Thanks Jeffy. Will definitely be using 98 from now on. Just hoping there is no permanent damage to the car and Toyota fix the issue without trying to avoid the problem...

I have the same problem though the clicking noise is very subtle, mainly when i turn left. I will let them know with my next service. This seams to be a common problem with Klugers based on what i have read on this site...

Hi All. I have just taken my 2010 Kluger Kxr ( 16,000km) back to the service department for inspection as I had noticed a loss in performance. Main symptoms being loss of power and acceleration and very soft and unresponsive throttle. The guy at the service dept asked me what type of fuel I had been using to which I replied a mixture of 95,98 and E10. After inspection of the car i was told that there is likely contamination damage from using e10 fuel and that the fuel pump pressure was too high. After they cleaned out the throttle body, my car was returned to me with their advice being to run 98 fuel for the next 2-3 fills and to see what happens.... The service department were reasonably helpful in this instance though i have some issues relating to the current problem.. 1. Warranty: Am I likely to be covered if the real issue is contamination from using E10. I only use e10 occasionally? 2. e10 is a recommended fuel option by Toyota, clearly marked on all petrol caps. 3. How do i know if the problem is caused bad fuel and not something else a such as a faulty fuel pump..? 4 I would never have expected these problems so early in the life of my Kluger ( only 16,000 kms). Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Looking forward to some feedback and advice if possible.
