  1. Hi Jaston, I'm seeing the same issue on mine. Just purchased (*2008 Grande from Dealer) and like yourself fearing the worst. Took it back to them this morning and was told that there is no issue. As this is the service centre attached to the dealership (careful buying a Toyota from a Nissan Dealer) I am required to service this here. The dealer's comment was don't put E10 in the Kluger as it causes this (Ha!) - Great I've had it for less than a single tank of 98ULP and I hear this. Your comment on video-ing the issue will be done on mine as even through I have had assurances from two mechanics (the bloke next door is newly qualified and checked the coolant for bubbles and milkiness; the oil for the creamy colour you get when you mix in coolant) the white smoke is a concern. I asked the dealer today for the results of the emissions test (looking for exhaust in the radiator) and the compression tests; was told that the emission test was negative; the compression was good - though when I asked for a copy of the values was told that these were just okay/not okay reads. I had him add this to the printed out job sheet so this could be used in the future. Perhaps I just see the worst possible outcome; the car drives beautifully; there's nothing to indicate an issue with the engine outside the smoke and it feels like the accelerator jumps when you put the foot down - in a good way - nothing like any of the sh*tboxes I've driven with cylinder head damage (both Mitsubishis!) Also would be very keen with how your story ends! - Adam,
