Why is my Vauxhall Corsa engine making a tapping noise?

I have a 2015 Vauxhall Corsa and recently noticed a tapping noise coming from the engine. It happens when the car is idling or when I accelerate. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

The tapping noise could be caused by low oil levels in your engine. Check your oil dipstick and if it's low, make sure to top it off.

Another possible cause of the tapping noise could be a faulty valve lifters or lash adjusters. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

If the tapping noise happens only when you accelerate, it could be an issue with the fuel injectors. Consider getting them cleaned by a professional.

It's also important to note if the tapping noise is accompanied by any other symptoms, like loss of power or strange smells. These could indicate a more serious issue and you should take your car to a mechanic immediately.
