Why is my Vauxhall Corsa's engine making a strange knocking sound?

I've noticed that my Vauxhall Corsa's engine is making a knocking sound while driving. I'm not sure what could be causing this and I'm worried it might be a serious issue. Any advice on what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Hi Samantha, the knocking sound could be caused by several factors. It could be a problem with the engine's timing or a faulty spark plug. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis.

Hello Samantha, have you recently changed your oil? If not, it could be due for a change. Old oil can cause engine knocking and should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Hey Samantha, do you hear the knocking sound during acceleration or only when the engine is idling? If it's only during acceleration, it could be an issue with the fuel injectors. It's best to have a mechanic take a look to properly diagnose the problem.
