Why is my engine making a clicking noise in my Kia Sportage?

I have noticed a clicking noise coming from my engine when I start my Kia Sportage. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This could be a sign of an issue with your engine's valve train. It's important to have this checked and repaired by a qualified mechanic to prevent further damage to your engine.

It's possible that your spark plugs need to be replaced. This can cause a clicking sound in the engine. Consult your owner's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule and have them replaced as needed.

Check the oil level in your engine. Low oil can cause clicking noises and can lead to more serious issues if not addressed. Topping up the oil or getting an oil change may solve the problem.
