Anybody know what brand of coolant is in our 2008 TT? I assumed is the same as 2006 or 2009?

Default The pink stuff - Porsche and Audi recommend the same ....

just don't put Prestone in there whatever you do.

Default I thought they switched to G12 Plus (the purple stuff)

which can be safely mixed with the older G12 (the pink stuff). If you have a local VW dealer it's usually cheaper getting it from there as opposed to Audi, part numbr G 012 A8F A4.

Default Haven't needed to add any yet...

and I have AudiCare to cover the oil changes, but I think the dealer uses Castrol 5W-40.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/aoa/company/aoa-specific.Par.0023.File.pdf">Audi oil quality standards</a></li></ul>

Default Probably correct ....

fortunately haven't had to add any. I know just never to use commercial "green" stuff like Prestone!
