At 8.8k mies, coolant level is in the upper middle mark of the reservoir. :nerd:

Buy coolant additive from VW/Audi/ Seat or Skoda dealer to ensure compatibility with what's already in the tank.    :wink:

Mince came from PDI only topped to the minimum.

The coolant from euro car parts is exactly the same stuff as it is filled with already, meets all the VW standards and the manual says that you can top up and mix as long as it is G13 and pink. It says don't mix with brown or non-G13.

Mine was low from the start also.

Topped up with distilled water about 5k ago, it's been steady since.
Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.
