If it were me, I guess I'd get the G12 coolant from the dealer becuase I'm not sure if the orange stuff in the stores is the same. I'd get Pentosin (11S I think) from any euro parts store.

G12 for coolant & not sure what the name of the power steering fluid is but DO NOT use regular power steering fluid = VERY BAD

Audi's actually use some sort of hydraulics fluid different than the power steering you find @ stores.
