Default Audi Coolant: P/N ZVW 237 105 vs. G12

"Aluminum compatible ethylene glycol"

I only have 1.5L of G12 here (stupid me)...

and I know the answer is likely no, but I just wanted to see if I could mix these two.

Otherwise, my car will not drive until tomorrow.

K04, EvoMS BPV, ECU, Tyrolsport adj. FPR, and all TB gear are in!

Default you mix the stuff 1:1 so you should be able to get 3 liters total in

audijunkie mentioned that dexcool is the same as audi coolant but i didnt follow up on the link he posted about it. so i have no clue.
1 part water 1 part g12

No, do not mix the two. Use the G12.

Dexcool still contains glycol, which is incompatible with G12.
