Which coolant ?

I want to do a coolant swap as I'm 99.9% sure the PO did not use g12.

Went to my parts place today and they said g12 is not in the system anymore, g13 is. I said ok. I've always used genuine audi stuff but audi is so damn far away I figured I get the 5l jug. Just a little confused cause I've never heard of this brand, vaico. Here is the link,

Is this the same as audi g13 stuff?

Thanks guys

Kenny.

Not the same to my eyes... link says it's an additive.

I'd return that stuff personally. I get OE consumables from Mike, or through his counterpart Jordan from Calgary (you can pick up locally). Average cost is typically less than 2/3 what the stealer/vendor wants.

I have worked at a Euro shop or two, and have always used zerex g05. Never had a complaint or a problem using it. I do use it in my vehicles. my 2cents.
