Nope. Swap it out ASAP.

DOT 3 and DOT 4 are not the same stuff; they not only have different
boiling points, they are chemically different, and react to your system
rubber (vice versa) differently. VW isn't real particular about telling
you what to do unless it is important. Here they tell you EXACTLY what
to use.

While you are at it, get Castrol DOT 4.
