Why is the Kia Picanto's engine making a clicking noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Picanto and noticed that the engine makes a clicking noise when I accelerate. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The clicking noise is most likely caused by a faulty valve lifter. It is important to have this checked and fixed as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to the engine.

It could also be due to low oil levels. Make sure to check your oil regularly and top up if necessary.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Picanto and it turned out to be a loose exhaust shield. Have a mechanic take a look at it.
