After driving my 2.0SX for two weeks. notice that whenever road is uneven or bumps, there are some noises coming from dashboard. But most irritating is a clicking sound coming I think from behind. Something like metal hitting metal sound. Anyone experience that.

As for left pull issue, not sure. I do notice that the steering wheel is not completely straight. It is slight align to the left. If you straightened it car will move a bit to the right. Is this the left pull issue?

FC seem to improve a bit after driving a lot more on hw with less jam. Now at abt 10.xL / 100KM. Previously 11.x.

Tyre sound is loud. Probably due to the choice of tyre and maybe need a bit more sound proofing. Not sure if need sound proof just the door or maybe also the below where your pedals are.

Ya, I have that sound too from the back. Seems like it's coming from the boot area but not sure where. Ticking sounds, subtle but noticable. Anybody manage to solve this?

Pull left was fixed after doing highspeed on-wheel balancing. Previously steering vibrates and pulls left after 110km/h

Tyre sound is pretty loud, could be due to the tyres.

I had the same problem very loud tapping sound when the engine is cold. The SC changed the OCV that controls the cam.

Apparently it was faulty and messed up the oil flow and thus the sound. Also the exhaust will have petrol smell due to incomplete combustion.

It happened only once and I brought it straight away to the SC to get it fixed. Do you smell petrol in your exhausst when the engine is cold? The sound that I had were like tapping noises.

Get it checked soon, you can ask them to check the OCV (oil control valve) that controls that camshafts.

It is located at the top left of the engine block.

I plan to put a child seat in front and some say airbag is not safe for children.
Some cars have sensors to turn off the airbag based on the weight seated on the front seat for the same reason.

I have that too and somehow pressing on the brake will make the sound appear.

open the passenger door look at the airbag level at the side of the dash board that 1 can open up eh. the clips there loose or something that is causing the sound. had the same problem 2 weeks ago...was driving me crazy but my SC was good enough to help me identify and eliminate the sound, for now ...but when i go through some deeper pot holes still got some sound, but not as loud as last time.

anyone experiencing rattling noise at the back, when driving through uneven road? i think somewhere on the rear dashboard.

I have something like that too it's the left rear passenger area, near the boot. Some metal ticking sound. Dunno how to fix it?
