Why is my Vauxhall Crossland's engine making knocking noises?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Crossland and noticed that the engine makes knocking noises when I accelerate. I'm concerned about the health of my engine and would like to know what could be causing this issue.

Hi Mark, the knocking noise could be caused by a variety of things. It could be due to low oil levels, worn out engine bearings, or even spark knock. It's best to have a mechanic take a look to properly diagnose the issue and prevent any further damage to your engine.

Hi Mark, have you noticed if the knocking noise only occurs when the engine is cold? If so, it could be due to the oil not properly lubricating the engine until it warms up. I suggest getting an oil change and using a high-quality synthetic oil to prevent this issue.

Hi Mark, the knocking noise could also be caused by a malfunctioning fuel injector. It's important to have it checked and replaced if necessary to ensure that your engine is running smoothly.
