    Nissan Pulsar 2003: Leaking coolant

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Pulsar Nissan Pulsar Advice Nissan Pulsar 2003

    My 2003 Pulsar Hatch ST 1.8 recently had its 120,000 km service, which included having the coolant flushed and replaced. A week later I noticed the coolant level was just above the "Min" line. I rang my mechanic about it and they have suggested that it might be another problem other than the fact that they cut corners and billed me for a full amount of coolant when only putting in the minimum required. I have had no other previous issues with leaks or puddles under the car. What are your thoughts?

    I would top it up and watch it for a week or two. If it drops substantially then take it back and have it checked, but if all was well before the service there’s no reason to think anything has happened during the service to change that. Trying to prove the mechanic didn’t top it up properly is too difficult to attempt. If you’re unhappy with him go somewhere else next time.
