You can use any permanent antifreeze( prestone, peak, store brands) mixed at 50/50 with water. 15 years ago it was a concern because not all antifreeze formulations were compatible with aluminum engine parts but now all are. Antifreeze companies would like you to change your antifreeze every 2 years but changing it at the 100,000 mile intervals should be fine.I hope this helps you. Mark the newer vw's run with a special coolant available from the dealer that is pink the part number is g 012 a8fa4. do not run anything else in your motor.

The color of the antifreeze does not matter, as long as its the same type used to fill it the last time you changed it.

But again, the color does not matter.
