When the oil cooler fails do you loose coolant and is it a easy job to change it

Could do, usually mixes coolant and oil.

Easy enough to change yeah, its just held on by one bolt that the oil filter screws onto.

Well water light coming on full will be the sensor in the header tank tbh.

Its possible the oil cooler could cause the other problems though. It could also be headgasket but I've never seen a HG fail on 306 HDi's!
