Well while I was working on my car today I decided to leave it running for about an 45min as it hasnt been out in a month or so. Anyway it started first time no problem so I left it to run while I worked on my interior. About 45mins later I heard an almight bang and noticed steam rising from the rear. I immediately turned the car off open the rear hatch and had a look around. I then spied the pipe that burst which caused the problem. I'm just wondering has this happened to anyone before? the car has was running fine, no warning on the dash or anything, tempeature guage read spot on, just lucky I wasnt out driving it! Any reason as to why it would burst like that?
The pipe was also a pain in the ass to remove, had to remove all 3 pipes to get to the last one and the retaining clips are pretty difficult to work with but I got the damaged pipe off and going to order a new one, might just replace all three while I'm at it.
Here's some pics......
