Why is my Kia Picanto engine making a rattling noise?

I have a 2018 Kia Picanto and recently I have noticed a strange rattling noise coming from the engine. It seems to happen when the car is idling or when I am accelerating. It's quite concerning and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can someone please advise me on what could be causing this issue?

The rattling noise could be caused by a loose heat shield on the exhaust system. It's a common issue with Kia Picantos and it's not difficult to fix. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic who can securely reattach the heat shield.

Another possibility is that your spark plugs or ignition coils may need to be replaced. This can cause a rattling noise in the engine. I suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked and replace any faulty parts.

Make sure to check your oil levels regularly as low oil levels can also cause a rattling noise in the engine. If the level is low, add some oil as soon as possible. It's also a good idea to get your oil changed regularly to prevent any future engine issues.
