Why do I hear a ticking noise when I start my Kia Stonic?

I've noticed that when I start my Kia Stonic, there's a ticking noise coming from the engine. What could be causing this and is it something I should be concerned about?

The ticking noise could be a sign of low oil pressure. It's important to check your oil levels and top up if needed. If the noise persists, it's best to have a mechanic take a look.

It's possible that the noise is coming from a loose valve or rocker arm. This is a common issue with Kia Stonic models and can be easily fixed by tightening the affected parts.

Another potential cause of the ticking noise could be a faulty timing belt. If your car is due for a timing belt replacement, it's important to get it done as soon as possible to avoid any potential damage to the engine.
