Newcastle is the most heavily populated city in the North East and the third best city for motorists in the UK. However, Newcastle's roads are notorious for potholes, which can cause cracked alloys, buckled wheels, lumps in tyres and incorrect tracking if you hit them regularly. The city is home to several iconic landmarks, most of which you can see from your car, including the Tyne Bridge, the Millennium Bridge and the Angel of the North.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
Driving in cities like Newcastle upon Tyne puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Newcastle upon Tyne for all these crucial components.
Since Newcastle upon Tyne is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Newcastle upon Tyne.
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.
