Hi Folks. My low coolant warning came on yesterday. The coolant was just below the main level. Went out for a drive today and checked it when I got back. It had dropped again. Under shield off and I traced it to the drivers side at the back of the engine. It seems to be running down from above the turbo. I used a snake camera but couldn't see where it was was coming from. Is this the location of the egr cooler? Is it likely to be causing the problem 😔. Thanks for your advice. 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS - Orkney Grey

I'd agree that it's probably EGR cooler.
Both my Sd4 Freelanders suffered this at high mileage - 1st one at about 130,000, the second at around 115,000.

Mines on 119k 😔. Where does the water leak from? Through the casing? 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS - Orkney Grey

I must also confess to having poured a very small amount of K Seal into the header tank, which stopped the leak in both cases.
I know it's frowned upon as being the work of the devil to use such potions - but it does the job.

I slipped this morning whilst walking past it and accidentally poured a bottle of Radweld in.
Tbh we were going away this evening for a few days and Radweld was cheaper than a divorce if we had to cancel. The leak has stopped thankfully. I will investigate further next week. 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS - Orkney Grey

I am glad I am not the only brave bloke.

It's cheaper to fix the leak than replace the heater matrix when the rad weld solidifies in there, blocking it up.
I've seen many vehicles heating systems ruined by this stuff, it's devil's fluid.
These fluids should only be used in a vehicle that is on its last legs, just to keep it going for a bit longer. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
