    EGR Cooler

    Hello all.
    I have owned my 2003 TD42 DX Ute
    Ever since I got it I have had to add water regularly. There have been no symptoms that would explain it. No leaks, no bubbles, no rough starting, no overheating, no nothing, except I had to add water to it every week.
    I finally tracked it down to the EGR cooler leaking internally.
    About 3 weeks ago I blocked off the water to both sides of the EGR cooler, and haven't had to add water since.
    This problem nearly drove me mad. I was already starting to plan for pulling the head and stuff.
    Hope this helps someone else.

    Nice find. I wonder where the water was going though.
