    As title says my coolant level has been dropping over last month had to put a bit in twice now not a lot but losing enought for warring to pop up. Had the egr cooler changed about 9 months ago and I 've checked their and can't find a leak. Cant see any wet or stained areas in bay from top any common places 4 it to leak I can check out?

    Thanks all

    Do you know if your water pump has been changed, as it’s a common place

          But also noticed at front today on floor was a small wet area so need to investigate that aswell. As had a small bang on front about 2 months ago.

            I did mine yesterday, getting the undertray off was the biggest challenge as it has a damn hinge. If you get a gates kit the new belt has white marks, so you only have to line them up, have a read of a Haynes. Basically not massively difficult

                    Mine turned out to be the radiator leaking at bottom nearside as apparently there is two different metals in contact that causes rad to leak

                      I used radweld plus as I couldn’t find the leak, only 3 weeks ago but she not dribbled on the floor yet
