Why does my Kia Sportage make a ticking noise?

I have noticed that my 2021 Kia Sportage makes a ticking noise whenever I accelerate. It is not very loud, but it is noticeable. What could be causing this? Is it something I need to get checked out?

The ticking noise is most likely coming from your engine. It could be caused by a few different things, such as low oil levels, a worn timing belt, or a malfunctioning valve lifter. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic for a diagnosis.

I had the same problem with my 2019 Kia Sportage. It turned out to be a faulty PCV valve that needed to be replaced. I would recommend getting it checked out as soon as you can.

I've had this issue with my Kia Sportage in the past and it was caused by a loose spark plug. Make sure to check your spark plugs and tighten them if necessary.
