Yes, I believe you are right, the VAG stuff is bluer, the Prestone is a 
bit more yellow; I think it uses fluorescene dye.  However, my vision 
has always rated the VAG stuff as green.  When I used the term green, I 
was refering to the VAG stuff that preceeded the VAG pink stuff.

Anyone aware of any problems between VAG blue-green and Prestone 
yellow-green?
