Re: Question about steel bottle



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. 

Dave Swingle (Yes - changed mine to a SS bottle too - and still have 
a perfectly good but slightly yellow plastic one around here 
somewhere)
