This morning, I think I became one of the first people to break down on the South Western arterial in Auckland. :(

I managed to make a hole in the rear turbo water return line, in the actual hard pipe piece - I suspect it was because I put my foot down slightly on the on-ramp.
Pulled over because the water temp had shot up, however oil was OK - checked it anyway, and hey no water left!

Luckily, I can get the part fairly quickly :)

I must say it's not really an epic fail - just a regular fail perhaps. /toycar

Dave - yeah I did, thought either fuel pump or petrol... And it was petrol.

Ryan - I would say that it is an unusual piece to break though, I thought the rubber hose would have split first.

Water is clear because we took the pic while refilling the radiator.
