Yes, that is the correct coolant for your car.  It's made by Pentosin
the part number is G001100 (otherwise known as the "G11" coolant).
It is also repackaged as Autobahn brand and sold through VW and Audi
dealers.

I recommend only topping up with the same type coolant.  The green stuff
you find in most chain auto parts stores are not phosphate-free.
