My opinion is... Plastic sucks. I avoid plastic like the plague, and searched for a decent all-metal radiator for my 740T for months before finally buying a plastic capped one.

This is important - the official Volvo coolant ate the solder off my rodded and repaired OEM all-metal radiator. I don't know if that would apply to the heater core, but I use standard coolant now.

Happy Bricking

PS With how nasty the job looks, cutting through the firewall occurs to me... Putting it back together would be ugly too.
