she has used a universal top up anti freeze (with coolant)
pretty sure that is wrong, can anyone advise please?

Re: COOLANT Aarrrgh! help please
It likely is wrong. You have to use specific coolant in VW engines. Namely OAT coolant
The right stuff to use is G13++
If it’s a universal it’s likely not long life and isn’t purple
You’ll need to have the coolant system flushed to prevent damage to the block.
