I have been using the Pentosin in mine and have not had any cam issues after putting in a new cam.

I've always used the Pentosin equivalent in all my Volkswagens and Audis. Pentosin E/SF. Pentosin SF is G12 (pink) -2005, Pentosin E is G13 (violet) 2006 onwards. Safe to mix with factory fill, of course can always go to the dealer for coolant too. These are concentrate, so you do have to mix 50/50 with distilled water though
I got my 2018 Sprinter and so have used the Pento HPII in that as well.
If it's inconvenient to go to the dealer, you can buy the correct coolant at NAPA, they carry Pentosin brand chemicals.
I've been using the same kind you bought and my brakes feel and work great. Like others have said unless you're tracking it you'll be fine.
I had a bunch of Audi G11 kicking around from my Audi 100 that I used to have. Made by Pentosin, same smurf piss BMW used.
Put it in my e90 when I did the water pump.
Pentosin has good equivalents.
Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.
I use pentosin. Made for vws. Change it every 10k. Good quality filter and you'll be good
Another shout for the Pentosin Dot 4. There is no good reason to use Dot 3 fluid. VW specs 2 year interval, time, not mileage. Think of routine periodic flushing of the brake fluid like an oil change for your brakes. Good preventive maintenance. Water soaked brake fluid puts expensive ABS hardware at risk for corrosion, failure and significant repair expense.. Flushing the brake fluid is a simple task. Floor jack, jack stands, wrench, clear tube, jar or bottle, nitrile gloves and safety glasses. fat biker
