Why is my Vauxhall Corsa’s engine making a strange noise?

I recently noticed that my Vauxhall Corsa’s engine is making a strange noise. It sounds like a clicking or tapping sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It is likely that there is an issue with the valves or lifters in your engine. You should take your car to a mechanic to have it checked and repaired if necessary. Don't ignore the noise as it could lead to further damage.

Check your engine oil level and condition. Low or dirty oil can cause strange noises in the engine. If needed, get an oil change and see if the noise goes away. Also, pay attention to any warning lights on your dashboard.

It is possible that the noise is coming from a loose or damaged belt. Check the condition of your serpentine belt and other belts in your engine. If needed, replace the damaged belt or tighten the loose one. This should resolve the issue.
