I just bought a 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited, and I’ve noticed this annoying tapping sound coming from the engine since I got it. Anyone else experienced something similar? I’m not sure if it’s normal or something serious. Any ideas?
I had that issue with my Elantra too! I found out it was due to metal filings from manufacturing. It can cause engine damage and results in a tapping noise. Kinda freaked me out, lol.
My friend had the same issue! He was told the clearance between the valves and parts might be off. You might want to get it checked out!
I heard that using a different oil filter can sometimes help with those noises. Have you tried that?
I had a tapping noise too, but it turned out to be nothing serious! Just some loose parts. I wouldn’t stress too much unless it gets louder.
