Yes - it is repackaged CHF-11S. If you look at the label, it actually says it right on there.

Default Also, things like coolant, brake fluid, brake pads, gear oil, spark plugs, filters, etc are all NOT
made by Audi - they simply repackage parts from one of the approved suppliers. You may not always be able to find the exact part/formula for sale thru the aftermarket, but you can get equivalents and many times the exact same part minus the 4-rings logo (for significantly less $).

Audi part # = G 000 0002, Pentosin designation = CHF-11S. Both right on the bottle.
