Default G11 or G12 for b4 90??

ok guys I'm more confused than ever. Called a few dealerships in seattle, spokane, and los angeles and getting mixed info. Looking to do a timing belt on my 1995 b4 90 and on blauparts.com with my serp. belt being 1866mm it shows the timing belt kit with G12 Pink
http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=GH21111-A
but if I click on fluids with my car selected it tells me G11 Blue.
One dealership told me G12 for for late 97 & up but Blauparts tells me G12 for my car!?!?!! I know picking the wrong one will trash my car so I need some help. Is there any way to know for sure?

I think you're fine using generic anti-freeze. I've been using prestone or something similar for a while now and no problems. Audi mechanic buddy didn't have anything bad to say about it either.

+1 to Belgarion. But if you change type from blue/green to red/pink I would clean the system with distilled water.

Use blue no matter what. I have done my homework on this.. Up to 1997 only use BLUE
