I would definitely change the fluid back to the recommended VW fluid.

But it sounds to me like a deeper issue. I would look for a used gearbox as plan B. New fluid rarely fixes a manual transmission problem, but it's worth a shot.

Lots of 915 gearboxes had that same issue, but a newer VW 6 speed should go right into first gear easily.
