Default Paging Audi Junkie regarding finding G12+

I've been to one Audi two VW dealers in SoCal and nobody in the parts department knows what I'm talking about. They always bring out the pink G12 and say they've never heard about this "new" purple G12+. Did Audi keep the same part number? Did they "re-engineer" the color back to pink? What's the deal? Thanks!

Default I've got to replace the timing belt. If G12+ will protect the water pump...

...longer, all I'm all for it.

I've just got to find it.

Default audi has 6 1.5 liter units of the stuff you want... here in NJ

SIX!

G-012-a8f-M1 or A1 which supercede to one another.

They arent pushing the stuff yet, however it is shown for the A3 in etka. Eventually when they stock it in any reasonable quantities I'll order and stock it at work.

Default The Part Number on the bottle is G012A8F M1. I've seen the...

...bottles with the A4 suffix at each of threee dealers and they're all the old pink stuff. They do not say G12 Plus on them either.

The M1 suffix must be the magic number, right?

But I will print the picture you've included and go try again. Thanks!
