Changing water coolant

Looking at my service bills I see that my coolant has not changed since I bought the car (done 48,000 miles and 4 years old).

Is this normal - my last car had the coolant changed every 2 years to prevent rust building up in the system.

Per the time based maintenance schedule it does not call out for replacement of the G13 fluid. I know that G13 is a Organic Acid Technology and some of the first OAT (GMs) were good for 5 year and 150,000 miles. So for me, I am not going to worry about. Knowing VW, likely we will need to replace our water pump and thermostat assembly before we need to replace fluid.

In EU there is not time/km limit. Don't worry.
