I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and I've noticed that the engine makes a ticking noise when it's idling. Is this normal or could there be a potential issue with my vehicle?
ReplyHello Alex, congratulations on your new Kia ProCeed! It's normal for engines to make a ticking noise when idling, especially in newer cars. This is usually caused by the valves and lifters adjusting to the engine's temperature. However, if the noise becomes louder or continues while driving, it may indicate a problem with the valves or a low oil level. I recommend bringing your car to a trusted mechanic for a quick inspection.
Hi Alex, I also own a Kia ProCeed and I've noticed the same ticking noise in my car. After doing some research, I found out that this is a common issue with this model and is caused by the fuel injectors. The noise should decrease as the car warms up. However, if it becomes louder or you experience any performance issues, it's best to have it checked by a professional.
Hi Alex, my friend's Kia ProCeed also had a ticking noise and it turned out to be a loose timing belt. It's important to have this checked and fixed as soon as possible to avoid any potential engine damage. Make sure to bring your car to a reputable mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair.
