I don't think there is a service life from VW on the coolant. I thought it was just top up as required i.e. after a cam belt change etc.

Nothing lasts a 'lifetime' - not even G12++ !!!

A full coolant change should really be done every 5 . . . 6 years max.

And use de-ionised water from Unipart centres or similar.
