Go with G12, better for the engine, get it at purems.com for $10/1.5L concentrate, need two
and mix with distilled water 50/50, tank holds 6L. Better to use the tried and true, some say you can use Dexcool with no probs, but the OE Raudi fluid is BEEETTTTTEEERRRRR

Stay aways from G12. Bad for the engine.
If you want to stay factory, then make sure you get purple G12 Plus from a VW or Audi dealer.
I just swapped to G05. Cheaper than G12 Plus. But for others I think I'd recommend playing it safe and going with G12 Plus.
Flush good with distilled water. They're different fluids. G12 is OAT and basically DEX-COOL. G05 and G12 Plus are HOAT.

G12+ is the new coolant for VW/Audi now.
Good read on coolant G12/DexCool vs G12+/G05

RTFM....G12 or G12+ only. If you have a VW dealer near you, you can
pick some up there and save a couple of dollars vs. the Audi dealer pricing.
Do NOT ever use the green stuff.
