Why is my Ford Mondeo's engine making a tapping noise?

I recently noticed that my Ford Mondeo's engine has started making a tapping noise. It's not a loud noise, but it's definitely noticeable. What could be causing this and is it something I should be worried about?

The tapping noise you hear could be caused by a few different things, but one common culprit is low oil pressure. I recommend checking your oil level and making sure it's at the recommended level. You may also want to have a mechanic take a look at your engine to rule out any other potential issues.

Another possible cause of a tapping noise in your Ford Mondeo's engine could be a faulty valve lash adjuster. This is a relatively easy fix that can be done by a mechanic, so if that's the issue, don't panic. Just make sure to get it taken care of sooner rather than later.
