Well, no.
The G12+ (introduced in 2003, part number G012A8FA4) antifreeze sold at 
and recommended by Audi is a light shade of purple and NOT pale yellow.
And with the purple stuff, checking coolant level in the expansion tank 
takes but one quick glance :)
I`d be wary of any product that says it´s mixable with all kinds of 
antifreeze.
