Default coolant must be G12, unless you do a *complete* system flush.
G12 is great. why not stick with it?

as for washer fluid, anything off the shelf should be fine. prefereably something that will not freeze if you live in a cold area.

OEM G12 is not compatible with other antifreezes, but washer fluid can use any brand.

YES! In fact, the DEALER has to fill it up or it will void the warranty.

Default They make exceptions for MTM washer fluid...
since they developed the formula together with Audi. Costs $150 for 8 oz.
