I recently bought a Kia Sportage and have noticed a rattling sound coming from the engine. What could be causing this noise and how can I fix it?
ReplyHi Amy, a rattling sound could indicate a few different issues with your car. It's best to take it to a mechanic to have a proper diagnosis. Some possible causes could be loose or worn out belts, engine mounts, or even the exhaust system. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to your car.
Hey Amy, I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a loose heat shield. I would suggest checking that as a possible cause. If that's not the issue, it's best to bring it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis. Don't wait too long though, as a rattling sound could indicate a more serious problem.
Hi Amy, I'm also a Kia Sportage owner and I've experienced rattling sounds in the past. In my case, it was due to worn out engine mounts. I would recommend having those checked by a mechanic and replaced if necessary. It's not a very expensive fix and will greatly improve the smoothness of your drive.
