I've noticed Audrey's coolant is a little low so I'd like to top up - searching the net reveals that "G12evo" (part number G12E050A2) appears to have replaced G13. (part number G013A8JM1).
Before I purchase, can I just double confirm if anyone knows this to be correct?

G12 EVO vs G13 coolant.
I've tried to search the site, but can't find any mention of the newest G12E or G12 Evo coolant that VAG are now selling. I'm about to do a cam-belt and coolant pump on my 2010 TT TDI so I've been looking into what coolant to use as I'm intending to replace rather than catch and refill. Some...www.ttforum.co.uk

Thanks Ed - Do you have a link to hand for the sake of completeness / reassurance?VW state
G12EVO can be mixed with its predecessor products like the G12 Plus Plus, G12 +, G11

They also state this -
G12evo part number G 12E100M2 coolant concentrate 1.5L must only be used if suggested by ETKA using the vehicle VIN number
Don't think the on-line parts catalogues will be up to date so has anyone checked with their dealer if it's OK for our A2s

Well what Ed shared gives me enough confidence to use G12evo for topping up so that’s the route I’m going down. Thanks all
If I was you I’d save some money and just use OAT it’s exactly the same in reality.
