Why is my Vauxhall Mokka's engine making a loud tapping noise?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Mokka's engine has been making a loud tapping noise lately. It seems to happen when the car is idling or when I am accelerating. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

The loud tapping noise could be caused by a variety of issues. It could be due to low oil levels, a faulty valve, or even a problem with the engine's bearings. If left unaddressed, it could lead to more serious engine damage. It's best to take your car to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

I experienced a similar issue with my Vauxhall Mokka and it turned out to be a problem with the spark plugs. It's important to have them checked and replaced if necessary, as they play a crucial role in the engine's performance.

If the tapping noise only occurs when you are accelerating, it could be a sign of a clogged fuel filter. Replace the fuel filter and see if the noise improves. It's also a good idea to have your fuel system checked regularly to prevent any further issues.
