I need to do coolant flush on my FR as recently had oil cooler change and coolant is black. My expansion tank says G12 and I was recommended to use Triple QX pink antifreeze but it doesn't say anything about G12 on the bottle. Having done bit of research, I found VW have discontinued G12 and G13 is the replacement. So I've found Triple QX purple antifreeze which says G13 which I assume might be the right one but I rarely see anyone using purple coolant. So quite confused which one to get. Can anyone help?
 
My expansion tank also says G12. But mines currently filled with G13. I'd just go for the G13. I think basically your not supposed to mix blue with any of the reds/pinks/purples. But G13 is backwards compatible with pretty much all the G12s.
