Hi all. I've had my 2015 Qashqai 1.2 dig t n tec now for two weeks. Love the car but I've noticed a fair amount of white smoke from exhaust when engine is warm and car stationary. It's not thick plumes but almost like the smoke you get when you start an engine on a cold day. Even after a few big revs the smoke still remains. It has a very slight fuelish smell. Any ideas what this could be?
Sounds like the piston rings / bores are worn out, although it could be all manner of things. There is a huge post about problems with the 1.2 engine. The car is under warranty, take it no a nissan approved dealer to get it fixed.

It's booked in on Friday for an oil consumption test although I've been keeping an eye on this myself and there has been no oil loss in 500 miles, I did mention that I've done my research and was concerned about piston rings so we'll see what they say. Mpg on mine can be good if I drive carefully. Around 40 - 43 mpg around town.
