does it only occur under load, if so it could be detonation and after a few 'knocks' the knock sensor should tell the ECU to adjust things accordingly. a higher octane fuel like Optimax should prevent this . it could also be a faulty hydraulic tappet but this is more of a ticking than a knocking
first of all chek your oil level. then inspect valve clearances. do the obvious checks first. have you had it serviced recently? if spark plugs have been changed have they been tightened??
