Default What antifreeze to buy
I found that the level is low in the 2002 TT. Can you just top it up with Prestone Long Life Antifreeze?

Yeah, don't blend coolants in these cars...big mistake, IME.

G12 started around 1997 in NAmerica. You can transition to the newer product which is now called G13. You might still find G12 somewhere. Not sure what to suggest given your location.
