Why is my Vauxhall Zafira Life's engine making a loud clicking noise?

I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Zafira Life and noticed that the engine is making a loud clicking noise. It happens when I start the car and sometimes while driving. I'm concerned that it could be a serious issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi Jeremy, the loud clicking noise could be caused by a few different things. It could be an issue with the valves, spark plugs, or even a loose belt. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it diagnosed and repaired.

Jeremy, the clicking noise could also be a sign of low oil levels. Check your oil level and top it up if needed. If that doesn't resolve the issue, it's best to have a professional take a look.

Hey Jeremy, I had a similar issue with my Zafira and it turned out to be a problem with the fuel injectors. I would advise getting them checked and possibly replaced if needed.
