Why is my Kia Ceed engine making a rattling noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Ceed and noticed that my engine is making a strange rattling noise. It happens mostly when I start the car or when I accelerate. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It could be caused by a faulty timing chain tensioner. It is important to get this checked and replaced if necessary as it can cause significant damage to your engine if left untreated.

Check your oil level and make sure it is at the recommended level. Low oil can also cause a rattling noise in your engine.

It could also be due to loose or damaged engine mounts. These mounts help keep your engine stable, so it is important to get them checked and replaced if needed.
