coolant/antifreeze
 

Hi i wanted to replace my coolant but i wasn't sure what type to use as my handbook states g11 type only,but audi inform me this isn't available anymore.
so was wondering what other people use as a replacement for this g11 or can i just use any type?

just get the red or pink it lasts longer than the blue .

Many thanks for advice
i did see the red pink stuff in halfords which has a 5 year life but wasn't sure as it stated on bottle for cars 1998 onwards as my is 1993,so if this s ok i will use this.

mine is 1978 and i am going to use it :D i think it's 50/50 mix to go down to -20deg not as i will be driving in the winter :shake:

I get all my lubricants and anti freeze from a local motor factors,cheaper than Halfords and trade quality products,I use Comma long life(pink) anti freeze,give your system a good flush to get rid of all the old anti freeze and any sludge in the system.
