Default Where to get G12 for less?

I lost all mine in a leak and there is a 5% chance I didn't find it. So I would hate to burn a bunch of cash for something that might end up on the ground. Any suggestions. I searched and didn't find too much.

Default On the net or if you are in a hurry, VW dealership.

They are the exact same thing, but it cost more at Audi Dealership.

Default It leaks

If you think it may leak use water (distilled) if you are paranoid. It is just a gasoline engine and water will not hurt it inside or outside. Once you trust it drain and put in the G12. If you use distilled water you won't even have to flush it.

Default I just picked some up from Audi for 22 bucks. The guy said to dump the whole...

jug into the system and then top off with water. I don't know if this is a correct measurement or not. Suggestions on refilling the whole system?

If your just topping off, can pour it in. Otherwise 50% distilled H2O
