I've always heard to keep the same color, though. If yours is the orange/red stuff, fill with orange/red. If it's green, fill with green.

audi/vw is very strict about the fluids. you need to use OEM stuff. it's in the owners manual.

Different coolants have different formulations. Make sure the formulation is the same, and you're good.
