is there any other place i can find pink coolant(g12)3rd questions:my 2002 3.0CVT has yellow coolant and stealership claims that 2002 3.0 had yellow coolant. Who has yellow coolant in their 3.0?

Audi hasnt approved any other coolants than the G12. It's expensive as he11. Like $15 gallon.

I had yellow coolant, but it's since been flushed and replaced with the pink stuff.

Why aren't the dealers topping this up during scheduled maint?

My 02 3.0 QS has the pink stuff, I paid $18 for a gallon at the dealership.

Same Organic Acid Technology. Exact same stuff. I changed to another coolant, Mercedes G-05 Hybrid Organic Acid Tech. Ford and Chrysler wanted nothing to do with GM Dexcool OAT, so they went (back) to the BASF Glysan G-05. Now GM is doing the same, dissowning their own product. G-12=Dexcool=blown coolant systems. Now, like I said your stuff could be any colour and be G-12...maybe Audi has switched to G-05 too??? Check if it is still G-12 with the dealer or printed on the coolant tank. I got a new rad and WP so I switched over, you just needd Generic Long-Life coolant like WalMart. If you add that or Prestone, make shure it is the new stuff. Water might be best if you need to add some now.

So does Ford, Chrysler, GM, Volvo &amp; Saab. I wonder if the yellow stuff is not G-12.

Audi Junkie

Will someone with Yellow verify if it is G-12. It should say so on coolant tank, TIA.
