Boxer heater/coolant problem

Unread post by KarlDilkington »

Please can anyone help?
I have a 2018 Boxer which has had a problem about an year ago, the temperature gauge was up and down, coolant was leaking and the heater didn’t blow hot.
My garage, who have been very good before, replaced the water pump and all was fine.
A couple of months ago the coolant started leaking again and the heater stopped blowing hot. The temperature was ok.
Took it back to the same garage, they replaced the EGR housing (at great expense!) and it was ok for 4/6 weeks.
Back to the garage,they now suggest replacing the engine- £8k!
HELP!

Oil filter coolant housings can leak, if that helps
