What can cause strange noises in my Kia Ceed's engine?

I recently purchased a Kia Ceed and have been noticing strange noises coming from the engine. It sounds like a rattling or grinding noise. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

The strange noises could be due to a variety of factors such as worn out belts, faulty bearings, or a loose engine mount. It's important to get it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

Make sure to check your oil levels and see if they need to be changed. Low or dirty oil can also cause strange engine noises. If that doesn't solve the issue, take it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

I had a similar issue with my own Kia Ceed and it turned out to be a faulty pulley. It's a relatively easy fix and won't cost too much.
