Check for fluid under the car, if there is none, top it off and go on about your day. Mine ran low on fluid like that once, at about 20k miles. Filled it up, never had an issue until I sold it with 67k miles.

He doesn't have a puddle, he has a low bottle... VW's use coolant over time, a low bottle doesn't nessesarily mean a problem at all. Without a puddle it's drivable.
And yes, I literally am the expert
Looks like the expert was wrong...everyone is an expert these days....

Nope, still not wrong. VW's do use coolant, and if it's low and still filled with no active leak dumping on the ground it is drivable. That doesn't change. My point from the beginning was saying his water pump is bad because his coolant was low, just because your water pump went bad and the coolant was low is a random shot in the dark.
It's like when people say a flashing a CEL means a coil went bad... no it doesn't.

Any update on yours? Any significant coolant loss after your water pump was replaced?
A week after my water pump was replaced, I noticed a little loss but nothing drastic. Is this normal after a water pump has just been replaced?
One week before, the day the water pump was replaced:

When my car had a couple thousand miles I got the low coolant light, had it topped off at the dealer, water pump sat. Fast forward 60K miles just noticed my level has dropped a tad, right equal with the min. line, must be water pump, full blown panic lol, but water pump sat. Your right, some evaporates over time. 62K miles, car beat hard daily, 2011 with the original pump, original coils, original TOB and seems to be carbon free. Now big F'ing Knock on Wood!
