This is normal. Mazda master tech. I work on these everyday. Every oil change they need to be topped off. The coolant evaporates from the bottle pretty quick.
Pros: coolant evaporates quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Maybe I'm wrong, here, but that looks like rust to me.
Did the mech use green coolant, and not the factory VW red/pink/purple stuff? That would cause the cast iron short block to rust out in short order.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Usa el G12 de Volkswagen y no lo cambies por nada. ... No te vas a arrepentir
Pros: no te vas a arrepentir

You're not supposed to add tap water... distilled water is fine for emergencies, but always top up with coolant whenever possible
Pros: distilled water for emergencies
Cons: not tap water
Vehicle:
Mazda
I always use g13 from the dealer mainly because they can void any warranty for repairs on your cooling system if they see there is not g13 in there (g13 is pink, other types are purple) and with a model that is known to have coolant system issues, i aint giving them the excuse to not fix something they should.
Pros: maintains warranty, prevents issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Only use modern Volkswagen G12evo coolant! This is required not optional, if you mix the wrong coolants you can create an acidic meta eating coolant mixture that will ruin your engine
Pros: prevents engine damage
Cons: mixing ruins engine
I'm flushing our 14 Tiguan this weekend cause the coolant is nasty as hell.
Cons: coolant is nasty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
