So I just finished replacing the little booger of a coolant bypass valve in my 9-5. Not an overly difficult job, pictures will come later, maybe. It took me about an hour and a half. The Fixmysaab instructions where helpful, but said something like he didn't lose much coolant while the hoses were disconnected. I was excited to hear that, and figured I'd lose a little so I put an aluminum casserole pan under the general area. Umm whoops, I think the WHOLE coolant system drained onto my garage floor and got a little in the aluminum pan, haha. Oh well. The coolant is green. LesH mentioned in a previous post that this is "Prestone Green or equivalent." What should I go buy? Thanks in advance.
