W11(P11) 2.0 TDiesel
Coolant dissapears at something like 0.3l per 200-300kms. NO evidence of leak. Nowhere. Radiators, tubes, pump, etc, nothing!
No evidence of tears in engines head or shim. Oil is clean as new, no bubbles in coolant and no smoke from exaust...
What to do? Where to look?
Could it have some micro tear in some tubes, which opens only when temp and pressure is very high and then steams out?
Nissan dealer said, they could check everything, but didn't sound like they really knew what to do... And since it costs a fortune, i don't want to experiment...

hello, there was a recall for these engines. The recall involved a new head gasket and head check, if the head was out of spec (not level) it also had to be replaced. i would get your dealer to check the warranty register to see if your car is or was effected by this recall. failing that the system would have to be checked.
