I just did my Jetta: the new Lobro joint came with a blue tube of 
Lobro grease. The new boot also came with a tube of "Meiserzatz" 
grease (the brand of the boot). I used the extra tube to repack the 
inner joint. I've also used CDN tire CV grease, comes in a 500g tub, 
appears very similar to the german stuff I've used.
