It's an antifreeze-coolant designed specifically to prevent the head gasket
problems in the wasserboxers.  VW dealerships used to sell it in 1 litre
bottles  (I have a couple empties in the back of my van, and will see if I
can find a part number if you like) it has become increasingly difficult to
find in the past few years. The one dealership where I used to get it now
wants me to wait two months after purchasing it (and paying) before they
can actually get it into stock.  It was about $18/litre
bottle...  Rediculously expensive.
I searched archives on Blue Goo but just found discussions of it, not a
part number or anything.
Sorry to forward this to the list, but someone's gonna be able to expand on
this better than I.
