Why is my Vauxhall Corsa experiencing engine knocking sounds?

I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Corsa and have noticed some strange engine sounds when driving. The car seems to make knocking or tapping sounds, especially when accelerating. Should I be concerned about this issue and what steps can I take to address it?

Hi Rachel, it is possible that your Vauxhall Corsa is experiencing issues with its engine components. Engine knocking generally occurs when there is a problem with the fuel ignition or combustion. It is important to address this issue as it can lead to further engine damage if left unchecked. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have it properly diagnosed and repaired.

Hey Rachel, I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Corsa and it turned out to be a faulty fuel filter. Sometimes debris or dirt can build up in the filter, causing the engine to make knocking noises. My advice would be to check your fuel filter and have it replaced if necessary.

Hi Rachel, I had a Vauxhall Corsa in the past and experienced similar engine knocking sounds. In my case, it was due to a low oil level. Ensure that your car has the proper amount of oil and if the issue persists, it could be an indication of a more serious problem.
