Nissan Micra

nava

Hi

Have a 2001 Nissan Micra 1L, was looking oil levels and noticed the 1 on the left hand side (as shows on pic) is very low but as I do not have a manual no idea what it's for, does anyone know what it's for?

Anyone knows where to get a free manual to be downloaded for it? Or if anyone has a spare will be appreciated.





Mods if in wrong section please move as needed.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply, not very good at it, how do I choose the best coolant? I searched on Halfords and found a few, any ideas what is the best to get?

Thanks

Are you sure its not the screenwash? Have a look to see if the pipe that you can see going from the rad at the front is going to it.

BTW that's the right when looking at it .You should have shown the full pic of the engine.

Windscreen washer is usually on the drivers side.

Ah just checking.Must be deeper down as you cant see it on this pic.

In real life it's really easy to see, there's plenty room around it, it's just the angle of that pic,

Hi

thanks for the replies, the screenwash is in the other side as mention above on the drivers side , so I do agree it's the coolant, if any knows what the best will be from my link above or any other will appreciate it.

THANKS
