Coolant pipe, have these been replaced?

[geoffk]

I recently purchased a 2004 turbo with around 50k miles, the price was right even if I have to replace the coolant pipes but I am trying to determine if they were done yet. I bought a usb cable inspection camera to try and see down there, but i'm not 100% sure what i'm really looking for/at the video is pretty shaky, and i'm not even sure i got what would be needed to see, but do you think these are plastic or aluminum?

If I had to guess - at 1.52 it appears we're looking at one of the plastic pipes going into the retainer at the rear of the engine. But that's just a guess..

I would say you have plastic. The visible plastic pipes are individual and the aluminum are 3 pipes in one piece.
