Why is my Ford Puma's engine making a loud noise?

I just bought a used Ford Puma and recently the engine has started making a loud noise. It's almost like a ticking sound and it seems to get louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to fix it?

It's possible that there could be an issue with your engine's valves. It's important to get this checked by a certified mechanic as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your engine.

Have you checked your engine oil lately? It's possible that your car's engine is low on oil and that could be causing the noise. Make sure to top up your oil if needed and see if the noise goes away.

I had the same issue with my Ford Puma and it turned out to be a faulty exhaust system. I would recommend taking your car to a reputable mechanic to get it checked out.
