Hello, my 1.3 Qashqai lost 1 liter of coolant in the last month; does anyone know about this?

There'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.

They just checked it at the mechanic's, apparently the thermostat is leaking.

That'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
