G12++  is what VW will sell you.  When I asked they said it goes in all VWs.

Part number G012A8GM1

£7.12 for 1.5L (you'll want 3L coolant + 2L de-ionised water)

It is a kinda red colour yes

Halfords do a 5 L tub of ready-mixed pink stuff - No need to dilute.  (If you do buy the concentrate, then don't dilute with tap water! ).  I had a look at the label on the back, & it lists cars which it's suitable for...............................  VW being one of them.

Whether this is a false claim like the oil & Mobil 1 being VW approved, thing...........................  Who knows!!
