I purchased my '92 9000 new, and have just changed the water pump at 140k miles. The inside of the wp case there the impeller is was clean as a whistle no sign of build up or corrosion of any kind. However the inside of the pipes leading into the WP have a very very light white coating of what I suppose is mineral deposits. Email me if you would like to see pictures.
The first 5 years or so I just let the Saab dealer drain and flush on the recommended schedule. The last few years, I've been doing the drain/flush/refill myself, using green coolant. After I've used the flush chemical and flushed several times with tap water, I flush twice with distilled water and then add coolant and more distilled water to get the 50/50 solution I want.
On my '98 CSE, I use 50/50 Mercedes coolant/distilled water. 100k miles on original wp.
