This could be caused by a number of issues, but the most likely culprit is low engine oil. Check your oil levels and make sure they are topped up if needed.

E

Another possible cause could be a loose belt in the engine. If you hear a squealing noise along with the knocking, it's likely the belt needs to be tightened or replaced.

D

It's also possible that there is an issue with your spark plugs. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause knocking noises in the engine. Consider getting them replaced.

S

If none of these solutions work, it's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis. They will be able to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a solution.
