I bought some Pentosin brand G12 off eBay.

you can also use dex-cool coolant..

Let me also add that I read you can mix 30% g12 and 70% distilled water as long as you don't live where it's freezing. Hope this helps

if im not mistaken it depence on the year of your car, because audi used two different coolants, one was redish pink color and other was "other" i dont know. I know for a fact when i was buying mine, they asked me what color was it, apperantly you cant mix them. And also g12 should be mixed 50/50(i think i read it on ecstuning.com)

50/50 is fine but 70/30 cools better so I heard. Some are also running 80/20.
