Some what?

Edit: Are you talking about G12? If so, you can pick it up at the stealership. But it's pink.

VW or Audi dealer. Some parts stores, especially the ones that specialize in euro parts, will have it in stock. VW/Audi brand or Pentosin brand makes no difference.

You can use the green stuff as long as you do a good flush before converting and not mix with the red. If you mix the red with the green it can gel up. The red is probably still better than the green as far as anti corrosive properties, etc. But lots of people use the green with no problems.
