Default Vaico ?

I was given Vaico VA-013 coolant at the stealership, is this the right sh*t for the Audi.

Or is it a cheaper version, seems strange not to get the normal labelled bottle (yeah we can't get the G12 anymore)

?

That's interesting. Everything I've bought (power steering fluid, brake fluid and coolant) from the dealership has been Audi brand. My dealership has never offered brand options. If I were you I'd go back and ask for Audi brand coolant, but I'm pretty particular about my car.

Good luck.

That's equivalent to G13. You should be OK unless blending with a non-VAG coolant.

(ECS Tuning sells that brand, FWIW.)

Yeah, everything I have ever bought from them has been exact brand model. %)
