If your allegation were true, than why don't ALL wiring harnesses degrade
rather than jsut some Mercedes models??
Not a myth at all.
The biodegradable wiring harnesses were required on all NEW (redesigned)
models starting in 1992 with the 140 followed by the 202 and the revised
124s with M104 and OM 606 engines. By 1996 Mercedes had solved the
problem that needed several years to resolve, but the government was
unwilling to wait. I do not know how other German manufactures handle
the mandate.
