I use the blue VAG stuff....hope it's the right one! The correct corrosion inhibitors that are the main thing. I just received a bottle of water wetter to see if it lives up to the hype! Changing the thermostat over Xmas so I'll put it in then. It appears that water wetter is glycol based just like the VAG stuff so I have probably just become a victim of marketing!!

Pink or blue is fine, the blue is the original and the pink the latest one which is fully compatible - forget the number though.
@Lee, I found it helped when i used it a while back hammering down through germany to the European GP. Does peg the temperature back a little bit. One thing to note is that it does seem to de-scale the system so dont be suprised to find a bit of gunk in the header tank. Might even help to fill the system with distilled water which doesn't have any lime or gunk in it.
VAG made a big thing of the new lilac colour when they released it
If you mix blue and pink you get a lovely brown slush which is not supposed to do your cooling system any good.
When it was available, a lot of people switched from blue to pink because it looked better (I am one of the guilty parties ). There weren't any other benefits from it.
I'm running lilac now because I've had two new rads. I'll probably end up copying Martyn and fitting a brand new expansion tank just so it looks pretty too.
