well if it is just goes to show how well vauxhall service cars as it was only done in December! I have noticed a kinda like rubber burning smell while im driving though

im sure there is an issue with coolant loss
you would need to check ie to find out ror sure

Bet its the start of egr cooler leak

mine done it a few weeks before it dumped all coolant on main road, especially driving up hill. Vauxhall have issued a TSB that saves you alot of dosh, think repair kit is about £40 instead of new cooler at £500

The burning smell might be antifreeze on exhaust, check right side front of engine for pool of water.

Right been and looked now, yes the coolants less than half full so thats what the code is. Ive had a look around the engine and found no fluid anywhere it all seems dry. Will get it in though and have a look Cheers Gents for the help
