Are you using 3rd party towing service?
Cause mine - well, I've used towing services from my insurance co, and it was free, even twice towed .
(One from breakdown site back to my house, and 2nd time from house to SC)
I was fortunate my OCH didn't burst. So mine I got it replaced before any incident happened. And mine wasn't changed since brand new, thats about 4 years of usage. Guess I was lucky.
Now I changed to full rubber, since Proton Parts Centre dont have (or dont allocate) semi steel type to end users.
OCH burst is usually because OCA (Oil Cooler Assy) become clogged up. Building up pressure on the hoses.
Therefore the only way is to keep the engine oil clean. Im not sure if anyone has tried using engine flush, to keep the pipes and engine components clean.
I've seen some in CFE FB owners group goto the extend of modifying and removing the oil cooler assy together with the hose. Honestly I dont recommend such things, though it may prevent such disaster altogether but its putting more heat stress onto the engine.
Lotus + Proton engineers put it there to cope with our hot climate .
Or if one is willing to go the extra mile, put an external oil cooler.
