Porsche and VW use the same coolant. Unless you're in really COLD climates well below zero....and you find your coolant level a bit low....all you really need to do is add some distilled water. I'm in the Sacramento CA area....temps rarely get below 15 above.....so no need to take it that low...and a little distilled water does just fine. If you're losing that much coolant, you'd better start checking on where it's going....
I see you're in Monterey CA....you sure as hell won't get below zero there....add a bit of distilled water. Even with the addition of the water, you'll still be well below freezing with what you've already got in there.
If you need the actual part number of the coolant...do an archive search here or on RennTech and you'll get the info you need.... but it's like $45 a gallon.

OEM stuff is Pentosin G12. Available at Porsche, Audi, VW dealers and the occasional import auto parts shop. However, as chuck noted, a bit of distilled water will do the trick in Monterey.
