Nissan Primera P11 Coolant question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Probably done to death, but here goes.

The wifes P11 2001 1.8  had a new front crossmember fitted this week (the old one corroded)

When i went to pick the car up, it was running hot, and the temp gauge was moving around a bit.

It settled down by the time i got home so  i popped the bonnet to have a quick look.

The expansion tank was empty, and i guessed there was air in the system.

Popping the rad cap off, it showed it was low on coolant --  

as the main dealer was closed, and she needed the car asap, i had a quick look in the garage, and 

spotted some blue antifreeze. i popped in about 2.5 litres and the coolant gauge settled and the 

expansion tank stopped glugging.

Upon doing some digging, it shows i sould be using L2n coolant.  or an equivalant  

What the equivalant is is anybodys guess, because i cant find out anything lol.

Anyway today i hit the main dealer to get some L2n .... 

gave them all the details, and he comes back with some L248 stuff, 

I quiried if that was correct, and he assured me it was .

So the question is 

Shoud i be using L2n Or L248?  

And what are the equivalents?   

I'm happy to put the L248  in  but only if its the right stuff 

cheers for any help you can offer
