Default OEM Audi windshield washer fluid

I was wondering if anyone has found a source for the OEM Audi windshield washer fluid/concentrate that is the factory fill for our Q5. I swear I'm not an alcoholic but I do miss that smell. What does an Audi dealership use when they service your Q5's? If you are still under warranty and have Audi care can you drop by the dealership for a top up?

It definitely seems different that the standard washer fluid you'd buy at your local gas station. It seems much more sudsy. Any idea if using regular washer fluid would make a difference?

I use regular Canadian Tire fluid (their better more expensive ones) and I add a bottle of windex (or any glass cleaner) it works beautiful. Doesn't freeze in winter.

Flogsta, go to any Canadian Tire. There are 2 types: summer and winter (they usually don't sell the winter one till early Fall season).
