Engine knocking can be caused by a few different things, but one possible issue could be low engine oil or poor quality oil. Make sure to check your oil levels and consider using a higher quality oil. If the issue persists, it may be best to take your car to a trusted mechanic for further diagnosis.

Another potential cause of engine knocking could be a problem with your fuel. Cheap or contaminated fuel can lead to knocking sounds in your engine. Consider getting your fuel system checked and using higher quality fuel in the future.

It's also possible that the knocking sound is coming from a faulty engine component, such as a worn out bearing or piston. It's important to have these checked and repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your engine.
