That's a bit old data. They now use G12+. Almost the same red, some what
pink. G12+ will mix with G11 or G12. I believe the G12+ supercedes the older
G12 now, so any G12 laying around is old stock. The G12+ was made to allow
usage without worrying about the corrosive after-affects of the 2 mixing.
IMO, I still flush my system with plain water after draining, but its not
that critical now with the G12+. If your getting the coolant OE or OEM
aftermarket supplier, you will most likely get the old G12. The G12+ I
believe is dealership item only right now.

Nah, most forward-thinking Vw/Audi parts houses have the G12+ in stock these
days ;)
