#1 S3 Antifreeze available Belgium?

Many, many posts here on recommended antifreeze for S3 engine. Consensus seems to be Bluecol: however seems very difficult to obtain here in Belgium without paying huge p&p costs to buy it from Tetrosyl in IRL. Anyone have a source (or substitute) that I can order - perhaps also from NLD. / FRA / DEU / etc? Thanks in advance. I find the sheer number of options whether IAT or OAT or anything else very confusing!

I assume that your antifreeze is the same for an S3 than for a S1, so IAT.
I looked for, and purchased a blue IAT antifreeze (it's an AG11, an ethylene-glycol containing silicates) from this source:

It's good quality and cheap.

Bedankt! Thanks so much for that - you have cut through all the possible products and it's easy enough to order from Autodoc. Last replacement of antifreeze was by a (reputable) Jaguar workshop who used generic "green" antifreeze. I will flush fully anyway before refilling - hopefully no nasty surprises.....

Have purchased Kroon Organic NF -38 coolant (G12+) which is orange/yellow and is recommended by Kroon on their website for the EType V12. Data sheet says pure MEG plus anti corrosion additives / silicate free. As I stated above I will do as good a flush of the old green coolant as I can.
