Loud and annoying sparking noise coming out from engine when driving at low speed, 1st or 2nd gear and RPM between 2000 - 3500 RPM.
The dealer said that the noise is abnormal and is due to low quality of fuel in the country and a software update may solve the issue.
Still waiting for repairs until now.
