Why is my Kia Rio's engine making a loud noise?

I have noticed that my Kia Rio's engine has been making a loud noise when I accelerate. This noise has never happened before. What could be causing it?

It is important to get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. It could be a sign of a bigger issue.

Check the oil levels in your car. Low oil levels can sometimes cause unusual engine noises.

I had a similar problem with my Kia Rio and it turned out to be a loose engine belt. Have your mechanic check the belt tension and replace if necessary.
