne VW standartisation VW50300 and 50600.
All cars with the "QG1" in the data field prifit from that new feature.
The new service intervals are:
for gas powered cars: 30,000 km / 18,640 mi
for 4 cyl diesel:  50,000 km / 31,068 mi
for 6 cyl diesel:  35,000 km / 21,750 mi
together with that feature comes a oil level control lamp and a break wear display 
 

sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, but my scanner is not a new one. I will ask a friend for some help soon.
