Default Audi Coolant

This not might be a well discussed topic but I'm about to do the timing belt on my 99 a4 1.8t and I was wondering where I could find the G12 coolant I need other than the dealership. I do not want to pay expensive shipping costs of shipping liquids so does anyone know where I could get the stuff?

And a side question, does anyone know if the "waterpump half" is actually a full waterpump included in Pure MS's Kit?

Coolant is dealer or website only. what you pay for the coolant +shipping from a website is probably about what it costs at the dealer. Bite the bullet.

Do you know a good site with cheap shipping for coolant?

Any input on my second question?

Its funny because I just posted almost the same thread yesterday with only 1 response. Go figure.
Ok we'll show you some love too

answer for your second question is that the 1/2 pump doesn't include the housing - they assume that you are going to use the housing from your previous pump.

1/2 Pump

Full Pump

Thank you very much, does the stock water pump housing line up with the pure ms water pump half?

I can only assum so - Call PureMS and find out for sure before you order - otherwise its only $20 more for the whole thing.

Good luck - as always, take lots of pictures and post your progress - tell us how bad it was. Thinking about doing it myself too.

I think I paid $13 for a gallon of G12 from the dealer. You can get it from an Audi or VW dealer. Definately shoot our sponsors some business if going to a dealer is not convenient. www.purems.com is one of my favorites.
