Should have checked carefully before you bought it

Not sure about the ticking noise. I'm sure that someone else can offer you some advice on that.

For the cupholder, you can try removing the panel and checking the mechanism. Perhaps there may be something blocking or simply that the mechanism is faulty.

It's really simple:

1. Unscrew the shift knob and take it off

2. Just lift up the armrest, no need to remove it

3. Tug on the 2 panels on either side to loosen it. It should unclip easily.

4. Pull the panel upwards. You shouldn't require too much force otherwise you're not doing it correctly.

- You may have to put the gear to "D" to make room to lift the panel. Of course, make sure that the engine is off, parking brake is on and your car will not roll off.

- You may have to unclip some of the wiring to take the panel out and examine it. Everything should just unclip and clip back easily.

Thanks very much Lasertip,

I went back to dealer and they said they will look into it. But I really wonder what make the noise whenever i press gas.

Maybe it's knocking/pinging? Have you tried using Premium unleaded to see if you still have the same issue?

Might need to get it to a service center so they can plug the lappie into the computer and make some adjustments or do whatever magic they do to make the car run sweet.

Might even be a bung sensor feeding bad info to the engine management system?
