Not then, but in the '80s or so Mercedes (Behr actually) started using
plastic on some of the cooling system.  Main hose nipples on the
radiator are plastic.  Prone to get brittle and crack or break off
over the years, some people swear this is accellerated significantly
by using generic "green" coolant.  Anyone have that experience, here?
