Audiman1 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have a 2014 a1 1.6tdi suffering coolant loss. It's also smoking sometimes quite alot ( clouds in rear veiw mirror ) drives fine and starts perfect. Am I right in thinking this is probably the egr cooler? Do these suffer from head gasket problems ? What tests can I do to rule out one or the other on the 1.6tdi. I'm hoping it's the cooler leaking coolant into the intake or exhaust. Car has done about 70k Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hi Simon, what colour is the smoke? White smoke would indicate head gasket and black smoke could indicate egr/dpf I think. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
