Why is my Ford Fiesta engine making a knocking sound?

I recently bought a pre-owned Ford Fiesta and noticed that the engine makes a knocking sound whenever I accelerate. It's quite concerning and I'm not sure what could be causing this issue. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice on what could be causing it and how to fix it?

Hi Lila, I had a similar issue with my Ford Fiesta. It turned out to be a problem with the timing belt. I'd suggest taking it to a certified mechanic to have it checked.

Hey there, Lila! Did you recently get an oil change? Sometimes using the wrong type of oil can cause knocking noises in the engine. Double check if the right oil was used.

Hi Lila, I had this same problem with my Ford Fiesta a while back. It turned out to be an issue with the spark plugs. Make sure to have those checked as well.
