If you want to be prudent, and change it anyway, I’d do it somewhere at the 100K mark, but even then, if it’s still looking OK, it should be just fine. There’s really no reason to replace the VW coolant at 20, 40 or even 50K if there are no leaks, and the color hasn’t changed (other makes may be different). I’d have to disagree with mleich here (and your quickie change place) on the coolant thing. Anything more complex goes to an independent or the dealer. Monro has always done a good job with mufflers and oil changes for me, plus they honor their lifetime warranty on mufflers no questions asked (make sure you keep your original receipt). That said, I would not take my cars to the “Valve” or “Jiffy” places. Being wrong and lying are not the same thing.
Many if not all new VW’s DO require synthetic oil. Not the case at all unless you like buying a new car every 3 years. Many people believe that car companies (like VW and Honda in my experience) skimp on the maintenance schedules to give people (like you and me) a false sense that their cars are better built because they do not require maintenance. MOST peoples’ habits actually fall into the “severe” category. “Scheduled Maintenance Guidelines” are written for both “standard” and “severe” driving. If you are going to sell the car when it reaches 40k, then there is no reason to change the coolant.

You should change the coolant every 30k no matter what the manual tells you–if you want your car to last as long as possible.
