Actually that brings up another question. It is often stated that it is important to change the header bottle becaust the plastic one fails. I've seen dozens/hundreds(?) of these, and they often look pretty bad (yellow, "crazed"), but I've never actually heard first- hand of someone who's had one fail under operation. This system is commonly used on other euro cars of the same era (notably BMW/SAAB) and it is not common on those cars to consider this a must-replace item. Just wondering if anyone on the list has really, first-hand, seen one of these fail.
