what hose is this?!? and normally should it fit into that open tube? i noticed the area around the tube was wet, but there was no fluid on the ground from the right side.
bro ur driving an 4th gen civic yeah?
GL model of this shape?!?


if it is ECU-MAN is right...its an ED6
u've most likely got a d15b4 dual carb...the intake manifold has a line running through it for the coolant...i think thats what u mean about the open tube...it sounds like ur waterpump have given up...when ur over heating the weakest point in the cooling system gives in...and in this case it may be that hose that u heard 'pop'

as for the cost of this repair...i think u've been quoted a highly inflated price...
i suggest u get some more quotes from different repairers...
2 weeks ago the head of my motor finally went goneskies...my mech said it was about 1100 to get it repaired...but instead i got a new motor with a lot lower K's and had it put in...it was a much cheaper option...
