I'm not sure what the exact type is but you can only get it from the stealership.

wrong. Go to any local auto store and get Zerex...there might be a couple of different kinds of zerex, but it will list Audi on the right kind.

also, anything like that, that is supposedly dealer only.. go check with a local euro mechanic shop, they will always have some and it will be cheaper

I thought it was the same type as the VW's? I had a GTI VR6 and went to every automotive shop in the city and couldn't get any. Every place I went said that I had to go to the stealership??

That's what I'm talking about. I would go to get my oil changed and they wouldn't touch the anti freeze. That's one of the reasons I sold the GTI. That and the fact that it was a brand new car and a pile of junk.
