Why does my Vauxhall Mokka's engine make a clicking noise?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Mokka's engine makes a strange clicking noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the engine bay. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

The clicking noise could be caused by a number of issues, but the most common one is a faulty valve lifter. It could also be due to low oil level or dirty oil. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Mokka and it turned out to be a loose heat shield around the exhaust. It's an easy fix and you can do it yourself with a few simple tools.

I would advise checking your car's spark plugs and ignition coils. Worn out spark plugs or faulty coils can also cause clicking noises in the engine. If they need replacing, make sure to use high-quality parts.

In some cases, the clicking noise could be due to a failing alternator. If the alternator is not charging the battery properly, it can cause strange noises coming from the engine. Get it checked and replaced if necessary to avoid any further issues.
