I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and noticed that the engine is making a ticking sound. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?
ReplyThe ticking sound could be caused by a few different things. It could be a sign that your engine oil level is low, or that the oil needs to be changed. Alternatively, it could be an issue with the valve lifters. I suggest taking your car to a trusted mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.
I had the same issue with my Kia Stonic and it turned out to be a faulty timing chain tensioner. It's a common problem with this model, and you may need to have it replaced. I recommend taking your car to a Kia dealership for this repair, as they will be most familiar with the issue.
If you're hearing a clicking or ticking sound coming from the engine, it could be a sign of low oil pressure. Check your oil level and make sure it's at the recommended level. If it's low, top it up with the manufacturer-recommended oil. If the problem persists, take your car to a certified mechanic for further diagnosis.
