With the Dawoo Nubira if you ear a ticking noise check immediately for a bad timing belt!!!
The service intervals for those are 5 years or 60,000 miles. But they are also susceptible to dry rot. If that belt goes you could be calling the junk yard to come get your car... The Dawoo Nubria has what is called an "interference" engine. Which means that if the belt fails completely the valves will be hanging open when the piston comes to the top of the cylinder bending valves in the head and destroying the head.
A timing belt cost about $250 USD to replace in a shop. If it fails it will cost you thousands of dollars to repair.
That being said,.. there are other things that can cause a ticking sound. Bad gas, worn or out of adjustment valves, engine timing, ect.
But none of those things bear the consequences of the worn out timing belt.
So if your belt is out of maintenance parameters CHANGE THAT BELT!!!
Mine takes me about 2 hours to change myself in my driveway. I change mine at 50K, and the part only cost me $50 USD.

1994 Plymouth voyager makes a ticking noise from the time it starts until you turn it off What is the problem and how can you fix it?
The ticking noise could be worn out rocker arms under valve covers. Switch to heavier weight oil if ticking noise subsides that could be your problem. This is usually a sign of a high mileage engine. Worst case scenario would be weak oil pump not getting oil to top of heads.
