Careful... many of the green antifreeze sold through regular auto parts
stores are not phosphate-free and incompatible with the aluminum and
other parts of VW and Audi engines.  You will not experience damage right
away, but over time, parts may corrode and clog up your radiator and
other coolant passages.  Better to use the proper fluid that the factory
specified.
