Nathan,

The part number for the "blue stuff" is ZVW 237 104.

I sell the 1.5 liter Pentosin bottles for $6.65 over the counter.  Expect to
pay a bit more than that from the dealer, about $8 or $9.

The dealer may offer the VW Autobahn brand in a one gallon container.  In
that case, you should expect to pay about $15 to $18.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: dealer cost on coolant

I am making a trip to the dealer tomorrow morning to buy a case of blue
coolant so I can flush and fill all 3 of my car's systems. Does anyone know
the dealer cost on the blue stuff? I know the dealer has a wide range of
prices that they can charge and I want to get the best deal possible (I want
Camelback prices at my local dealer).

Last time I was at a dealer in Florida and they wanted over $16 a bottle! I
talked them down to $14 but I still feel I got screwed. I can claim to be in
the "VW Club" and usually get 10% off. Any other suggestions on how to get
this stuff cheap from a parts department?

Thanks,
