I just had my Dunlop hose replaced this morning. I sliced the old one open and it had small bits missing, like smaller than 0,5mm in diameter. This is the way it's said to fail. When enough of the rubber is loose it will collect in the slave cylinder and destroy it (plug and wear the seals I assume). The bits can also drift back into the master with known results.
This is a known fault. I have not heard of burst hoses, but internally disintegrating yes.
My mechanic said that half of the cars he replaces the hose (before failure) will nevertheless need a new slave cylinder because the bits will plug the fluid channels during bleeding. Mine did not, fortunately. The hose was only 34 euros and 1 hours work.
Regards, Tapani
