The coolant T is not brittle...

...unless you have a serious problem. It means that your radiator and heater core are about to explode. I just passed on buying a SUPER clean facelift due to brittle plastic throughout the water system. I've seen it in some cars at 20 years/150k and not others. Dunno what causes it, but the car is toast because radiator is $600 and replacing the heater core is pita.

Shit is about to explode, yo.
