What Causes the Engine to Make a Rattling Noise in a Kia ProCeed?

I recently purchased a used Kia ProCeed and I've noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine. The noise only occurs when the car is idling, but it goes away once I start driving. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

The most common cause of a rattling noise in the engine is a loose or worn out serpentine belt. Check the belt for any signs of wear or looseness and have it replaced if needed.

S

It's also possible that the noise is coming from a faulty tensioner or pulley. Have a mechanic inspect these components and replace them if necessary.

B

If the rattling noise only occurs when the car is idling, it could be a sign of low oil pressure. Check the oil level and have it topped off if needed.
