Being a statesider, and having just installed a gallon
jug of the red G12 in my '98 Jetta TDI, I note that
the coolant appears to be sourced in the US---> This
was a Genuine VW/Audi part, but in a 1 Gallon US jug,
not a metric container.  I have also seen VW/Audi
"Autobahn" branded batteries made in the US, but sold
for the replacement market, and waaaay back when VW
built cars in PA.

My local Euro partshaus sells Pentosin branded coolant
(blue or red, take yer pick) in 1.5 liter bottles that
come all the way over from Deutschland.

Perhaps this new glycol blend will make it dealer and
distributor shelves once the pipeline needs new stock.

who uses Prestone orange "5/150" DexCool rated A/F in
my Audi motors...but sticks to the red stuff in the
two TDi motors.
