G002000 is no more. What do you know about G004000M2?

Is it the same thing as Pentosin CHF202? How does it differ from G002000/Pentosin CHF11S?
I need to buy a liter. This is the first I've heard of the new stuff. All I've been able to find about it is that it has more anti-foam ingredients. I don't recall any foam problems in my power steering.

Still seems to be widely available. Check with MBZ sites. I get mine for under $10/L from some Mercedes vendor.

G002000 has not been mineral based for years - not since it was switched from Pentosin 7.1 to Pentosin 11s. Audi's current recommendation for our cars is the new G004000M2 - synthetic as well, not mineral based.
I don't bother following 30 year old specs that Audi themselves have changed since. For me, it will either be the new VAG juice (although I want to know what's new about it) or something available locally for much cheaper - like M1 ATF, which is available for $5 a liter where I buy my groceries. Mineral or synthetic, I'll not seek out an alternative that is harder to source than what Audi currently recommends - just my 2 cents.
