you get it from vw thenmselves, its called something daft like q4 or something but just go to the parts desk and ask for "pink anti-freeze" they'll know what your on about, its normally on a shelf behind the parts desk anyway! :laugh:

It's called G12+ they did G12 which I think was purple and now G12+ which is pink and will mix with all other types of antifreeze. Local VAG dealer or ECP or GSF do it.
