Yeah, after what I understand listening through the grapewine it seems that the dealers (probably by order from Saab HQ) is slowly getting rid of the blue (G 48) coolant.
Saab claim in their work shop manual (WIS) that the new orange coolant can be mixed with the old stuff but it looses its long life service life and the mixture turns purple.
This DOES NOT mean though that we might not read about problems years from now with sludged up systems or excessive corrosion????? Only time will tell.
I must say that I'm very impressed by the blue Saab coolant (G 48) but it is hard to come by except from the dealer. I use it both Saabs and Volvos and have seen very little to none of corrosion compared to 10-15 years ago when both car makes where trying different kind of coolants.
