Why is my Kia Stonic's engine making a clicking noise?

I have noticed that my Kia Stonic's engine is making a clicking noise when I start the car. It goes away after a few minutes of driving, but I'm concerned about potential long-term damage. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to address it?

It sounds like there may be an issue with your engine's valves. It is important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage to your engine.

This could be a sign of low oil pressure. Check your oil levels and make sure they are within the recommended range. If the issue persists, bring it to a dealership or mechanic for further inspection.

It is possible that the problem is with the timing belt or tensioner. These parts can wear out over time and could be causing the clicking noise. Have a professional inspect these components and replace them if necessary.
