Why is my Ford Kuga engine making a loud knocking noise?

I recently purchased a Ford Kuga and have noticed that the engine is making a loud knocking noise. It seems to happen when I accelerate or when the car is idling. Is this a common issue with Ford Kugas? What could be causing this noise?

Hi Trevor, engine knocking noises can be caused by a few different things. It could be a sign of worn-out engine bearings, loose belts, or even a problem with the fuel injectors. It's best to get your car checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause and get it fixed before it leads to bigger problems.

Hi Trevor, your Ford Kuga might be experiencing this issue due to low oil levels or poor quality engine oil. Make sure to regularly check your oil levels and use high-quality oil to avoid any engine knocking noises. If the problem persists, it's best to bring it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Hi Trevor, another possible cause of engine knocking noises could be a problem with the spark plugs or ignition timing. Make sure to have your spark plugs replaced regularly and get your ignition timing checked by a professional mechanic to fix any potential issues.
