Why is the Ford S-Max engine making a rattling noise?

I've noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine of my Ford S-Max and I'm not sure what could be causing it. I've checked the oil levels and they seem fine. Any advice on what could be the issue and how to fix it?

Hi Emily, a rattling noise from the engine could indicate a few different issues. It could be something simple like a loose belt or something more serious like a problem with the valves. My recommendation would be to take your Ford S-Max to a trusted mechanic to diagnose the issue.

Hey Emily, I had a similar issue with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a problem with the timing chain. I would suggest getting that checked as well.
