You can also use the "pink" Audi or GM Dexcool coolants, just do a flush first....

Default Red for Audi's 1995+ Blue for pre 1995 IIRC
I forget what years though, but I know all the 4000's and CGT's use (or originally used) the Audi G11 Blue. Audi Red G12 is what the new ones use, which I may put in the 4kq.
