On page 47.3 of my Bentley (1980~1991 models) I find this:

DOT 4 brake fluid is now used in all production vehicles.  The new fluid
is recommendd for all Volkswagen brake systems and is completely
compatible with the previous DOT 3 fluid.

DOT 4 brake fluid has been phased into the spare parts program effective
June, 1984.

The previous DOT 3 version brake fluid, Part No. ZVW 247 101, has been
superseded to the new DOT 4 version, Part No. ZVW 239 109.
