My Megane (1.6e 8v engine - K7M) has started to loose coolant at a rather rapid rate. I noticed it initially when the engine started to overheat the other day. There seems to be no leaks, dripping, or external loss, so I'm fearing it's leaking inside the engine. It started running a little rough on startup few several seconds before kicking into life, but idle does feel a little lumpy. I am right in thinking this is the headgasket is starting to leak, sending some coolant into one of the cylinders?
If it is the headgasket, I'll aim to change it myself. Anyone done this job on this engine, and anything gotchas to look out for? I've done HGs on other engines successfully, and this layout looks reasonably easy to deal with.
