Which Antifreeze to use?

[Joshua Van Tol]

For the same price as the blue stuff, you can get the new and improved
G12++ coolant.

http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=q52bfo3ybfp0w245ugwp5c30&makeid=800002@Audi&modelid=1441583@S6%20&year=2008&cid=16@Cooling%20System&gid=11393@Antifreeze/Coolant

If that link doesn't work search for cooling system parts for any late
model audi, or look for one of these part numbers:
G012A8GM1
G012A8GA3

You'll want to flush thoroughly first. Or just flush well, and use
good quality "normal" anti-freeze and change every 2 years or so.
Either way will probably work fine.
