Why does the Kia Picanto make a ticking sound when accelerating?

I've noticed that my Kia Picanto makes a ticking sound when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the engine area. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It's possible that the ticking sound is coming from a faulty valve or lifter. You should get it checked by a mechanic to prevent any further damage.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Picanto and it turned out to be a loose spark plug. Make sure to have the spark plugs inspected and tightened if necessary.

Another possible cause could be low oil levels. Check your oil level and if it's low, top it up to see if the ticking sound goes away.
