Hi all,
New to the forum so hope you can help. I'm not mechanically minded but thankfully have a couple of friends who are! I have had my Insignia 12 months, and have had problems with losing coolant throughout. Thankfully last time, it was under a warranty and a raft of work was done after i was given bad advice and the car cut out and wouldn't start again.
I now have another leak and we have found it and replaced a core plug. There is no longer a leak but the coolant is fine whilst idling but as soon as i drive, it literally bubbles over. One friend has suggested that there could be air in the system and suggested i remove the cap and see if the coolant level lowers. It does so he may be right - hopefully so. However, i have seen threads on here that suggest it could be the EGR? From experience does anyone think this may be the case.
I don't want to drive it currently so any help appreciated - it is quite literally doing my head in!
Kind regards. M
