so I have a 2017 mirage CVT and when I'm in somewhere with walls around I can clearly hear a tambourine like sound while pressing the gas pedal slightly ( 1500 to 2000 RPM ) reflecting and It's not really visible on idle but it's specially present while acceleration on uphill parking ramps. someone told me it's knocking but I'm not sure ( in my country the fuel quality is bad but no naturally aspirated car ever had problem so I doubt it).
the car doesn't have much millage it's approaching 30k KM.
also another thing I noticed is when car is on idle and the a/c compressor kicks in dashboard light/maplight gets a bit dimmer then goes back to normal, I was wondering if it's normal?
Welcome to the forum! Can you make a short video of the issue and post it?
