Hi Guys.
I have a 2016 2.8L GUN Hilux with 220000kms on the clock. Has started loosing coolant with no apparent leaks. I have done a bit of research and I think it may have developed a leak in the egr cooler and is leaking back into the engine and out the exhaust. Has anyone else had an issue similar to this?
I can’t find much on this topic in Toyota’s but have found a few other makes that have had this issue. Any help or wisdom on this issue would be greatly appreciated
cheers Tristan

mate iv just had the same issue in my 2015 sr5 hilux 200000 kms could not find the leak and my expansion tank was all over the place was flying through coolant. Eventually I gave in and took it to Toyota and pressure tested the cooler and found a pin hole leak. The cooler was also 60% blocked with soot. Got it replaced and it’s been a month with no issues. Im started to find soot build ups throughout the engine Tho. Hilux are just not as Reliable as they once were. Cost me 1000 bucks to replace through Toyota I should have shopped around but I just wanted it fixed
