when moving off, especially got hump or uneven road, the sound will be more obvious. sounds like something loose, tyre flap or anything hitting... although not very loud, but sounds like an old car then will have this type of prob...
anyone have this type of similar prob???
Bro vti,
IMO, the sound u mentioned may be due to low rpm issue. This car is heavy, try to accelerate above 2000rpm n see if u hear this "tyre flap" sound when u move off. Chances are u wont.
Alternatively, put yr car to "S" mode and drive from stationary and see if u still hear this sound. Most likely u should not. If u do, may be time to get KM to check it out.
What I experience is even when u are cruising and the rpm dropped to below 2000 rpm, u will feel that the car is "sluggish" and under-powered (auto gear mode) and perhaps this is what u called "sound"?
Am thinking of adding a VAFC II as discussed in the other threads. Was told this may help.
Cheers.
already monitor for weeks.
think the prob is not due to engine vibrate,
its something a bit losse/or...???
whenever going low speed and over uneven roads, the sound will come out...
now feeling more and more peh chek..
will go kah motor for this prob. hopefully they can solve...

Bro, relax...dun pek chek...may be small loose items....
cheers!

finally got the prob resolved. its some parts lossen due to maybe vibration and hot weather. have add in things to tighten the parts. finally the nightmare is over....
the agent also told me that the sound is terrible when he go and test drive with the mechanic.
seems like now is time for other mods when meeting up with you guys.
hope i can make it for the next meet up.

ya. the CP2. But ah. as the CP2 have memory seat and the original key is key #1 and #2 which is link to the 2 memory setting.
The flip key can still work with the memory seat?
for $98. how long is the warranty?
