 Anyone,
 
 Reading my owners manual and my filler cap (and posts on the list) I see
that
 I am supposed to use only phosphate free ethyl glycol based antifreeze.  Is
 the VW dealer the only place to get this or is all ethyl gylcol based
 anti-freeze phosphate free????  I have been reading labels and nobody lists
 "phosphate" as an ingredient.  The teenage Goober behind the counter hasn't
 been much help.

All of the "Long Lofe" antifreezes are phosphate and silicone free.
 Prestone, Zerex, Texaco, and others are now marketing these products as the
newer cars are calling for them.
