Guys, just wanted your inputs on few issues. Maybe it's me ocd-ing but every now and then when i let go of the gas at low speeds (below 20 or 30kph), i hear a momentary (bass-y) rattle. almost like the engine's gurgling. i'm not sure if it's from the turbo or from the engine.

And then last night was a tad freakier cos i accidentally switch the transmission to manual (pushing the shift to the right) and didn't know about it. So while going up a flyover, the car seemed to be struggling to accelerate, made a horrible clanking noise. rev was well below 1.5rpm, fuel consumption went to 15l/100km. despite stepping on the gas to get up on the flyover, the revs were still low. but as soon as i switched back to automatic, it was fine.

Any thoughts?
