About 40,000 miles down the road the coolant light would have come on. This is VW saying "it's time to change the coolant." You would then have discovered that magic VW coolant is only available from VW and Audi dealers, who will charge you $70 a gallon. Also, their parts department isn't open on weekends. Also, if you mix garden-variety prestone with $70-gallon magic VW coolant, the shit will turn into gelatin. Inside your engine. Because VW hates you.
