Check the engine oil level and condition first. Low or old oil can cause knocking sounds when the engine is cold. If the oil level is low, top it up, and if it's dirty, consider an oil change. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
Thank you for the quick response! The oil is neither old nor low. Changed, topped up.

Inspect the engine's timing components, such as the timing belt or chain, for wear or tension issues. A loose or worn timing component can cause knocking sounds when the engine is cold. If you're unsure, it's best to have a mechanic take a look, as this can affect engine performance. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions!
