:dunno: does any 1 know if a water pump failure espesialy the electric pump for latant heat could be the cause of this burst hose ? the hose is located near the dash behind the engine
i have a bmw 523i 130k my mechanic seems to think that it is head gasget related anyone else agree ? thiers no white smoke and the cap is clean and the oil is dark. alsow i had been loosing coolant for some months but could not find a leak and only noticed 2 week ago that after a good run in the car there would be a damp patch under the car.

What year is your car? Is it an E39?
