Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
ECU stands for engine control unit, sometimes referred to as the engine control module (ECM). This component ensures your car's engine runs smoothly by, for example, determining the amount of fuel that goes into the cylinders. You can find out more about how it works here.
Signs of a faulty ECU include misfires, the check engine light, starting problems, and engine surges or lags. ECU testing and repairs can help you work out the cause of the problem, such as faulty wiring or a bad sensor.
ECU testing uses a diagnostic tool known as an OBD scanner, which extracts information from the car's computer and allows the technician to check fault codes.
Can an ECU be repaired? Most of the time, the answer is yes; the ECU can be reprogrammed or repaired. The same applies to water damaged ECUs, as long as the damage is minimal. Some technicians may offer mobile ECU repairs at a location that's convenient for you.
