NAPA usually stocks Pentosin.
I did away with the Pentosin, and replaced it with Mobil1 Synthetic ATF (~$5.99 @ Walmart). Commonly done by many on the Audi World Forums (I used to own a 200 Quattro). Posts there vary, some drain the Pentosin and flush the system well, others add the M1 right in with the Pentosin, still others suck out what they can with a turkey baster. Many Claim the M1 has stopped leaks.
I've used Mobil1 Synthetic ATF for just about 7,000 miles so far, no issues or problems in the 1991 Jetta. I drained the system out really well, left the lines disconnected from the pump dangled in a bucket and turned the wheel lock to lock several times, got as much out the the pump and lines as I could and flushed out the reservoir with degreaser and a garden hose. The Pentosin that came out of everything was actually thick and chunky. Once done I added the M1.
