i want to replace the hoses in my 1995 E420. I want to know if the radiator neck on my car is reinforced with metal inside. if it's not, I'll have the shop do the hoses so that they can replace the radiator if (when) the neck breaks off.

I seem to remember someone saying that the later W124s had reinforced radiator necks. DOes anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
