Why is my Kia Rio making a clicking noise when I accelerate?

I recently bought a used Kia Rio and have noticed that every time I accelerate, there is a clicking noise coming from the engine. It seems to be more noticeable when the car is cold. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

It is possible that the clicking noise is coming from a loose or worn out drive belt. You should have a mechanic inspect the belt and replace it if necessary.

The clicking noise could also be caused by a faulty CV joint. This is a more serious issue and should be addressed immediately to avoid further damage.

In some cases, the clicking noise could be caused by low oil levels. Check your oil and top it off if needed. If the problem persists, it could be a sign of an oil leak.
