If you want to book a ticking or rattling noise repair in Swinton, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
It's easy to travel in Swinton when your car is being repaired, thanks to public transport links from two train stations on the Manchester-Southport line and several bus services. There is a shopping centre between Chorley Road and Swinton Hall Road where you can get a bite to eat or shop while you wait. Park Street in Swinton has seen numerous road accidents due to being used as a cut-through between the A6 and A666, leading to the approval of plans for a one-way traffic lane and reduced speed limit.
Urban driving in Swinton may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Swinton can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.
The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose serpentine belt or timing chain. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.
