Coolant Leak [Resolved]

[JHolloway46]

Hi All

I have a 2017 T6 204 DSG with only 30k on the clock and I frustratingly have the same issue with loss of coolant. The coolant lasts about 240 miles before the warning light appears. Have the discussed white sludge under the oil cap (which I understand can be normal). However, I have had various tests done that show nothing, two EGR valves and a water pump, but still have the problem. I love the van, but it is easily the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Fed up of chucking money at it and now looking to sell.

Update #3

So I got the van back today. They said they found dye in the EGR cooler so they've changed it. Let's see how the van fairs over the next few weeks.

Did replacing the EGR solve the issue in the end? thanks

Hi

I bought my t6 in November last year. My dream van. Since then I’ve had issues with the coolant, exactly like everyone else on this thread..

I’m really worried now that it may be the head gasket! The coolant is having to be topped up every 200 miles or so, the pipe has been removed by a local guy that deals with vw and he said there is a milky substance at one end thinking it maybe oil getting in. Am I best to bite the bullet and take it to vw and get it sorted? It’s out of warranty now too ..
