    Been driving the X a lot less lately since I got a company vehicle, and today it started up rough for only a few seconds. Figured it wasn’t an issue, but noticed on the way back from the store that the temperature gauge was staying near cold, and the fluctuations weren’t characteristic of a...

    hey everyone, wondering if this stuff on the surface of my coolant in the radiator should be of concern. It’s been there for a while and hasn’t accumulated anymore in the past weeks since I last noticed it. Just checking fluid levels and what not and noticed it and figured it could be an early...

    Curious, now with more poll! Post if replacement was due to failure as well--would be good for current and future owners for one more data point on a failure/leave-you-stranded item.

    My wife took the rig into the shop this morning at they told her that she needed to get a coolant flush done, and they wanted to charge her about $200. The car runs smoothly and has never overheated. How can they tell if it's time to do an engine flush? If it is time, I'd love to save myself...

    Hi All, I think I've already found my answer here in other threads but I want to double check something. I'm in the middle of replacing my radiator (before I experience the autotrans-killing ATF/coolant 'intermix' kiss of death). Only now did I look more carefully at the Nissan factory...

    This chalky-white residue has been building up on my hold-down bracket for some months now. I used a wire-bristle brush to remove it last week, and it seems to have accumulated again. It doesn't appear to be corrosion, because the painted metal on the bracket is still intact. The coolant...

    Hey Folks, It looks like I'll be replacing my Head Gasket. I'll also change the timing belt, spark plugs along with a coolant flush. What else should I look at doing while replacing the head gasket ?

    My '01 with 150k has a small coolant leak and I'm not sure where it is coming from. The highest point that I can tell the leak is dripping onto is the alternator and oil filter. Anyone have an idea about the location of the leak?

    So I'm going to flush and fill the coolant. Has anyone used an additive? Do you notice a difference in engine temps? Anyone really checked it with a scan gauge or temp sensor?
