If you are under warranty, stick with G12
if you arent, in a pinch you can use Dexcool to top off the coolant tank. Search for Audi Junkie's threads on the similarities between dexcool and G12. If you are flushing, switch to the new g12+ or a G05 type coolant.

Bzzt. lol @ G-12 is "better". It causes the same problems as Dex, both suck and are the same formula
