Why is the Ford EcoSport engine making a ticking noise?

I recently started noticing a ticking noise coming from the engine of my Ford EcoSport. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It is possible that the timing belt or the valve train components may need to be replaced. I recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis and repair. It's always better to be safe than sorry with engine issues.

I had a similar issue with my EcoSport and it turned out to be a loose spark plug. Make sure all of the spark plugs are tightened properly and see if that resolves the ticking noise.

This could also be a sign of low oil pressure or a failing oil pump. Check your oil levels and consider getting an oil change if it's been a while. If the noise persists, have a mechanic check the oil pump.
