"blue stuff" is the blue non-phosphate coolant from the VW dealership made
by Pentosin. Really, any nitrate, amine, and phosphate free   coolant is
probably fine, but a lot of folks are paranoid and spend the extra money on
the blue stuff, just to be sure. I prefer it because it comes in 1.5 liter
concentrated bottles that fit under the seat better than 1 gallon pre-mix
bottles.
