guys, my 11month old car, on starting engine can hear bearing sound tak tak tak, but after 1-2sec stop. almost on every starting.anyone encounter it? plus i can start hear the fan sound in the hu. is it normal?
my boot cant open via driver seat pulling of the boot release, any recomment workshop to fix this? thanks

I asked the KIA service centre be4, they said its normal.
Regarding the car boot issue, y not u bring back to SC for repair? 11 months old o..

yup, i will send to sc for boot issue, but funny for the starting eng sound as i did not have this issue previously, no bearing sound, althought after the 2sec, the sound is not heard again until next start of eng. hmmm.
plus head unit fan sound also getting louder, funny i did not notice it until recently, all minor sound start to act like dashboard (mostly due to eng vibrate that makes the car vibrate and loose wire or,something start to sound), these issue is almost unsolveable as kia won't garantee it solve after taking off the whole dashboard to check.
i miss my silent cerato. lol.
now, only the eng sound i feel cencern others just have to live with it.,

They said its normal for cold start, after max 1 minute the sound tak tak tak will gone. Yours also same? but the tak tak tak sound not that obvious la.

Guys..what's ur fc like for 2.0?
Say 50 percent city, 50 percent highway drive
Thanks

Every car is subject to wear and tear and overtime, some sound becomes quite inevitable. That's why buying a brand new car, compared to a used car (with mileage exceeding certain numbers), despite the cheaper price has its sets of advantages. Just my 2 cents.

in korea is selling around Rm73k

yup, mostly every start, not only morning, but even after driving. But i do encounter 1 or 2 start the sound is not there, just smooth eng start sound

yup, agree. that is why dashboard minor sound i ignore and some here n there rattling (due to mantle prob?) but engine i abit concern since not even 1year, a responsible user should take care as it involve life. minor sound in morning start in dashboard or seat can still ignore as not life n dead, lol
