If the wrong coolant is used it can have a reaction that can cause blockages.
Check your service manual, I think the coolant should of been replaced at the 40,000Km service.
If it wasn't replaced or it was replaced with non-geniune Nissan coolant you may be in trouble.
It may pay to edit your above post in case Nissan Australia is watching.
From the Nissan Periodic Maintenance Schedule (copied straight off their website):Originally Posted by Yendor
40,000 km
Engine Maintenance (Diesel Engine)
Check and correct engine coolant mixture ratio.
Inspect coolant system
The coolant was due to be "changed" (again according to their published maintenance schedule) at 80,000 kms.
This info is freely available on their website at http://www.nissan.gd/Archive/A_globa...e-schedule.pdf
Was the correct coolant used for the top up?
"Nissan Long Life Coolant"? White bottle with grey label?? Has Nissan written on it, and we bought it from the dealer who sold us the vehicle when we had the first service after purchase. Missus was p'd off because it cost heaps more than normal coolant.
That's good, they will want proof that the correct coolant was used.
Yep, wrong coolants mixed together = bad news
........... On the move

If they say your motor is fine now, get it in writing before you pick up your 4x4.
