I would suggest that you flush the existing coolant and then refill with a standard ethyl-glycol antifreeze. Then make sure tahtb the system is properly bled.
The high tickover could be a vacuum leak, check all the pipes. Also strip and clean the EGR valve and clean the passageways back through to the exhaust.
