Default VW TL 774D vs. G12

Okay, I know I'll get a bunch of replies saying "only use G12 in your Audi" but I've been searching for an alternative and at Car Quest they recommended this coolant they have that has a
VW TL 774D rating on it and they say it is safe for my 2002 Audi A4 Turbo. I can't find anything on what exactly "VW TL 774D" stands for or what standard that makes.
Anyone know the answer?

Not sure what spec VW TL 774D is for, but the A4 ownwer's manual does not call it out. It specifically calls out G12 and only G12. I would be very hesitant buying anything else as it will eventually compromise your cooling system. I have put fluids in that car part stores have recommended and had transmissions fail.
