It is normal for engines to make noises, but if the clicking sound is excessive or unusual, it could be a sign of a problem. It is best to get it checked by a mechanic to identify and fix the issue before it becomes a bigger problem. Trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry.

The clicking sound could be due to low oil levels or dirty oil. If you haven't had an oil change in a while, it would be a good idea to get one done. It could also be a sign of a faulty valve or worn out bearings. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

I own a Vauxhall Corsa myself and have experienced this clicking sound. After consulting with a mechanic, it turned out to be a loose timing chain. It's a common issue with Corsas, and it's important to get it fixed as soon as possible to avoid any further damage to your engine.

In some cases, the clicking sound could be caused by a worn out or damaged spark plug. This is usually an easy and inexpensive fix, but it's important to get it checked and replaced if needed. I suggest taking your car to a certified mechanic to get it done correctly.
