I've noticed that my Kia ProCeed's engine is making some weird noises. It's not quite a grinding or squeaking sound, but more of a rattling or knocking noise. It seems to happen when I accelerate or decelerate. Any idea what could be causing this and what I should do about it?
ReplyIt's possible that you have an issue with your engine's timing chain. This can sometimes cause rattling or knocking noises, especially when the engine is under load. It's important to have this checked out by a trusted mechanic as soon as possible, as ignoring the issue can lead to more serious problems down the line.
One possible cause of this noise could be a problem with your exhaust system. Loose or damaged components can create rattling or knocking noises, especially when the car is in motion. I would suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have the exhaust system inspected and repaired if necessary.
If you've recently had a new engine oil or filter put in, it's possible that they were not fitted correctly and this is causing the noise. Make sure to go back to the mechanic who performed the service and have them double check their work. If they find any issues, they should fix them free of charge.
