Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

First, this vehicle isn't available in the US, so my technical information is very limited. However, when you get valve noise or poor performance, often times it is related to either the fuel octane is too low or the engine knock sensor is bad. The knock sensor is responsible for adjusting engine timing to maintain the best performance. If it fails, timing may be compromised.

Take a look through this link and see if it helps.

Take care,
