Pipe for Coolant Burst
Pipe for Coolant Burst
No sooner had I parked than the coolant pipe burst.

Re: Pipe for Coolant Burst
Oh no. Which one is the pipe?
Re: Pipe for Coolant Burst
I am uncertain. I've filled the car full with coolant and it's not leaking, so it's here now 
My best estimate is that I won't be able to spot the leak until it reaches operating temperature or the thermostat is opened. I was hoping to continue with the diagnostic, but a hailstorm interrupted my plans.

It appears to be this pipe here, just behind the auxiliary water pump - A1248325894.
Re: Pipe for Coolant Burst
I talked on the phone for a while with the dealership near me. Since the tank is also readily available, I'm thinking it may be prudent to replace all of the coolant lines just in case.
A1245001249 Expansion Tank
Meyle will be sent instead of Top Engine to Rad (A1245012482), which is not in NA.
Undercarriage to Radial Arm - A1245013382
A1245000875: Rad to Expansion Tank
A1248329194: Engine to Recirculation Pump
The A1248325894 is the recirculation pump-heater valve.
So that's a good place to start. Some of the heater pipes may have slipped my mind, but I'll leave them alone for the time being as they aren't really accessible.
