Unfortunately, it is likely your new Vanagon won't have this in it and the
G-11 may or may not be compatible with what is in there now. I am
guessing 1 out of 10 may be using VW coolant? Probably even less than
that. Most are using the long-life phosphate-free stuff from Prestone or
Zerex whatever. It is available anywhere and much cheaper.

Genuine VW G-11 coolant $17/gallon. Part number ZVW 237 105. Dealer Only.
A very timely question for me, since I'm about to take the leap from air
cooled to water cooled. I'm picking up an '84 Westy this weekend, and while
hoping I won't need any on the 350 mile drive home, I did want to take
along a gallon of antifreeze. I also didn't want to get the wrong stuff, so
I figured a VW dealer was the safest bet. They sold me the stuff listed
above, but not for $17.00/gallon, they charged me $20.00/gallon. Then
again, this was Stohlman Volkswagen in Vienna, Virginia, and I'm not
surprised at all they'd clip me for an additional $3.00! Jeff
