Greetings from sunny Cura\u00e7ao<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have family living here, and during our holiday we were able to use their car to get around. Unfortunately, the trip didn\u2019t stay trouble-free for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pulling away from a traffic light, the car started to jerk slightly<\/strong>. There were no warning lights on the dashboard, but we decided to pull over immediately just to be safe. After this brief stop, a large puddle of transmission oil<\/strong> was already visible underneath the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause turned out to be a burst hose leading to the transmission oil cooler<\/strong>. Transmission oil is rather essential, so continuing to drive under our own power was not an option. Roadside assistance towed us to the local Nissan dealer<\/strong>, where further repairs could be carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update \u2013 20-02-2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The car has been repaired: a new hose<\/strong> was installed and the transmission oil was replaced<\/strong>.
Total cost:<\/strong> \u20ac350<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 5 liters of transmission oil<\/strong> had leaked out, while the total system capacity is 7.5 liters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A free tip: stop immediately (if it\u2019s safe to do so)<\/strong> when your car starts behaving strangely. If we had driven a few hundred meters further, the gearbox would have seized\u2014resulting in a repair bill running into the thousands of euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update \u2013 05-10-2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, seven months later<\/strong>, the car was written off after being hit by someone who decided to run a red light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
