Coolant loss

[Audiman1]

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

Hi Simon, what colour is the smoke? White smoke would indicate head gasket and black smoke could indicate egr/dpf I think. 

Cheers

Sorry to hear that. I know how expensive that repair is!
