Why does my Ford Kuga's engine make a rattling sound?

I recently purchased a Ford Kuga and noticed that the engine makes a loud rattling noise when I start the car. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my engine? I want to make sure my car is running properly and avoid any potential engine damage.

It's common for some Ford Kuga models to have a slight rattling noise when starting the engine. However, if the noise is loud and persists, it could indicate an issue with the timing belt or tensioner. I recommend taking your car to a certified Ford mechanic for a thorough inspection.

I had the same issue with my Ford Kuga and it turned out to be a problem with the exhaust system. The rattling noise was caused by a loose heat shield. Make sure to take your car in for a check-up as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.
