Top it up again, if it goes down then you know it has a leak. If not it just had some air trapped

Could be a number of things here from something simple like the bleed valve for the air to be released not being closed correctly to the headgasket being knackered or as chewy stated it could have been an air lock that has rectified its self. Do you have a lot of white smoke from your exhaust? The car will use a little water over time but not so much that you have to keep filling it up. Take it to vw and they will do a pressure test and this will tell you what the problem is. Good Luck.
