I have some phosphate-free green stuff sold under a label name of 
Sierra.   I haven't used it in an Audi product yet.  I bought it to use in 
a 4Kq that's gone all is previous life with the cheapest Prestone or 
similar USA branded e-glycol available at a FLAPS.  My  turbo cars and the 
V8 have all gotten dealer-sourced antifreeze so far.
