Why is my Kia ProCeed engine making a rattling noise?

I recently bought a Kia ProCeed and have noticed that the engine makes a rattling noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the front of the car. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It is possible that there is an issue with the timing chain tensioner. This can cause a rattling noise in the engine. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.

Another possible cause could be a loose heat shield on the exhaust system. This can also create a rattling noise under acceleration. It's best to have this checked and fixed to prevent any further damage.

In some cases, a rattling noise can be a sign of low oil levels or a dirty oil filter. Check your oil level and change the filter if needed. If the noise persists, it's best to have a professional look into it.
