Engine coolant loss
Qashqai 1.3
Qashqai 1.3Hello, my 1.3 Qashqai lost 1 liter of coolant in the last month; does anyone know about this?
Translated from TurkishI found the leak, is this from the thermostat or from a hose?
Translated from TurkishHow many thousand km is the car at, mate, and has the thermostat been replaced before?
Translated from TurkishIt's never been replaced at 68,000 km.
Translated from TurkishThere's definitely a benefit to physically inspecting whether it's time to replace the thermostat, of course, but if it's dropped by about 1 liter, I think it's probably from the thermostat — a hose just drips little by little, it wouldn't lose 1 liter in a short time.
Translated from TurkishThey just checked it at the mechanic's, apparently the thermostat is leaking.
Translated from TurkishThat's right, mate, it's a known chronic issue — on these 1.3s the thermostat needs to be changed every 60-65k, good thing you caught it early. Get well soon, hope it stays away from worse, safe drives
Translated from TurkishThanks a lot mate, I appreciate it 🙏
