If your 2015 Hyundai Elantra’s engine recently started ticking, there are a few simple solutions to rule out first before you worry about more expensive issues.
A ticking noise in an Elantra’s engine is most often caused by one of the following four issues: low engine oil, low oil pressure, an exhaust leak, or an ignition problem. The first three of that list are pretty affordable, easy fixes. Ignition problems or other possible causes, though, could be more costly.
So if you check your oil and all seems well, and there’s no indication of an exhaust leak, it’s probably time to get your car checked out by a professional. If you’re worried about the potential cost of diagnostics and repair, we may have a way to help free up your budget.
