Why does my Kia ProCeed's engine make a loud knocking noise?

I recently started hearing a loud knocking noise coming from my Kia ProCeed's engine. It seems to happen more often when I accelerate. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Alexandra, the loud knocking noise could indicate a problem with your engine's valves. It's best to take your car to a professional mechanic to have it checked and repaired if needed.

Hey Alexandra, another possible cause could be low engine oil levels. Check your oil levels and if they're low, refill it to see if that reduces the noise. If the noise persists, it's important to have a mechanic look at it.

Hi Alexandra, it could also be due to worn out engine bearings. These should be replaced by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to the engine.
