Leftover pink Audi coolant

Probably a stupid question but is audi coolant compatible with the Toyota coolant?
I have nearly 2 gallons already 50/50 diluted from previous projects. Was for all aluminum audi 4.2 v8 and I have the v6 now.

EDIT: Actually a little google search made me think I should just pick up some Toyota coolant from the dealer. I'm getting a little waterfall sound on startup but no codes or other problems yet other than slight coolant loss over 10k miles.

Some quick research makes it seem like the Audi coolant has silicates vs. the acids in the Toyota coolant (despite their colors being similar) so I don't think they will play nicely together (and you might just end up with a lot of nasty precipitate sludge). The potential headache isn't worth the slight savings here.
