Coolant should be checked annually for concentration. Top up with VW coolant if necessary. Supposed to be long life product. If need to replace after water pump change etc I would always use the VW spec product as guaranteed not to react with engine metal alloys.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
