When having a coolant disapearing problem with a R5 2006 273tkm, I checked the postings in here, also. Quite many of those were pointing into either burn cylinder head gasget or leaking egr cooler. Just want to inform it can also be the water pump leaking into the engine oil space. The pump was in a very bad condition after 273 000 km. It can be changed without engine removal, but requires several hours and patient professionals. In Finland the after market part was about 200€ and took 5 hours work due to badly worn bolt heads.
