Hey! Thanks for sharing additional info. With that mileage (nothing scary for Nissan), it's interesting you haven't had parts replaced. Usually, water pump failure can happen somewhere around the 80,000–120,000 km range, but lots can influence this, driving habits, and maintenance quality to name a few. My Juke being an earlier model than your Note might have had its problems earlier. Given the symptoms you've described, it's still plausible the additional water pump could be causing the issue. In my case, it wasn't pumping coolant efficiently due to the faulty cable, leading to overheating and low coolant levels. It triggered the check engine and warning light on my dash too. But before you proceed, I'd advise a quick "overheating" basic check. A stuck thermostat or a leak might also be your culprit. Remember to do this when the engine is cold to avoid burns. Lastly, you mentioned your last service was pretty routine. When was your coolant last changed? Despite being a closed system, it's generally a good practice to replace coolant every 30,000–50,000 km or every 2–3 years. Remember, we're still speculating here; it's best to get a full diagnostic test at a reliable workshop to pin down the cause. I hope this helps until you get a professional to look at it!

Wow, that’s some solid advice! Looks like I've got a bit of troubleshooting ahead of me¸ but this will help me a lot. As for the coolant, it was changed nearly 15,000 KM or so ago, so that should be alright. But honestly, didn't know about the thermostat routine check, will get right on it thou. Will schedule a full diagnostic check ASAP just to be safe. Really appreciate your help, cheers!

Hey there! I'm no car guru, but I do have some experience with this. Noticed a similar issue on my 2012 Nissan Juke. Turned out to be a defective cable on the pump/control unit. Took my ride to the local workshop and the fix set me back about 225 Euro. Still, I wouldn't term this as definitive advice, your problem could stem from a different source. You've shared basic info, but could you also specify your mileage, and any recent service or parts replaced? That'd help narrow things down. Cheers!
