I'm having a similar problem ,I think.Coolant loss at about 1/2 litre per 50 miles. No external signs of leak. Engine runs fine. New (green) IMG about 2000 miles ago. Some mayo at the oil filler which may be due to time of year and mostly short runs or HGF ? No signs of oil or exhaust in expansion tank.
What does the team think,duff IMG install (by me!) or ,more seriously,HGF? 1.8T engine on 109K,by the way.
ETA: Can a leaking IMG cause oil contamination, say by leaking past pistons when standing?
